Jurassic Park loses to Cliffhanger???

I get the concept, but still, you gotta be f'n kidding me.

In terms of total industrial impact it isn't such a stretch to think the advance in Cliffhanger has had a greater impact than Jurassic Park (digital removal occurs in movies across all genres while digital creatures are still pretty limited in their appearances).

The dinosaurs are definitely visually impressive though.

JP didn't "lose" to Cliffhanger: it is a chronological listing from oldest to newest.

Not that it matters much then they need to swap Polar Express with The Day After Tomorrow. The latter was released six months before the former.

Ok....I'd then say that "top 10" is a misleading title for it.

I also don't get why Polar Express is on here. It wasn't the first to use motion-capture, it just used it the most. Kind of the opposite of the reason Cliffhanger was included.

Hmm, don't know why this list makes me all negative.
