That T Rex scene in JP still holds up. In fact a lot of that movie's CG held up for a lot longer than it had any right to as a movie made in 1993

Very good
Edit: oh wait, it was 2002
Ironically enough, the original Mummy, which is actually from the 90s has some really good CG that still kinda holds up today.
Is the monkey in the driver's seat also holding the shotgun???Very bad: The monkeys from Jumanji:
Johnny Mnemonic had some pretty bag CG cutscenes lol
Fifth Element I thought was ahead of its time and holds up well
I remember being so invested into the mystery, and seriously asking if they were being "for real" when those CG ballsack monsters showed up.

it was the best of times, it was the worst of times
I still think Draco holds up pretty damn well.
Fuck yes. Dragonheart
I still think Draco holds up pretty damn well.
The animation in this movie holds up really well for something from 96. I think the CGI has actually aged better then the actual sets and costumes. Almost anything that isn't the dragon looks surprisingly cheap these days.
Principal photography was done with a very inexperienced crew.
Yeah, I'm watching some clips, and the costumes look on par with the Xena or Hercules shows.
Whereas Draco still looks great, especially when he's in full sunlight or deep shadow, where the now-archaic CGI lighting isn't so obvious.
It was hideously ugly, even at the time, and it wasn't THAT early.
I knew people who swore by it, but I couldn't stand looking at it. Beast Wars, too.
That's really cool. It makes the disparity make much more sense.
Also, yes Reboot looks its age, but that second and third season are still awesome. I would still rank it as one of the most ambitious shows for kids.
Fifth Element I thought was ahead of its time and holds up well
The buildings are scale models actually. The yacht flying over the ocean looks pretty mediocre, but not as bad as the other other examples
I consider Jurassic Park (1993) was one of the best.
Then again, I was a kid back in 1993, and thought the CGs were fantastic & realistic.

Ha, I knew jumanji was gonna come up. But shockingly I don't think the cgi monkeys are that bad in 4k feel like they are some how worse in 1080p.Very bad: The monkeys from Jumanji:
That weird shot of Michael Myers in H20 where they used cg instead of reshooting a scene after the changed mask mid production.
Just watched Jumanji (rewatching after watching the Rock version) the other day and this CGI was so bad it was wonderful.Very bad: The monkeys from Jumanji:
There are some CG scenes in JP that look as good as films that are released today.I consider Jurassic Park (1993) was one of the best.

i remember thinking even back then how bad this looked, even though it was one of the first examples of cgi i've ever seen.
I feel like having another character in the movie with almost the same design, but with CGI (by a different studio) that's like a million times better kinda highlights that.
