How is paragraph 2 structured in CGI Is the Future of Movies?
Paragraph 2: When the 1993 movie Jurassic Park was released, CGI was still an unproven technology. Many people weren’t sure it was worth the money. But audiences were amazed by the realistic dinosaurs “interacting” with human actors. Jurassic Park’s enormous success proved that CGI technology could look convincing and earn money. After seeing the dinosaurs, director George Lucas said, “It was like one of those moments in history . . . a major gap had been crossed and things were never going to be the same.” Film critic Tom Shone compared the invention of CGI to the use of sound in movies in 1927. CGI has allowed filmmakers to show Washington, DC, exploding in Independence Day, giant robots battling monsters in Pacific Rim, and an entire alien planet to come to life in Avatar. None of these effects would be convincing, or even possible, without CGI.
