I think I'm getting to the point where I prefer old animatronic effects with washed-out, dull colors to the bright, overly done CGI of .. well just about anything to day. The shit is just waaaay too overdone.

Also, what the fuck with that cast though. That's the best all that money could get? Cut out a few seconds of raptor scene and get some real actors. Or, better yet, get some underrated, underpaid good actors.

^ What this loon said. The special effects in Jurassic Park were breathtaking and still viable by today's standards.

Oh, the golden days of cinema when the Alien Queen was made out of garbage bags...

The Alien/Predator series are darker movies so the problem I'm talking about isn't present. What I'm talking about is how over the top the colors are. It's just seems so unnatural that it loses its effect. Jurassic Park isn't even the worst example, but I've been having a lot of these problems lately. Not even just with movies either, video games are getting infected too, and, well, Legacy of the Void's got it bad.

I guess you can only love or hate the brightness of today's CGI effects. IMO though, loving the darker themes was a side effect of apreciating all the effort placed on the real special effects. We cherished SciFi films where darker atmospheres were used as makeup for the technological limitations. It might have not been a concious decision, but it made sense to love the prop and the scene it was in. The whole environment made sense and therefore there was no disbelief of the worlds created.

Today, looking at bad CGI is like being able to see the strings on a movie prop. However, it's harder to identify the exact detail that screwed up. You don't call out the "strings" anymore, in most cases. You just complain about how bad a scene was. It just looks bad as a whole and that's it.

I love JP so much. I broke two Jurassic Park VHS when I was a kid. I could not understand English (yes, it was only in that language at the time even in Mexico), but I could recreate whole scenes from the movie with my Legos and JP dinosaurs (specially the museum battle at the end). I bought 2 PC games about Dinosaurs and a disc encyclopedia with clips and things. So while other kids were playing easy Mario 64, I was shooting dinosaurs in Trespasser. It had the worst UI a game could have and it was damn hard at my age. That game was awesome. I will watch Jurassic World for the sake of nostalgia, but the filler action and CGI will end my love for the modern franchise.
