Just saw an article about how Jurassic World 2 has started filming, and I've been shaken into a realization.

Jurassic World would have been seriously improved - and, indeed, would have been a great and deeply hilarious movie - if there had been no dinosaur escape or action or horror or death or anything in it. Sure, put in a lot of false starts, to convince the audience that the dinosaurs are going to break out at any moment and start eating people, but never actually have it happen. Really hammer in the theme that people are bored with dinosaurs now because they're just weird animals that are totally capable of being held in captivity, by never having a dinosaur break out and start eating people to shake the fictional audience out of that boredom. Just have the movie be two hours of mundane slice of life poo poo with some dinosaurs in the background that keep almost breaking out but always having the problem caught in time by the wacky but competent Jurassic World staff. It'd be the greatest joke ever played on audiences in Hollywood history.

I don't know much about it (what I've heard was mostly negative), but there was a game called Operation Genesis that was literally this concept.

Jurassic Park is more about industrial diasters than scientific diasters, despite Micheal Criton's dim awareness. The plot is that the rich gently caress is too cheap to run his own zoo. Turning the terror into an investment not returning an appropreate level of profits is pretty funny but its not what most of the audience is expecting. Spielburg fashioned a tense intresting film and a sequel is expected to be similar but better because what the hell else should people expect. Abandoning the qualities of the first film intentionally doesn't win you any points. Ask the Jaws sequels for further details.

The thing is, I can see his point. It would've been interesting to see a Jurassic Park where poo poo worked. The thing is, though, Jurassic Park is first-and-foremost a We Tampered In God's Domain property. One way or another, the park must fail, because that's why we're there. Interesting is just interesting.

JW had a clever twist to to things. We're presented with what should be considered an impossibility: a successful Jurassic Park. Turns out, you can totally tamper in God's domain, as long as you do it right. Control isn't an illusion like Ellie says, control is something you have to plan and constantly maintain. It's not impossible or inevitable, it's just really really hard. It's when the Park owners get too far out ahead of their skis - say, injecting human raptor DNA into a T-Rex with a bunch of other things - do things begin to fail.
