Jurassic Park still holds its own pretty well effects-wise but man Michael Crichton sure hates science a whole lot.

I was especially fond of the part where they talk about how reconstructing extinct animals is bad because “you didn’t earn the knowledge, you just took what people had done before you and brought it to its next logical step”

Or in other wordsyou know... science.

I think they forgot to change some stuff when they changed book Hammond from petulant manchild asshole to movie Hammond’s well-intentioned grampy. Like they forgot to rewrite everyone’s dialogue towards him, so he’s this kindly old man with a dream of something wonderful and everyone’s all “God dammit John, you’re such an asshole stop doing science you’re bad!”
