#To try to find dinosaurs on isla sorna

[twelvebooksstuff]

This post and the tags make much a fantastic point! The intwntal lack of information causes everyone to be confused…except Malcolm who knows how this is going to end, from prior experience!

Love how fucking no one in The Lost World has any idea what is going on. They don’t understand how dinosaurs work. They don’t understand how InGen works. They don’t generally understand how being outside or using technology work either.

[tobiasdrake]

It's still amazing to me that Dominion finally noticed that they forgot about Dodgson twenty years ago.

Nedry: DODGSON!!! WE GOT DODGSON HERE!!! See? Nobody cares.

And for twenty years, nobody did. He fucked right off out of the franchise after the first movie.

Dodgson was the guy paying off Nedry to steal dinosaur embryos. That was their whole scheme. Nedry was just supposed to grab up some embryos in the Barbasol can, get them to Dodgson's guy at the dock, and then get back and keep going like nothing happened.

Just a little bit of corporate espionage between rivals so that Biosyn could get in on the dino-engineering game.

Crichton then brought him back as an antagonist for The Lost World. Still trying to get his hands on something he can reverse-engineer, Dodgson makes an expedition to Isla Sorna in person so he can steal T-Rex eggs.

This is how the baby T-Rex and parent Rexes were originally involved in the story. The film of The Lost World takes even more tremendous departures from the novel than Jurassic Park did.

Dodgson is a shameless patent thief. That's his entire deal. He has a philosophy for how he conducts his business that he explains as:

"I have my I own version of the scientific method. I call it focused research development. If only a few ideas are going to be good, why try to find them yourself? It's too hard. Let other people find them - let them take the risk - let them go for the so-called glory. I'd rather wait, and develop ideas that already show promise. Take what's good, and make it better. Or at least, make it different enough so that I can patent it. And then I own it. Then, it's mine."

He just finds things that work and takes them for his own, so he can put his name on them and sell them. A capitalist in the truest sense. Elon Musk would be proud.

In Dominion he's, hahahahahaha, he's trying to destroy the world economy with an army of super-locusts so he can monopolize grain production. Hahahahahahahaha. They made him Jurassic Lex Luthor to justify the Paleo-Avengers coming together to save the world. Completely out of ideas.

Whereas in Lost World, he's just. He's trying again. He goes to Isla Sorna to steal dinosaur eggs, filling the role that the movie uses Hammond's nephew and the InGen site in California for. Dodgson and his men are the ones causing problems on Isla Sorna, up until Sarah Harding fucking murders him by feeding him to a motherfucking T-Rex on purpose. Because she is a badass. Do not fuck with Sarah Harding.

hello yes I would love to hear about the ye zun time travel and Jurassic park stories

Thank you for asking! I'm very happy to talk more about my WIPs.

I answered the Ye Zun one once already. I hope you don't mind if I just attempt to link to it (but who knows if I can figure out how to do that on mobile). Shortly, it's post-canon Ye Zun all made up with Shen Wei who ends up back in time, but he ends up back in the pillar. He still decides to fix things for Shen Wei, even if it takes a while. So when Shen Wei eventually wakes up everything will be fine (and he'll have no reason to be angry at Ye Zun).

Oh, I've only now noticed I've listed the same Jurassic Park one twice. Only one story actually.

Weilan Jurassic Park

About a year ago I spent some time quite sick and I watched all of the Jurassic Park movies. And then had some crossover thoughts. This whole thing is all from that time, so not necessarily the most coherent of things, considering the whole being sick while writing it thing.

So it's basically an adventure story, post-canon weilan get accidentally transported to Isla Sorna (from Haixing yes, inter planetary or dimensional portaling) around about Jurassic Park 3, with that kid Eric who was stuck there. Eventually they should get back to Dixing. Actually they might have been on the island for four years, seeing as I had them arrive in time to watch the people who were there during the second movie... (They probably shouldn't be there for four years. I was very confused about the timeline I believe.)

It's all very... Well, let me just quote a bit from what I've written.

"And Zhao Yunlan keeps doing stupid things (according to Shen Wei) like feeding the little dinosaurs. Look, they're cute. Like cats. Shen Wei points out they're also dangerous. ("Just like cats!") They find out the things have a venomous bite by accident? Or by seeing what happens to something they hunt down? Or well, Zhao Yunlan gets a little bit bitten, and thankfully it's just a little bit paralytic so everything's fine. Look, it didn't mean to do it and Shen Wei doesn't need to get angry at the little things. Look at how cute they are."

Also this gem of... something.

"Also, it probably doesn't take too long for Eric to figure out they're together. Hell, it's in the way they look at each other. And they're really not trying to hide it all that much, let's be honest. He doesn't say anything about it though. He's pretty sure he doesn't mind. Honestly, why would he, there's a lot better things to worry about. Like sure, he's stuck with gay aliens on an island full of dinosaurs, and them being gay is what he's going to worry about, yeah, he doesn't think so."

