At times the beasts (animated, mostly, by the computer - sorcerers from Industrial Light & Magic) move in a hazier space than the humans in the foreground, but in the intimate scenes the dinos are utterly convincing. Spielberg loves to mix wonder with horror, and he has fun creating a living Museum of Natural Fantasy...
Perhaps the case would be hazier if all of these groups were using College funding for the overseas trips. But the restrictions even apply to independent groups with no College aid. The members of these organizations should obviously be able to spend that money as they...
