If special effects are poorly applied or relied on too heavily to compensate for other shortcomings, the final result tends to be deficient. In most projects, it all comes down to a matter of balance between effects, scenes, and actors, and when that balance is achieved, the result rarely disappoints. The best way to visualize this equilibrium is by comparing the before and after with exclusive behind-the-scenes images and the historic shots that made it to the big screen.
The appearance of the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. The melted version of Emil Antonowsky in RoboCop. The Terminator cutting off its arm and tearing out its eye in the bathroom. These unique moments, despite technical limitations, became etched in our minds thanks to the extraordinary work of special effects experts and the actors who adapted wonderfully to each situation. Personally, I would also like to mention those responsible for the audio. There are very powerful effects there, and the perfect sound at the exact moment can change everything...