Anyway, adventure! Dinosaurs! Very little plot to speak of. Weilan just wants to get home, preferably before anyone gets eaten by dinosaurs.

Okay jurassic Park was my all time favourite series as a child (and is still a huge hyperfixation), but as a child JP3 was my all time favourite for some reason. But carrying on;

Headcanon that after 8 and a half weeks spent on isla sorna, after he was rescued, Eric Kirby turned into a total adrenaline junkie.

Of course, nothing compares to the feeling of running away from velociraptors, spinos, rexes, but he does his best to replicate the feeling.

Adrenaline can keep you alive even when your body is on the brink of exhaustion. How many times had Eric had to start running when out on a supply run? Or if he was asleep and the slightest noise made him wake up, afraid that there was a dinosaur outside trying to get in? Add sleep deprivation onto malnutrition, and adrenaline is a pretty handy friend to have.

In my hc, when he was finally home safe, he was more afraid of the absence of adrenaline than having it. So he started to do things to make his heart race. He picked fights, climbed the highest trees he could find, jumped out of his window in the middle of the night and raced through the streets, pretending there was a pack of velociraptors after him, (which worked a little too well, and an early worker found him crouched behind a dumpster at 6am having a PTSD attack). Even petty theft once, to have the security guard chase him. (Never again, his mom started crying. But he was desperate).

Anyway, Billy who was still in contact with the kirbys, heard all about it. His solution? Rock climbing. Base jumping. Bungee jumping. Anything, you name it. And when Eric is feeling a bit too ansty in the middle of the night, Billy will be there with his motorcycle, to take him on a joyride. It normally helps when Billy practically flies down residential streets. Eric argued that yeah, motorways are good in theory, but there are less things to dodge, which Billy just nodded to while thinking 'fuck this Kid needs a new therapist'.

(When Eric turns sixteen, Billy will buy him a dirt bike. And Amanda and Paul will drop to their knees in anguish, because that look in their sons eyes is downright devious).

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

Four years after "Jurassic Park", John Hammond loses control of his company to his nephew, Peter Ludlow. On the verge of bankruptcy, Ludlow plans to exploit dinosaurs from InGen's second island, Isla Sorna, with plans for a new dinosaur theme park in San Diego. Hammond sneds a team, led by Ian Malcom, to the island to document the dinosaurs and encourage non-interference. The two groups eventually come into conflict.

If you want to watch the movie for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

Four years after Jurassic Park, a rich British couple went on vacation on Isla Sorna, 87 miles from Isla Nublar. The daughter wanders into the wilderness and is attacked by Compsognathus.

The lawsuit against InGen leads to John Hammond resigning as CEO. His nephew, Peter Ludlow, takes over the company. Meanwhile, mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm reveals to the media that InGen is cloning dinosaurs. He can't support his claims because InGen will sue him.

Hammond asks Malcolm for help. InGen has another island, Isla Sorna, where they did the original research and made the animals. A hurricane forced the dinosaurs to be released into the wild. Ludlow convinces InGen's investors that a dinosaur theme park is a good idea. He decides to capture several animals and bring them to San Diego, where InGen is finishing construction on an abandoned Jurassic Park stadium. Hammond is trying to stop this. If he gathers experts to document the dinosaurs, he may get enough support to save them from captivity. Malcom first says no, but then learns that his girlfriend, paleontologist Dr. Sarah Harding, is already on the island. He reluctantly agrees to go to rescue Sarah. As he prepares for the trip, Ian is visited by his daughter, Kelly Curtis.

The rest of Hammond's team is made up of engineer Eddie Carr and wildlife documentarian Nick Van Owen. Ian meets his daughter Kelly in the garage. The two talk about their lives, but Kelly is unsure about her father going to Isla Sorna, which causes a rift. They arrive by boat and find Sarah in the wilderness. After escaping a herd of stegosaurus, the group returns to their camp and finds Kelly, who secretly stowed away on the trailer. Ian tries to contact the boat, but InGen has sent a second team to the island to hunt down the dinosaurs.

The InGen Hunters arrive with all-terrain vehicles and equipment, carried by helicopters. Roland Tembo and his hunting partner Ajay Sidhu are leading the InGen team. They came to the island to hunt a male Tyrannosaurus. Also on the team is paleontologist Dr. Robert Burke and Ludlow, who is in charge of the mission.

By nightfall, the InGen team had captured several dinosaurs. Roland and Ajay find a baby Rex nest and capture it to use as bait for the adults. As Peter prepares to stream to the InGen board room, Nick says that Ludlow has arrived and is capturing the animals. Nick must free them because Hammond wants it.

Nick is later revealed to be a member of Earth First!, a radical environmental group that engages in sabotage. Nick and Sarah sneak into the camp and free the dinosaurs. They also cut the fuel lines of the InGen vehicles. In the chaos, cars explode, setting off fires that spread through the camp. Pachycephalosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops destroy tents and injure people while they and the other dinosaurs escape. A burning vehicle is thrown into the air and headed for a tree where Roland and Ajay are standing. They jump to safety.

