Despite huge advances in CGI technology, Jurassic World Dominion directorColin Trevorrow decided on an old-fashioned approach for the recent dinosaur epic. He used more animatronic creatures than computer generated ones in the film, saying the actors interact with those better and consequently bring more realism to the movie. “Animatronics give them the ability to interact with it as if it’s another actor because there’s another performer behind it. It really is a human and a human communicating via a puppet, which is a beautiful kind of art,” he explained. Examples of their use in the film come when a Giganotosaurus is slowly stalking the characters and when a cute baby Nasutoceratops is interacting with them. Reviews for the film have been largely negative, suggesting the franchise may have run its course despite big box office numbers. But there has been nothing but praise for the special effects and visuals with the technology some of the best in the entire series.
