I've seen this argument enough to immediately tell from the context that he means Mad Max from Fury Road, despite the fact that I still haven't managed to see the movie.

Might have been accidentally cross-posted.

[up]I kept expecting a dance-off.

Also, In-Universe, I have to question the sanity of the parents. Divorce pending or not, you are still sending your kids to Jurassic Park. They couldn't have come up with someplace safer?

On a separate note, my younger brother insists that it's explicitly said in the movie that the I. rex ate her sister soon after hatching. I don't remember any such statements in said movie; do any of you do?

[up][up] Jurassic World has proven to have a much better safety record than Jurassic Park. It's been open to the public for years without any reputation-ruining incidents, unlike the Park which suffered a catastrophic failure with a huge body count before it even opened to the public. It's only after they had InGen make a Frankenstein's Monster-ish dinosaurian creature to serve as their newest attraction that things were doomed to go downhill at some point, which happened when the I. rex tricked everyone into believing that it had somehow climbed out of its paddock, hoping that somehow it would lead to the gate being opened so that it could bolt out through it (it did work, though I doubt I. rex knew exactly how the whole thing would unfold).

Not soon after hatching.

The two were raised separately but when it became clear that I Rex was growing up to be a wee bit maladjusted, they put the sisters together

It was not a good idea.

So... A few months or years later?

EDIT: And the wiki is claiming that the cannabilism happened before/soon after hatching (yeah, both versions are claimed to be what happened in the same article, and not in the sense of "there are conflicting in-universe accounts").

According to the Jurassic Park wiki, the I.rex ate her sibling right after she hatched. It's not outright stated in the film, but the opening scene does seem to imply it.

Since the next Jurassic films aren't going to take place in Isle Nublar or Sorna or whatever, and will deal with human/dino interacts, it's safe to say Jurassic World will mean Jurassic World.

So the sense that you keep thinking when you say "It's not Jurassic Park, it's Jurassic World" instead of the thing they were going for this film, where it's like Sea World or Disney World.

Going by what was said in the movie, Jurassic World's biggest safety concerns were heat strokes and the pachies breaking out of their area, which was treated as more of a regularly scheduled nuisance than a threat. The bigger issue is the ignored lack of proper evacuation plan. Even without Indy going crazy, there still should have been a proper evacuation plan for things like a hurricane or Rexie breaking loose, however unlikely that could have been.

And that really doesn't seem like something Masrani would have overlooked for so long, so I'm hoping there is a decent in-universe explanation for it.

My guess is that they did have an evacuation plan for hurricanes and such natural disasters... but it depended heavily on forewarning by advanced meteorological technology that wasn't available to InGen 20 years ago.

As for Rexie breaking loose... Well, I don't think that was a concern given the gigantic doors and walls of the paddock. Seems to me that they really took Hammond's "spare no expense" catchphrase literally when they designed Rexie's containment.

Ian Malcolm must be turning in his not-quite-grave. One of the examples he brings up in the book to support chaos theory is the futility of trying to invent long-term weather prediction.

How long is "long-term"? An advance warning of a few days is feasible in the US in modern times, from what I know. Hurricanes do not suddenly form from nothing, you know; the cloud formations would be noticed by satellite footage as they are gathering miles away from the coastline, days before they approach the mainland.

So he's just rolling across the carpet of his living room?

Burial by carpet usually doesn't come from a good death.

He said that we can't predict weather more than a week or two ahead of time, so a few days warning to predict a hurricane wouldn't count as long term, then. But they are pretty big, so it's easy to see that storm forming.

I like to think that before he died John Hammond shot Malcolm and rolled him up in the carpet.

Then fed the carpet to a particularly confused Brontosaur.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just throw the carpet in the river? Even though Malcolm might have just swum out of it. tongue

Then there would be no confused Brontosaur and thats the key to the whole plan.

I'm sure you can easily find that with Bing.