Nick frees the chained infant Tyrannosaur and brings it back to the trailer to fix its broken leg. Kelly gets excited when she hears the baby cry, so Ian takes her to the "high hide", a platform in the trees.

As Eddie and Kelly go up the high hide, Ian goes back to the trailer just before the dinosaur parents come to look for their baby. Sarah returns the infant to its parents, who attack the double-trailer because the infant is injured. The adults leave after forcing the trailer over a cliff with Ian, Nick, and Sarah inside. Eddie drives the SUV to the trailer and helps, leaving Kelly on the high hide. He ties a rope to a tree and throws it to Ian, Sarah, and Nick. Eddie hooks the SUV to the trailer and tries to pull it back. As he tries to save the trio, the T-Rex parents return and kill Eddie.

The trailer falls off the cliff, but the trio survives by holding the rope Eddie tied to the tree. The Hunters help them climb back up.

Ian, Sarah, Nick, and Kelly join the rival Hunters after their vehicles and communication equipment are destroyed. Sarah and Burke say the T-Rexes destroyed the trailers because they moved their infant into the camp and now feel the need to defend it. They have to go to the abandoned building to call for help. Peter says the area is close to a Velociraptor nesting site. Sarah says the T-Rexes will follow them as long as they think the group is a threat to the infant.

While trekking, Dieter Stark leaves the group to use the bathroom and gets lost. His friend Carter is listening to headphones and does not hear Dieter. Dieter is killed by a pack of Compsognathus while wandering.

The Tyrannosaurus duo found the camp at night. Carter screams, and everyone panics. Roland tries to shoot the male Tyrannosaurus, but he's missing the bullets. Nick stole them to stop him. He uses a tranquilizer gun instead. The female T-Rex pursues the hunters, steps on Carter, and traps the others behind a waterfall. Burke sees a snake and runs into the jaws of the Rex, who eats him. It was a harmless milk snake. The hunters travel through tall grass after losing the T-Rex. Ajay tries to warn them, but they don't listen and are killed by Velociraptors.

Ian and his group make it through the field and run to the operations building, while the raptors hunt the hunters. Nick goes into the building and calls for help while Ian, Sarah, and Kelly fight off three raptors. The group reunites and boards a helicopter.

On the flight out, they see Roland has taken the male Tyrannosaur Buck, which is being prepared for the journey to the mainland. Ludlow orders his men to find the infant and fly it to San Diego.

InGen invites investors and reporters to watch the T-Rex arrive. The ship crashes into the dock. Security guards board the ship and find the crew dead. A guard opens the cargo door to look for survivors. Ian says not to open the hold, so the T-Rex leaves the cargo bay and heads into San Diego. Malcom tells Peter, "Now you're John Hammond."

Ian and Sarah ask Ludlow where the infant is. He says the infant was flown in by plane and is at the Jurassic Park amphitheater. They get the infant from the amphitheater while the adult causes chaos in the city.

Ian and Sarah lure the male Tyrannosaur with the infant and take it to the ship. Ludlow orders the police to shoot the adult, then follows the couple onto the ship. They escape the ship, and Peter goes into the cargo hold alone to look for the infant. The infant's father returns and berates Peter for tampering with his child. Ludlow tries to run away, but the angry parent bites him and puts him back. Then, the infant kills it. Sarah shoots the T-Rex with a tranquilizer dart as Malcolm closes the cargo hold door.

The next morning, Ian, Sarah, and Kelly watch a news report on TV about the dinosaurs' return to Isla Sorna. John Hammond says the island should be kept isolated for thte dinosaurs. The dinosaurs need to be alone to survive. He also quotes Malcolm: "Life finds a way." The last scene shows the T-Rex couple with their baby, the stegosaurus herd on the move with their young, and a flock of pteranodons flying in and landing on a tree, ending the film.

Hi, how are you? Is everything good with you? I saw your arts and they are really awesome! First of all, congratulations on reaching 300 followers. You deserve it because your arts is so beautiful and wonderful 💖 Since you're accepting art requests, what do you think about drawing the 3 villains from my fanfic?

Last year, I wrote a Jurassic Park III fanfic, where the story takes place in an alternate universe, 5 years after the events of the movie Jurassic Park to be more precise, where the now famous paleontologist Alan Grant and his wife, paleobotanist Ellie Sattler, are convinced by a couple of billionaires to carry out a rescue mission on Isla Sorna, as their son, Alex, and his friends got lost on that island after the plane they were taking off in crashed.

Surrounded by extremely dangerous dinosaurs, Alan, Ellie and a group of eight mercenaries try to find the teenagers and rescue them. However, they are not the only ones on that dinosaur-infested island, as InGen's rival, Biosyn, has sent Lewis Dodgson, Howard King and George Baselton to steal all of InGen's research and dinosaur eggs.

