No one is pretending it hasn't aged lol. Anyone can argue little nuggets and bits here and there. No one gives a fuck. The point is that Jurassic Park still feels more authentic than what's being shat out every two years in some attempt to recapture what was done over 30 years ago. If anyone thinks Jurassic World #17 looks better, then good for you! But the movies are diarrhea and have exactly 0% of the visual charm of the original movie. It's not even about the image quality or technical details. It's about how each scene is brought into the film, how they captured the spectacle, the build-up, the actors' reactions, how the visuals and dialogue complement each other, etc. It's way more than, "well, Jurassic Park has no musculature system." Again, no one gives a single solitary fuck about any of that. The fact that people keep trying to break it down into technical details is mindbogglingly obtuse and misses the point entirely.Not really. But World nearly got beaten by Inside Out 2 last year.
I know you're getting punked in this thread over this post, but I'll bite on the Jurassic Park stuff. I can't stand people that pretend like its visuals are still superior and proceed to mythologize it, even going to such lengths to defend it by saying it can only be appreciated or critiqued on a 35mm projector. There was one such thread on this forum 4-5 years ago and it made my head hurt.
Poor textures, texture warping, no musculature system. I know it was a quantum leap forward...but we need to stop pretending like it hasn't aged. It has...and noticeably.
For every shot in Jurassic Park that is still passable, there is one or two that just don't cut the mustard, plain and simple.
Case in point:
I'll gladly take Park's aged look over CGI vomit, ScarJo, and voice actor Mario shitting out World movies alongside retarded raptors every 2-3 years.
