The Academy talks about the movie revolution that was brought on by Jurassic Park
Just a few days ago, I posted a fantastic video of how Jurassic Park changed the special effects landscape for all movies moving forward from that point in time. The Academy had this similar video posted back in 2014 that says mostly the same thing (but with more access to the actual people responsible for the film). Of course, there's a warning at the end on over-reliance on CGI. It seems Jurassic Park was a great balance of practical vs special FX and that's why it stands the test of time.
