Just recently I rewatched the first 3 Jurassic Park movies and found they aged really well. You never have the feeling that there's to much CGI because they striked an awesome balance between CGI, animatronics and sceneography (especially the first movie, but the other two are still above average imho). On the other hand, many of my friends agree that The Hobbit already looked bad when it came out.

The only weird thing about Jurassic Park 2 was the overuse of the T-Rex head. But the rest never feels "Hollywoodky".

Seeing the changes and the trailer, I have little hope for Jurassic World to be a movie where you can immerse deeply and forget that you're watching a movie.

Trailer deliveries are ridiculous. Months of work is put into these trailers, revision after revision, late night after late night, only for the shot to be almost entirely discarded the day after delivery as the look and spectacle of it would look out of place in the context of the final edit. Studios want these trailers to look amazing so they put huge demands on the VFX artists responsible, so yeah inevitably the shots look rushed and obviously will get better before final release.

I thought the first Jurassic Park had little to none CGI, going with animatronics, puppets and on-stage vissual effects. Is there any article to read about where and how CGI was used in that movie?

Any shot where you can see the entire T-REX is CG AFAIK. FXGuide is always a great place for VFX related stuff: http://www.fxguide.com/featured/welcome-back-to-jurassic-par...
