  It’s from the Jurassic Park novel. Spoiler: It kinda goes downhill.

    The latest one wasn’t bad, just same story again, nothing original except more water and dumb choices.

      It felt very lifeless, they tried to create interesting background stories for the main characters, but it felt super forced and it was completely irrelevant to the rest of the movie. Also they lazily copied the famous kitchen scene in JP1

        Also they lazily copied …

        In film school, that’s called an homage. /s

        I don’t know the last time I cared so little about the characters in a film. There were a couple of solid scenes but they couldn’t save it. I was genuinely happy when it was finally over.

        Yes, but it was entertaining. Just nothing original, seen it all before inside and outside Jurassic Park movies.

  They get eaten by velociraptors.

  In context, this makes sense.

  The load bearing laptop crashes the entire internet and everyone dies. The end.

  The book is even better than the movie, don’t rob yourself of a great time.

  Their system was set up such that when they rebooted the whole thing (which they needed to do to get out of the lockout Nerdy used, intending to steal the DNA samples, deliver them to his contact at the docks, then return without anyone realizing what had happened), it would first start up only using AUX power. Then they just needed to run a command to have the system switch to main power.

  But they forgot because the whole island was a well-polished shit that they were barely holding together and hadn’t ever trained on what to do after a reset.

  After this scene, the power goes out through the whole park and to restore it, someone needs to go to the power station and manually activate the mechanism that closes the breaker to bring main power back on.

  In the movie, IIRC they just skipped straight to the “start the power up manually in the power station”, which Ellie does after Arnold fails to do so or return.

  The book had a better system overall (where main power could have been turned on from the control room, or safely in the bunker if they had remembered it before the fences failed) and the issue was with a lack of experience with that system. The movie’s version was simpler but a stupid system for a park full of dangerous predators because it didn’t have a fail safe at all. Plus that stupid 3d interface that apparently Lex knew and was thus able to figure how to enable secondary systems when all of that would be custom software running on the OS.

    I feel obligated to point out that the “stupid 3D interface” was actually a REAL stupid 3D interface. Someone at Sun Microsystems genuinely thought we’d enjoy browsing our filesystems by flying over a virtual city. It really was a UNIC system as she said, just one with a batshit frontend.
