Jurassic Park’s Sequels Proved The Human Characters Were Always More Important Than The Dinosaurs

Jurassic Park‘s most iconic moments feature the Velociraptors and the T-Rex, but it’s the human characters that make the scenes memorable, and their absence in the sequels is why they failed. The original 1993 movie was revolutionary, as no other action movie had seamlessly intertwined digital and practical effects. While it’s a little more obvious now, at the time, it was impossible to decipher between the two. Seeing the gigantic creatures on the big screen was jaw-dropping, and there had been nothing like it before, and there hasn’t been much like it since, not even in the sequels.
