Jurassic Park 3D (Film)

Jurassic Park 3D is the 3D re-release of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park, which returned to theaters in 2013. The film centers on the chaos that ensues in a theme park populated by dinosaurs recreated through genetic engineering.

Plot

Under the leadership of billionaire John Hammond, scientists successfully reconstruct dinosaur DNA by extracting blood samples from mosquitoes preserved in amber. These DNA sequences are combined with frog DNA to recreate dinosaurs that went extinct 65 million years ago. Hammond establishes a fenced-in zoo called “Jurassic Park” on Isla Nublar, an island he has rented from the government, using electric fencing to contain the cloned animals.

To test the park’s security, paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant, paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler, chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm, and Hammond’s lawyer Donald Gennaro are invited to the island, along with Hammond’s grandchildren Lex and Tim. However, computer specialist Dennis Nedry, who intends to steal embryonic specimens, disables the park’s security system, allowing the dinosaurs to escape and wreak havoc. Particularly dangerous are the lethal Tyrannosaurus Rex and highly intelligent Velociraptors, which pose a major threat to visitors and trigger a desperate struggle for escape from the island.

• The Power of Nature: The dinosaurs’ escape and their behavior guided by instinct demonstrate nature’s power beyond human control and its innate drive for self-preservation.
• Human Arrogance: John Hammond’s attempt to clone dinosaurs and turn them into a commercial entertainment attraction reflects human arrogance in overestimating its own power and manipulating nature.