Since you draw OCs only for your mutuals, how about drawing the 3 villains of my story? No, they are not my OCs, they are actually characters from the Jurassic Park franchise, where Lewis Dodgson appeared in Jurassic Park and Jurassic World: Dominion. Also, he is the main villain of Michael Crichton's book The Lost World alongside Howard King and George Baselton.

I don't know if you draw characters from any fandom, but if you do, I really want you to draw these villains from the Jurassic Park franchise, if you don't mind ☺️

I imagined Lewis Dodgson being literally the same Lewis Dodgson who appeared in Jurassic Park (1993), but I imagined him being blond like his counterpart in the books.

As for George Baselton, I imagined him being based on the actor Idris Elba.

Yes, in my fanfic George is black, because in Michael Crichton's The Lost World, he is literally Dr. Robert Burke from The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997).

Yeah, since George never existed in the movies, the screenwriter had the idea of ​​creating a character inspired by him for the second movie in the franchise, but since I didn't want another very hairy and bearded guy with glasses and a hat, I imagined him being a black guy.

As for Howard King, I imagined him being based on the actor Matthew Broderick, since Howard is a pretty scared guy and I saw that this actor fits perfectly with this character lol

And that's all I want you to draw, if you don't mind :) I hope you have fun drawing the 3 villains from my favorite franchise ❤️ Thank you so much for the opportunity again and I truly hope you enjoy the art you make ☺️

But if you don't want to make this art for me, that's okay, I won't be sad :)

Hiya, thanks for your interest in my lil celebration, but I won’t be able to draw this for my event, having to create a character -even based on the actors you sent- is a big undertaking, especially since I’m not familiar with this fandom, and though the characters exist in the books it’d still be like creating an Oc.

I don’t have commissions open at the moment ~ tho there are plenty of other wonderful artists on here that do ~ but, when I do start taking them I would be happy to discuss working on something for you at later date if you’re still interested. :)

Thank you again for submitting an ask, I’m sorry I can’t do it but I appreciate the support ❤︎

Theories Are Just Fantasies | The Lost World (Jurassic Park #2)

RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

💡 REVIEW

Admittedly it's been around a year since I last found myself adventuring through Crichton's fictional world, so I wasn't super fresh on the details of what happens in Jurassic Park. That's okay, though; the second installment is written well enough to stand alone. It's enhanced by your knowledge of the events in Jurassic Park but you can absolutely read it by itself and still enjoy the hell out of it.

Spoilers below. Please keep spoilers out of the comments!

😍 WHAT I LIKED

This was an incredibly quick read (a couple of hours on a flight + an hour or two, cumulatively, in the car back and forth while visiting family) and was gripping from start to finish. I didn't find myself glossing over paragraphs like I sometimes do with science fiction; indeed, I almost hesitate to label this sci-fi because it's so character driven and spends very little time on the intricacies of InGen's meddling, or Dodgson's ultimate plan, or Malcolm's chaos theory. I would've liked to read more into that, honestly.

The book's pacing is breakneck; once you start, you won't want to stop. Even the setup of the dilemma (Levine returning to Costa Rica and Malcom & Co. following to save him) seems fun and fast-paced as we unravel the mystery of what's happening despite already knowing what's going down (seriously, how does Crichton pull that off?) on Isla Sorna. We're invested in the characters from the jump and understand what's at stake--and feel the tension almost immediately.

Also, Ian Malcolm on morphine is an absolute treasure.

💩 WHAT I DISLIKED

Having the perspective of younger children again (a boy, Arby, and a girl, Kelly) helped make the science feel a little more accessible as a layman; however, having similar players to the first novel (two male scientists, a male bodyguard-type, a female scientist, and two kiddos) made this iteration feel very similar to the first book in a not-great way. I also cringed a bit at Sarah's girl power quips throughout the book (for example: "Absence of proof is not proof of absence. All your life, other people will try to take your accomplishments away from you. Don't you take it away from yourself.") as they felt a little forced and a little weird coming from a male author. Having Dodgson return as the smarmy, no-good villain was...okay, but it was the same motivation as the first book, and I'm glad that he was bait for the Rex babies.

On that note, the dinosaurs involved are...one note. We've got the typical flashy Velociraptors, the annoying (and dino-rabies-ridden) Compys, several herbivore species, a couple of nesting T-Rexes, and a couple of chameleon Carnotauruses. The interactions between our heroes and these animals are always high octane, which is fun for a screenplay but not so much for a book, and I found myself wanting to know more about the animals and how they got there, even though a LOT of the book is centered around learning about their behaviors and way of life. At one point there is even a moment when a blood sample is taken--and nothing really came of it. I WANT MORE DINO SCIENCE DAMMIT.

