Jurassic Park (1993)

In 1993, the concept of dinosaurs was something that was only realized onscreen by puppetry and practical effects. Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend and Jim Henson’s Dinosaurs tv show were about the cream of the crop of what an onscreen dinosaur looked like. Who better to change this idea than The Beard himself, Steven Spielberg. With friend Michael Crichton publishing a book he told Spielberg was ‘the most expensive movie ever made’, and Spielberg’s career needing a boost after 1991’s Hook coming and going with a whimper, it would seem all the pieces were coming together for Jurassic Park, a film that would change visual effects as we know it. Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they begin a retrospective 65 million years in the making, beginning with the 1993 original, Jurassic Park.
