Spielberg Re-Invents the Blockbuster With ‘Jurassic Park’
While the 1980s saw its fair share of innovative blockbusters once every few years, it took the original summer movie master to push the needle forward in any real measurable way. In 1993, Steven Spielberg reclaimed his throne as the king of the blockbuster with Jurassic Park. The film delivered set pieces that were larger than ever before thanks to a relatively new special effects technique: computer generated imagery, or CGI. Spielberg may not have been the first director to use CGI (not by a long shot), but he was the first to make the burgeoning art form look anything other than hokey. Spielberg’s dinosaurs were — and still are — exceptionally terrifying.