In conclusion, this was a fine, fun read that got me through a very boring pair of flights and was familiar enough that one could zoom through it without paying too close attention and still come out on the other side feeling like they hadn't missed anything. It is my understanding that this is the only sequel Crichton had ever written for any of his works, and I can definitely see why he would be hesitant to give it another shot. It's a good popcorn book: it wouldn't be satisfying enough to serve as a full meal, but it's great as a snack or a quick bite in-between more full plates.

#if it's an island big enough to sustain TITANOSAURS someone's gonna see it#Nublar and Sorna went unnoticed for ten years in the nineties#and then the secret was out and all sorts of stuff had to happen#and those are in the PACIFIC#the biggest ocean#you're going to BARBADOS?

In addition to dinosaurs supposedly becoming lackluster in the public eye, this was the second of the three main issues I have with the plot as the trailer has laid out so far.

I'm assuming it's not Barbados proper, but near it? Regardless, yes, if there's an island large enough to support massive sauropods and it is in or around the Caribbean (and has either had prior human habitation given the ruins in which the Quetz built its nest or that was a deliberate habitat set up for it), I find it incredibly hard to believe no one has tried to develop the land as a resort in the years since. And if it was InGen - or Masrani Global later on - blocking such development, I'm sure there would have been an investigation.

And I have to believe someone had to reboot the facility recently. I have trouble believing all of those species were running free in the forty years since and that neither the Quetz or Mosa have ventured beyond it at all.

Which leads me to my third main issue: How many 'secret facilities' are we going to have.

Jurassic Park leads us to believe that they're only cloning dinosaurs on Isla Nublar.

The Lost World reveals they actually started the whole thing on Isla Sorna ("the factory floor" as Hammond calls it) and moved the animals to Nublar from there. That's fine, not a huge upset and allows for a new adventure when Nublar's fate wasn't clear.

Fallen Kingdom reveals that actually, the first dinosaurs were cloned in the labs beneath Lockwood Manor. Okay, a little odd, but not too disruptive. And then they presumably moved to Sorna-

But wait! Now Rebirth is giving us yet another facility that presumably predates Sorna.

Still trying to remain cautiously optimistic, but it seems odd that this was the route they went with the new island.

So the premise of this movie is as such:

All the big dinosaurs on the mainland found life too difficult and have mostly disappeared.

However, there's a lost island in the Caribbean--a highly-populated, very-traveled region of the world--where a bunch of big dinosaurs have thrived for forty years without discovery or supervision, thanks to being watched over by "the government" (very vague). That's ten political administrations, mind you.

These dinosaurs--or, creatures, rather, because there are Quetzes and a Mosasaurus--have all been contained here and never left. Maybe the latter two just moved here, or maybe someone recently rebooted the facility, but from all that we've heard, this has just been up and running for the past forty years without anyone noticing or meddling. InGen never cleaned up shop here. Masrani didn't know about it. A trio of Spinosauruses have just been flourishing and bonding with their Mosasaurus buddy while eating...what, exactly? Fish? Lots of fish?

And no fishermen have ventured here?

This is the plot we're running with in this movie? This is what they came up with?

Oh, right. Also, there's apparently some giant mutant failure of an experiment that has also been kicking around for forty years. Forty years of hurricanes and other dinosaurs and tides and diseases and there's something that's still shambling around, being a giant mutant creature that was supposed to be flushed down the toilet because it was ugly.

This is our plot? People are excited for this?

Dr. Ian Malcolm

Born: June 29th, 1955

Significant other: Unknown status. Several ex-wives

Children: Kelly Curtis Malcolm + four other unnamed children

Occupation: Chaotician

Portrayed by: Jeff Goldblum

Along with Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler, Ian was invited by John Hammond to Isla Nublar as one of the specialists who was to sign off on the park, declaring it safe and ready to open for the public. Ian, however, had previously told Hammond of his many concerns regarding the park and believed that Hammond had invited him in order to try and prove him wrong.

Although continuing to express his concerns, he joined Alan and Ellie on the park tour along with lawyer Donald Gennaro and Hammond's grandchildren Lex and Tim. During this tour, the group came across a sick triceratops and abandoned the vehicles. Upon the arrival of a tropical storm the group, save Ellie, returned to the tour cars and began their journey back to the visitor centre.

While this was happening Dennis Nedry, the parks computer specialist and program designer, shut down the security systems in order to smuggle embryos out to a Biosyn operative. Due to the shut down, the tour behicles came to a stop outside the T-Rex paddock and the Rex was able to escape her enclosure due to the fences being unpowered.

The Rex attacked the car containing Lex and Tim, the same car that Gennaro had abandoned. In an effort to rescue the children, Ian was wounded by the Rex and knocked unconscious. He was later found by Ellie and game warden Robert Muldoon, and returned to the visitor centre where he received what minimal treatment that he could. When it was decided that they would completely shut down the parks remaining systems, Hammond ordered everyone to the emergency bunker while it was rebooted. It was in this emergency bunker that Ian spent the remainder of his time on the island until they were able to contact the mainland and have a helicopter sent for them.

