Very entertaining like a big toy, and back then it was a big deal, the visuals were amazing, and of course being the 90s there were children that knew computers like second nature.
Now there’s so many kids who don’t know a thing about them, used as they are to quick apps.
Anyway, this is for entertainment value, and that’s all there is to it.
Alan and Ellie are working when John Hammond arrives on his helicopter, he’s been funding their work so they can’t just ignore him or send him on his way. He tells them that “I own an Island off the coast of Costa Rica” and that he set up “a kind of biological preserve” and now he’s got pressure because he has investors too and “they insist on outside opinions” so he wants the best in various areas. They’re not eager at first, but the power of money is huge.
We’re shown at this point where the troubles will begin, because we see a man planning something for the next day, to smuggle embryos out or something.
Malcolm insists on being called a Chaotician, because he constantly talks about the Chas Theory, and apparently has three kids and no wife.
On the island, the cars have “Jurassic Park” on the doors.
They don’t even look around, it’s only when Hammond stops the car that they see the gigantic dinosaurs for the first time. The dinosaurs have been cloned, from blood preserved in mosquitos, preserved in amber, and then computers and experts completed the dna code. They witness one hatching from its egg. Every animal in the park has been created a female so they can’t procreate.
Malcolm tries to tell the that “life will not be contained, life breaks free” meaning that “life finds a way” but they listen to him with scorn.
They created carnivores too, even raptors.
Ian insists that what they’re doing is dangerous. Hammond is shocked that they don’t share his enthusiasm, but Ellie is worried about the poisonous plants too.
Hammond’s two grandkids come to visit, making Alan uncomfortable because he doesn’t like kids (but Ellie wants one).
Well, the tour on the cars is not that great since not many dinosaurs stay on display, animals hide from humans and cars, is what they do.
The car doors are not locked though, so they get out and wander around, seeing a sick triceratops.
A big storm is coming, but it seems this is Dennis only chance to smuggle that stuff, so he goes on with it, he stops all security stuff so he can drive to reach the boat before it sails away.
It should be for 15, 18 minutes, and a lot can happen in 18 minutes. It’s night and it’s raining a lot; the cars aren’t moving of course, all power has been cut off, and they get close to the T-Rex. it attacks the car with the two children, Alan and Ian help them and the T-Rex eats the lawyer Donald who hid in a toilet.
it’s all rather pointless since Dennis is such a moron that he can’t drive in the rain, he has two accidents, and then he breaks his glasses and then he gets eaten by a dinosaur, the one with the fan-neck.
Alan saves the little girl, and then the little boy stuck inside the car high up on a tree.
Ellie and a security man find the injured Ian and look for Alan but then they have to escape because a T-Rex is running after them while they drive away.
At least it’s not raining anymore. Malcolm is brought to safety.
John still thinks of his next try, how he’ll fix this.
Alan finds dinosaurs eggs, because Ian was right, life will find a way, and the amphibian dna they used allowed the animals to chance sex and reproduce.
Many fences are down and animals are free.
They shut down the system and Ellie turns the power back on. Arnold is dead, she only found a severed arm.
The kid Timmy was still touching the fence when the power went back on, but Alan revives him with CPR. He brings the children where they should be safe, the dining area, but velociraptors are inside.
Young Lex is a hacker, she knows their system and she manages to reboot the system so phones work now, along with everything else.
They’re saved by the T-Rex who comes in and eats the raptors so they escape. Hammond drives there with Malcolm, they get in the car and they all go to the helicopter that will bring them out.
What about all the scientists and workers of the park? It’s just them in the helicopter, and I see only one before the credits arrive… it always bothers me that they don’t even spend a single word about the others, no explanation, nothing, they’re either all dead and nobody cares, or simply left to their destiny…
