Jurassic Park
1993 | Adventure | USA | Directed by Steven Spielberg
Overview
Dinosaurs from frog DNA, a park built on hubris, and CGI that put practical effects on notice. The first brachiosaur reveal and the T. rex rain sequence recalibrated movie magic in two scenes. Top grossing film in history to that point. Chaos theory, amber canes, raptors in kitchens. The creature feature reborn as software, the same year Spielberg released a Holocaust masterwork.
