  • That’s not what suspension of disbelief is.

    It’s all about creating a story that’s believable within the rules of the setting. So within the rules of sci-fi faster than like travel is perfectly reasonable. Hell it might even actually be physically possible we don’t know.

    But musicals don’t really do that, they don’t really explain why suddenly everybody is singing in perfect harmony despite apparently having never practised, it just happens and no explanation is forthcoming.

    Well for starters I wouldn’t make the containment system an electric fence, have an electric fence by all means but have some physical metal rods as backup. Also maybe don’t make the dinosaurs bulletproof.

    Hammond probably got told that but decided it was too expensive. After all how often is the power likely to go on out on * and island frequently hit by hurricanes?


  • If you put high voltage electric fences around humans they’re pretty well contained. The intelligence level of the dinosaurs was never relevant but the movie did kind of try and suggest that somehow the velociraptors were special simply because they were mildly more intelligent than the rest.

    They made a big thing about how raptors can open doors, my cats can open doors.

    If anything Jurassic park is basically a lesson in properly vetting your staff.

    Everything that happened happened because Dennis was the only IT guy and basically could do whatever he wanted with zero oversight. It’s not like the dinosaurs were going to break out on their own, even the raptors only got out because the fences were turned off.
