It's one of my favourite films. I remember the hype building up and finally seeing it in the cinema with my cousins.
I waited ages for it to come out on VHS and in the meantime I read the novel.
After what felt like decades, my Mum got it for me from Tesco(crikey, that was a looooooooong supermarket trip with the video box sitting in the trolley for what felt like hours). The tape was a bit dodgy so the top few cm would flicker but we never did take it back for an exchange.
The CGI is among the best I've seen. As you say, Supes, a lot of it stands up today which is mind-boggling when you consider it's just over twenty years old and the strides taken since then. It definitely shows that CGI done well can stand the test of time. I think that's testament to the artists and also that ILM really do know how to blend CGI and live elements. What I like most about the CGI is that it's realistic but it has to be CGI because dinosaurs don't exist. It's not like they were modelling amazing realistic trees or weather systems or something they can mix in with actual shots to add to the illusion.
I'm looking forward to watching it again soon.