After the incident on the island, things took a bad turn for Ian. After trying to go public with what had happened, Ian was discredited by Hammond's nephew Peter Ludlow. Ludlow went to great lengths to make Ian appear insane which resulted in Ian losing his university tenure. His book only made matters worse as it was a direct violation of the non-disclose agreement he had signed after leaving the island. However, despite this, he managed to establish a relationship with Sarah Harding, an accomplished paleontologist.

Four years after the events on Nublar, Ian was contacted by Hammond who asked him to document the remaining dinosaurs living on Isla Sorna, Site B. Ian adamantly refused until he learned that Hammond had also contacted Sarah and that she was already on the island. Declaring it now a rescue mission, Ian began working with a team to prep for a journey to Sorna. It was during this time that his daughter Kelly was left in his care by her mother and, not wanting to be left behind, stowed away in the trailer.

After finding Sarah on the island, and discovering that Kelly had stowed away, his priority became removing the ones he loved from the island, fearing what would happen to them. The group, however, saw the arrival of another InGen group and discovered that Ludlow was rounding up dinosaurs for transport to the mainland so that they could appear in Jurassic Park San Diego. While he stayed in the trailer to contact a nearby boat, Sarah and fellow team member Nick Van Own went to free the captured dinosaurs and ended up bringing an injured baby T-Rex back to the trailer. This attracted the parents of the baby to the trailers and they attack the group, pushing the trailers off of the cliff and killing Eddie Carr. They are rescued by the InGen group who also found Kelly in the high-hide where Ian had hid her. The two teams teamed up to access an abandoned facility in the islands centre in order to contact the mainland.

After much difficulty Ian, Sarah, and Kelly reach the facility but are attacked by raptors. After fighting them off, they ran for the helicopter that had been called by Nick who had reached the facility before them. As they flew from the island, they saw the mother T-Rex sedated and loaded for transport to the mainland.

After reaching the mainland Ian and Sarah made their way to the docks to try and stop the arrival of the ship carrying the Rex. However they could not contact the ship due to all the crew members having been killed during the journey. The ship crashed into the dock releasing the Rex onto the San Diego streets. Realising that she was looking for her baby who was also in San Diego, Ian and Sarah learn from Ludlow that the baby was being held at the San Diego attraction. They go and retrieve the baby, using it to lure the mother Rex back to the boat and into the cargo hold before the authorities can kill her. Ludlow is killed by the baby T-Rex in the cargo hold. The ship is then escorted back to Isla Sorna where the Rex family live in peace.

Many years later, after the fall of Jurassic World and just before the imminent destruction of Isla Nublar by Mt Sibu, Ian appeared before the senate declaring his belief that the volcano eruption was a way of nature correcting itself, and that the remaining dinosaurs should be left to go extinct. After they were rescued and released onto the mainland, he appeared before the senate again declaring "welcome to Jurassic World."

By the events of Dominion, he is working as an in house philosopher for Biosyn. Sometime between the events of Isla Sorna and working for Biosyn, he had two more children.

Alan and Ellie bios coming soon

John Hammond is sure that Jurassic Park is ready to host its first guests, Robert Muldoon disagrees with this sentiment wholeheartedly especially after the worker incident. He advocates the experts be brought in so that maybe John will finally do the right thing. 

Meanwhile Ian Malcolm has always preached that a system at the Edge of Chaos is in constant flux and one little tip in either direction of Order or Chaos will bring an entire system crashing to it knees. Little does he know he's about witness this concept playout right in front of him.

The New Normal

Change is a funny thing, sometimes you end up in the aftermath of a crisis and learn more about yourself than you thought you would. It's easier to deal with together than alone.

After the events of Jurassic Park Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant find they can’t abandon Ian Malcolm to recover from his injuries alone. They accompany him home to Texas as they deal with the trauma of their experiences. Nothing will be the same and the mistakes of the past loom large over everyone.

Familiar Path, Different Place

"We must consider the idea that with extinction being untestable and unsuitable for experimentation. It may not be a construct of science at all but instead an unexplainable act of the failure of other systems.” - Ian Malcolm

After Ingen destroyed his reputation Ian Malcolm was content to put the 1993 incident behind him. The universe, and Sarah Harding have other ideas though. Having no choice but to traverse the lost world of Jurassic Park's Site B, Ian must come face to face with his deepest fears.

Beautiful and Vulnerable 

In the aftermath of San Diego the survivors of the original incident in '93 are brought together once more. Ellie and Alan desperately want to be able to trust Ian again but things won't be as easy as they were the first time, everyone has been keeping secrets that they need to address. The shadow of the park still looms heavily over them all. Everything happens for a reason though and now that the survivors are together again it won't be so easy to pull them back apart.

