I mean in a lot of ways it was otherwise too. The film misses almost no opportunity to show how, if able to operate without regulation, a capitalist will recklessly endanger all human life in pursuit of establishing their money machine
Honestly I don't think it did a good job articulating that because it kind of gets lost in the "wow cool dino!"
spectacle and in amongst the hi-tech sci-fi stuff. Like I can't remember the book too clearly but I do remember it kind of lavishing on how cheaply made everything was and how it was falling apart even before the park opened and how shortsighted and naive the park designers were.
The movie kind of just established some of the "doing it wrong" stuff InGen did in building the park as conventions of its worldbuilding, like how they were relying on "cool hi-tech gadgets" that were fragile and needed electricity instead of just hiring a zoo engineer to tell them "yeah just make like a ditch and some concrete earthworks high enough that the large, mundane animal can't just reach out or something, don't waste money and power on a fragile little electric fence for no reason."
IDK I just rewatched a few weeks ago and it's hard to imagine them ringing the bell any louder. Every scene in the first act em references the fact that Hammond is reckless, cutting corners with safety and the park is cheaply made. Like the entire reason the scientists are there is because investors are spooked at how sloppy it all is.
They make it really obvious when their cars on rails get stopped by a power outage right in front of a an electric fence that is the only thing between them and the giant flightless bird.
