Michael Crichton wrote the original “Jurassic Park” and Steven Spielberg captivated us with the 1993 Blockbuster that has turned into an impeccable franchise (Anderson, 2015). At ten years old, I merely went to see the movie a dozen times before my parents no longer would give into my paleontology obsession. “No one’s impressed by a dinosaur anymore,” are the lines expressed by park manager, Claire, in “Jurassic World” (Anderson, 2015). The franchise has spawned a mega-brand that has like any other, experienced highs and lows. Did I mention “Jurassic World” was just named the #3 highest-grossing film of all time, by Newsday (2015).…

Going back to the title the dinosaur can be a symbol of extinction or bringing the past into the present.

Third, chaos begins to echo throughout the Park, and it's not only when Dr. Malcolm discusses the chaos theory, the entire book is based on the chaos theory. “In Malcolm's view, complex systems have an underlying order, and simple systems can produce complex behavior” (Shmoop). Jurassic Park fails because John Hammond and his team fail to account for the chaos inherited in their enterprise, which they imagine as a simple system designed to rake in the bucks. John Hammond believes Jurassic Park is simple and therefore controllable, but Malcolm argues that "unpredictability is built into our daily lives" and so the "dream of total control" promised by science must die (Crichton 206). That doesn't mean that science can't predict or control…

Obviously, Star Wars has completely overshadowed anything and everything else that’s out there at the moment – but from the big budget summer spectaculars to the lesser-appreciated indie flicks, there was a lot to love throughout the year. And, a lot to hate, as well… First things first, plenty of hard-hitting records were set – possibly none more impressive than the those established by Jurassic World. Now, before you laugh even more than you probably already did, bare in mind that it was nearly impossible for anyone to predict the vast amount of carnage the return of the dinosaurs would unleash. Oh, and it’s only the third highest grossing movie…
