This was a landmark movie when it came out in 1993, now a bit over 30 years ago. The novel idea is based on a premise that an ancient mosquito trapped in amber can have dinosaur blood, therefore dinosaur DNA, to allow cloning and regenerating a variety of dinosaurs. The scientific fact is that DNA 65+ million years old would have degraded so much that such an experiment would not be successful. However, it is a fictional movie, so lets pretend for a couple of hours that it had been possible.
The director is Spielberg and the whole movie has a "Raider of the Lost Ark" feel to it, the way action is performed and the way characters escape danger just in time. I have watched this movie several times over the years but every few years is not too much. I found it today streaming on Peacock. It was 96 outside with a "feels like" of 108 so I had no choice, do something inside!
Jeff Goldblum is usually my favorite in most movies he is in, and he is my favorite here as the Scientist who is a vocal critic about the project. In essence his point is, just because we can doesn't mean we should recreate dinosaurs. After all they had their time, they became extinct and we should respect that.
