I liked the concept but man those nerds literally couldn't think one step ahead

So many movies would only be a few minutes long if the characters were portrayed as being intelligent. Especially horror movies.

Jurassic Park: Hey, zoo's usually put the dangerous animals in huge pitts. Like lions are put in this massive open space that's sunk 200 feet down and surrounded by a wooden wall, with glass panes to look through. Think we should make the T-Rex paddock like that?

Fuck no! We're going to put this 20 foot tall beast inside a tiny paddock that's only secured by electrical wires. Controlled by an IT system of 1 guy. With no backup electric generator. Spared ALL the expenses!

Well the thing about Jurassic Park that is lost in the movie adaptation, is that John Hammond was a megalomaniac who (in my opinion) thought he was a god. He didn’t think anything he did was wrong nor that anything could go wrong for him.

The EndingHe and Ian Malcom get killed by a pack of compsognathus trying to get in the helicopter leaving the park.

Even though the characterisation is different, there's still plenty of clues in the movie showing that when he says he "spared no expense" he's full of shit.

Actually he isn’t lying about the expense. Chilean sea bass is on average $30USD per pound.
