Rewatching the T-Rex sequence highlights one other facet that the later sequels, and Dominion didn’t do…and that was to create suspense.
On this sequence, you truly felt like Tim or Lex might die (Spielberg demonstrated in Jaws, that even younger characters weren’t exempt from being taken out).
The glass of water, the disappearing goat, the rain, flashlight within the eye..the crash the the glass roof, the automobile being turned over as Tim sinks within the mud (earlier than it went flying over the sting)…
It was all accomplished so nicely, and an excellent instance of a suspenseful sequence. That is an enormous factor that’s lacking from the brand new trilogy.
