I appreciate the CGi in this film because it doesn't rely entirely on it. Whenever they could use full-scale models, they did. (During the T-Rex escape scene for example, much of that was Stan Winston's creation!) They only used CGi for shots where live-action techniques are impossible, a T-Rex running, a raptor jumping on a table, etc. Nowadays, filmmakers philosophy is to not only use CGi for everything, but blantantly FIND reasons to use it. Did the movie Spiderman really require a computer generated Spiderman? Not really. Not for all the shots it was used for.
I prefer the Lord of the Rings philosophy, where Peter Jackson used as much live action models and sets as possible, unlike Star Wars, where it's more the reverse, use as few actors and sets as possible.
