Jurassic Park Research Papers

Improved Essays
Jurassic Park is very groundbreaking in the sense of not only technology but also because of the impact it has had on people. This film is still being talked about and will always have that certain spark to it. I mean, right off the bat, when the velociraptor cage is being brought in, you are aware of every single noise. You can’t exactly see everything but, in a way, it leaves you wanting more; it’s the mystery of the unknown.
Basically, a group of experts is transported in by Hammond in an attempt to make the island look more interesting to potential investors. Obviously to begin with, all the experts are stunned when they see the first dinosaur (a Brachiosaurus) feeding from tall trees (and most people are when watching the film as well). Not only the experts, but we just sit there in awe of what we are viewing. We’ve never seen mechanical creatures/graphics like this. It seemed so real; so lifelike; as if they were actual, real dinosaurs. But that awe-aspiring effect soon wears off when the full scale of Hammonds plans start to come to full circle. When they realize that they are creating something and not thinking of the consequences.

Why? Well, again, it’s the effects. Many experts agree that the film’s effects, set the industry benchmark at the time and this has rarely been surpassed. The plot along with good-natured characters manages to show the real danger and emotion of human survival clashing with natural animal behavior, or, Mother Nature. Throughout the whole movie, you feel that chaos vibe. What they were doing was incredible but would they understand or even know how to control it? Just as Malcolm states “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, that they didn’t stop to think if they

    Imagine having to give a presentation in class on a topic that is completely new to you. Your research consists only of typing the topic into Google and copying down the definition that pops up, and that is it. When you go to give your presentation, you put up a slide with only that definition on it. How well do you think that presentation will go? Probably not real great because the context is missing.…

    No matter how many times you've seen the Mosasaurus jump out of the water and devour that great white shark in the trailer, it still takes you aback in the movie. The dinosaurs look amazing and though it's probably not as much of a technical breakthrough compared to the original Jurassic Park in '93, they still look pretty darn good. When Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt sit down to touch one of the wounded dinosaurs, you can actually see and hear their hands patting the animal. You can clearly see the light reflecting off the Triceratops' horns, the layers of eyelids when the Indominus Rex blinks and the blood dripping from its maw because it's just eaten a few people. It can be argued that the dinosaurs do not look scientifically accurate, but for what they were intended to look like, they look pretty darn real to me.…

    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).…

    In the new movie "Jurassic world" scientists created a hybrid dinosaur. A hybrid is an organism composed of different kinds of DNA, for example a mutt. The scientists added DNA from different organisms to create a tourist attraction like no other but they didn't realize there would be consequences. The "indominus Rex's" DNA is based off the DNA of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Tree frog genetics were then added to help it adjust to tropical climates however the indominus Rex picked up the ability to hide it's heat signature.…

    The novels "The Jurassic Park" and "The War of the Worlds" were written by Michael Crichton and H.G. Wells respectively. The former was published in 1990 and the latter in 1898. Both novels belong to the science fiction genre and deal with issues related to survival of mankind. Wells's novel might have influenced the film version of "The Jurassic Park (1993)" although there is almost a century difference between their creations. An interesting fact is that Steven Spielberg, the director of the film, was also the director of the film version of "The War of The Worlds" which was released much later in 2005.…

    Making movies (especially ones that can stand the test of time and really speak to people’s hearts) is a group effort. What you see on the screen is the result of so many people giving their all to the project. Even people that we don’t think of like the movie’s director of photography. His lighting is genius. Add to this the performances (I never realized Eric McCormack was such a fine singer!)…

    I believe the most intriguing aspect of this film was the visual art that was displayed. The animation in the film, the animals that were on Pandora, and the almost surreal visions of the planet changed the game on how to display a story on a screen. I think that this film is truly one of the most important in film history.…
