I have to admit that the movie, Jurassic Park, scared me a little. I knew for a fact it was not possible for scientist to replicate dinosaurs. But the possibility lingered in the back of my mind. What if someday it is possible to recover enough DNA and genetics to generate dinosaurs back to life? I think it would be a great scientific accomplishment, but also a scary discovery for man kind. I am sure there are people out there in the world who could hack into the place where they are storing the "dinosaur" and take it for themselves. Of course they would do bad with it. This would be the most extreme bad situation. A good thing that might come out of the discovery is just knowing what the world was like millions of years ago. Having the technology to do that would create more opportunities for other impossible scientific discoveries.
I also have many other common sense questions about the movie that I will elaborate on. One question is: "How did the T-Rex get inside the building?" Let's just say I know the movie is not real, but I have to think how would it be like in real life. The dinosaur would never have been able just to walk in without destroying the building. Another question is "How were the people's physical strength greater than that of the dinosaurs?" Obviously the dinosaur is a lot bigger than man. I think man's strength was greater just for the effect of the movie. If Dr. Grant would not have been able to hold the door closed so the dinosaur could not get in before the system could be put back on and the doors locked, it would have just ruined the movie. The people would have died and that would be it. Going along with comparing human to dinosaur another question to ask is "Why did the people out run the dinosaurs?" Dinosaur strides are a large amount greater than humans. Again, I think this was so to not ruin the movie.
Overall, I think the movie was good, drama and content wise, not scientifically. It is interesting to see the possibilities of science. With the technology we have today, who knows what will be discovered in the future - maybe dinosaurs.
