"...Chuck Heston's remarkable performance..." - No offense, but isn't that an oxymoron?

With rare exception, whenever I think of Charltan Heston's acting an image of the world's biggest ham sandwich comes to mind, and how much better off we'd all be as vegitarians! ;^)

FTR, I don't like badly done FX either, but animatronics? With rare exception animatronics draw attention to themselves by the very nature of their unnaturalness. I agree that what Spielberg did in "Jaws" was inspired, necessity being the mother of invention as the saying goes, but occasionally, whenever one gets a near field glimpse of that animatronic shark it still looks REAL hokey. I'd wager that, if Steven were filming many of those same shots today, he'd employ cutting edge CGI to great effect. Note: My all time favorite Spielberg movies are his Jurassic Park series, which do employ some animatronics, but in those films the effects shots which work the best are the CGI shots.
