Jurassic World: 10 Reasons It's The Worst Movie In The Franchise

7. The Special Effects Have Gotten Worse

How did it come to pass that the special effects on the Jurassic films have gotten worse, not better, as the franchise has gone along? Jurassic Park was made in 1993, at the beginning of the CGI revolution, and the dinosaurs in that look better than those in Jurassic World, which has 22 years of extra effects experience going for it - so what gives? There's actually a fairly simple answer for this: it's increasing laziness, with decreasing amounts of filmmaking talent. Whereas Spielberg by necessity had to build a lot of practical dinos and mask the CGI so the fledgling nature of the technology didn't show, Colin Trevorrow hasn't had to do the same for Jurassic World. Part of Trevorrow's failure in this department is apparent over-abundance of confidence. Spielberg did everything practical where possible, then used minimal computerised imagery, but with Jurassic World, Trevorrow has assumed he can throw all the CGI that he wants at the screen because the technology is now good enough - it isn't, or at least the people he's hired have only done a shoddy job with a half-finished appearance.
