MOVIE: "Jurassic Park"

The strange synchronicities of the world are often rather striking....

Soon after watching the 2015 film "Jurassic World", I turned on regular television, and found the 1993 film "Jurassic Park" playing on NBC!   This was the film that started the entire "Jurassic" series that is still going very strong to this day. 

So after watching "Jurassic World", I found myself easily going back to "Jurassic Park".   One thing I really appreciated about both films, is that good old Tyrannosaurus Rex turns out to be the unsung hero of both films.

The book is a thousand times better than the film.

MOVIE: "Jurassic World"

This evening I was very tired, so I rented the 2015 film "Jurassic World" and watched it while I relaxed.  It is a continuation of the famous "Jurassic Park" series as originally created from Micheal Crichton's famous sci-fi novel by the same name, perhaps one of the most popular works of sci-fi in modern history. 

In "Jurassic World" a dinosaur theme park is now fully realized, having been setup on an isolated island off the coast of Costa Rica.  All the dinosaurs in the park are genetic recreations of actual dinosaurs that roamed the earth millions of years ago.  But things start getting out of control when the park starts designing and creating their own special species that have no historical counterpart. 

As is so often the case in good science fiction, the movie is a commentary on genetics and genetic engineering, and how by messing with DNA, we may end up creating monsters that will kill us all.
