10 Influential Sci-Fi Films That Inspire Tim Smit11 of 12
Jurassic Park (1993)
"Not often does a movie have a profounder impact on movie history than Jurassic Park. A lovely adventure story, dealing with parenthood, survival, and the dangers of playing god. But it were the breakthrough visual effects that became a milestone, not just changing moviemaking but also kickstarting an entire new digital industry. Suddenly everything was possible. Breathtakingly realistic and still considered a constant inspiration for many people around the world, even now. Twenty-four years later, there are many visual effects in movies being released that don't even come close to the quality set forth by Jurassic Park. Not bad for a bunch of guys working with computers much slower than current smartphones."