While the world is coming to terms with Ingen's dinosaurs, Henry Wu will not settle for this being the end of the line for his work. With a legal hearing in the way of what will be done with Ingen's assets the genetics team is racing against the clock, yet soon they'll discover an unexpected ally in Simon Masrani.

Crossing The Rubicon

In 1999 under the supervision of Ingen's new benefactor, Masrani Global, Operation Trailhead is deployed. A handful of employees of the original park and a their new trainees are sent to Isla Sorna to reclaim the Island holdings and protect the animals that live there.

Illusion of Control 

After refusing to willfully aid the Kirby family in helping to locate their missing son, the Survivors of the Jurassic Park incident find themselves kidnapped and brought to Isla Sorna. To make matters worse they aren't the only people on the island who shouldn't be there as Lewis Dodgson has sent his operatives to try and retrieve Genetic stock from the animals on the island. They all just so happen to arrive at the same time as Henry Wu's wayward Spinosaurus has escaped into the ecosystem and She intends to carve her niche into the biosphere no matter who or what gets in her way.

SPOILERS- JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION

I'm honestly really happy with the way things ended! While it may be the last movie of the franchise, I really think with the way things ended- there's a possibility to make one more installment that correlates with jurassic park 3.

I also love how they tied in the whole aspect of biosyn and dodgson from the books! In the first book they really tell you what biosyn is really about- in the movies they never really did that until now.

Now I'll have to rewatch it again- but I believe that biosyn only saved the dinosaurs from isla nublar. I get that the eruption only happened on that island- but if their plan was to take the dinosaurs anyways, why didn't they take any of the dinosaurs off isla sorna? If they wanted all the dinosaurs in one spot- why not take the others. Although- I wouldn't want to be the one trying to track down a spinosaurus.

The one thing I don't like- was the introduction of Maisie in Jurrasic World 2. You find out that she wasn't just a clone persay in Dominion but was made by her own mother- Charlotte. You get the background of Charlotte- how she was working on the island back when the first jurassic park took place. She's never mentioned in the book- so in turn, having someone like Charlotte in the timeline doesn't really make sense. In the first movie you never even hear of her or her work. Unless for some reason she was kept a secret- she should've been integrated into the movies better.

If I think of anything else I'll be sure to add on! And if anyone has any input feel free to add on as well!

No worries, you’re good!! I literally just saw this response (love when my notifications don’t work correctly 🙃) but either way, you’re good!

Yes!!! Wu and Muldoon’s care for the raptors is why the wild ones on Nublar turn out okay!! They are well adjusted because of both of them, but I’m going to give more credit to Wu because he’s probably more involved. He does see them as his magnificent creations and accordingly treats them well, but knows their limits too (like advocating for the safer versions). He never priotizes the dinosaurs over the safety of the people on the island, and more or less the second he is given the chance to jump ship to team Alan Grant (so to speak) he does.

Oh it totally is, it’s been the last five or so years of his life at the start of the story. And Hammond RECRUITED HIM AFTER HIS MENTOR’S FUNERAL WHILE WU WAS IN OBVIOUS DISTRESS. Book!Hammond really is the worst!! Oh he definitely was professionally groomed (and yeah, Wu definitely *should* fit the redemption tropes for most people yet they don’t give him that grace, especially when they often do for worse characters who are white men). I’d go so far as to say in the book he’s a deconstruction of the mad scientist trope!!!!

Yeah, that makes sense!! People were DEFINITELY manipulating him up until Dominion when he finally sees what’s going on. I do think that the way the World movie’s characterize him is a big factor in his perception, because they TRY to frame him as the mad scientist up until Dominion imo, playing up the more mad scientist angles until they decided not to.

Wu’s definitely a victim in so many ways, and has been forced into some awful situations. I wish they never really leaned into the mad scientist angle in the films, I LOVE how he’s written to deconstruct all of that in the book, and find it genuinely subversive even to this day.At one point, Ian Malcolm (who is pretty clearly the moral authority in the book) point blank says something like “he’s not evil he’s misinformed” and that really shows clear it is clear even to someone as horrified by the situation as Malcolm that Wu wasn’t the problem, not really, and he always had the potential to be part of the solution.

Also, the “it’s always you, isn’t it?” Line in Dominion annoys me to no end because of this (and because of the implications that Ian Malcom would have let Howard King join his group in The Lost World novel had King survived-not to mention how Ian Malcolm interacted with Elliot Wu in the version of the Lost World that included this character-Henry Wu’s brother who’s been on Isla Sorna the whole time), EXPLICITLY asking him to join his crew in escaping the island).

atp I'm not even an apologist for Henry Wu. he did all that, but not of his own volition.

It is year 4021.

"People is still trying to find mistical Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna where legends say that dinosaurs still exist. The newest evidence may be, thanks to Third UN environment restoration program, on Sentinel islands that floated out of sea level in recent years. In old legends this Island was one of most dangerous that man could go but cause of this is lost in time."-from popular scientific program about mistiries of the this world.

