Jurassic Park Premiere (1993)
On June 9, 1993, the film Jurassic Park directed by Steven Spielberg had its overseas premiere. The spectacular film with the theme of dinosaurs and genetic manipulations was significant mainly because of the special effects used. Its creators decided to use CGI technologies from the workshop of Industrial Light & Magic on a really large scale. The computer animation that was used in the film - although it was really meager compared to today's films - was really timeless for its time, and the film unleashed a worldwide dynomania, especially among children and young people.

I'm a bit older now, but I remember the first Juráč. I was sitting there with my mouth open. But still, Terminator 2 probably made an impression on me in 91. Then nothing really surprised a person. Maybe a little Matrix and then 3D Avatar. Yes, time flies.