"Amateur archeologist who claimed to find the gate to Jurassic Park is proven to be a hoax.

"Historian Lana Pertham quoted saying 'at this point we have so many fake Jurassic Park gates we could make a whole Jurassic Gate Park.'"

I was talking to ine of my friends, and we were talking about the weirdest, out there, batshit crazy fanfics we've ever read. So I'm going to subject you to the memory I had locked away that was recently drugged up from the bottom of the ocean that is my middle school memories.

This was a fanfiction that was a Harry Potter/Jurassic Park crossover. During the Department of Mysteries battle, Harry Potter had grabbed Bellatrix's foot, and she panic apparated onto Isla Sorna. This was after the fall of the park, so everything was all overgrown and shit. They were walking around and Harry was trying to explain Dinosaurs to Bella, and she was like (exact quote) "I'm not fucking stupid Potter I know what a fucking Dinosaur is... but do continue". Eventually they get to talking about how to escape because I guess Bella couldn't apparate them back? Well the solution was to build a raft. So they were talking about how to get all that working, and Bella was like "ok, but what the fuck are we going to eat while we float around in the mother fucking ocean???" (She said fuck a LOT in this fic). Well, I shit you not, the solution Harry thought of was that he could get her pregnant, and they could drink her breast milk to survive. Yes, her breast milk. The fic ended there, it was never finished, and I haven't been able to find it since. Now you get to have this live rent free in your head for the rest of time. You're welcome.

Someone obliviate me.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

“The Lost World: Jurassic Park” loses all nuance and self-awareness to deliver a seriously unengaging movie.

Ian Malcolm is asked to travel to Isla Sorna to document the dinosaurs that were not part of the original theme park and have been living in isolation for four years. Malcolm refuses, stating John Hammond is just making another mistake, but is coaxed into returning after finding out that his girlfriend is there. When he gets there, he’s met with his new research team. What they find out is that they’re not the only humans on the island. Hammond’s old company is now trying to capture dinosaurs to open a new theme park. It quickly becomes apparent that everyone has bit off more than they can chew.

Finding out that Sam Neill wasn’t coming back for this movie as Alan Grant was disappointing, to say the least. I thought having Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm as the new main character was an interesting idea... until I realized how boring he is as a character. Don’t get me wrong. I like Jeff Goldblum. I just think that his character in this movie wasn’t all that interesting. In the original movie, Ian Malcolm was just that guy who warns everyone about the dangers of what they were doing. In this movie, he’s still doing that, but this time he does it constantly. He’s much less of a rock star in this movie too. He has a girlfriend and a daughter from a previous relationship. I get why the choice to give him this family was made. It’s so that he has something to potentially lose throughout the film, but it really went against his character in the first movie. Admittedly, I like how getting Ian Malcolm back on the island was handled. The movie does a good job at setting things up, but never really delivers further than that. The whole second act of this movie is just one long survival sequence. They get attacked by dinosaurs, the dinosaurs just leave, the crew rests, the dinosaurs come back to attack, and the cycle just continues. It’s seriously unengaging to just watch that happen over and over again, especially when the kills are tainted by weird or dumb choices. There’s a scene where Ian, his girlfriend, and Nick are hanging from a rope over a cliff. The person that’s supposed to save them is this bumbling idiot who makes all the wrong choices. I can’t tell you how many times I smacked the center of my forehead watching him try to tie cables around various objects. When he eventually gets ripped apart, I couldn’t help but feel glad that his stupid antics were finally over. There’s another scene with these baby Velociraptors that nibble a bit on the bad guy and then back off. They do this again and back off again. It’s only until he conveniently falls behind a log, obscured from the camera, that the tiny dinosaurs devour the man. I get it from a filmmaking standpoint. It’s to show a little taste of what the baby dinosaurs are capable of to then let the audience’s imagination do the rest of the work. It just doesn’t make a lot of narrative sense. At a certain point, the movie ditches the idea of the dinosaur attacks being thrilling and tries to opt for comedy. There’s a scene where Ian is double-backing between a door to avoid a Velociraptor. There’s also the infamous gymnastic scene that truly felt like a low point for this already frustrating movie. Finally, the movie rushes to get to something that thought would be cool without actually earning it. The Tyrannosaurus wreaking havoc in the city sounds cool, but if you don’t earn it, it doesn’t feel good. There’s a massive plot hole that allows for this to happen and it’s indicative of the mindset the filmmakers were in when coming up with the ending. Do anything to make sure the T-Rex is rampaging in the city by the end, even if it makes no sense. I’d be madder at this movie, but there are still good aspects sprinkled inside. The use of animatronics is still here, so it’s nice to still see impressive puppetry. The directing in this movie is still top-notch thanks to Steven Spielberg. I know that the next movie is commonly known as the worst movie in the franchise, so I can’t wait to see what’s in store.
