The 2015 Jurassic World 2018 Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom (which has been playing on TV a lot lately) starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard is primarily about a black market for selling rare and 'custom' dinosaurs to the rich and powerful. There is a ethical dimension to the movie about whether lab-grown dinosaurs (that is, ALL currently existing dinosaurs) have the same intrinsic animal rights as naturally existing animals. Some think they should be allowed to go extinct again because they had their chance with nature and nature selected them to go extinct. Others think that because humans brought them back, they're still living things with intrinsic rights.This is a pretty interesting dilemma to explore. But the additional exploration of this theme was the much more interesting subplot upon which the showrunners failed to capitalize.To me, the much more interesting plot point was that Maisie Lockwood (granddaughter of Benjamin Lockwood, John Hammond's former partner at InGen) turned out to be Ben Lockwoods daughter's clone.Like.. this was a pretty underdeveloped turn of events. Perhaps it got lost in the edit or whatever, but I feel like this would have been a much more interesting focal point of the story. The amount of money and interest successful human-cloning technology would have garnered from the rich, elite, black-market buyers would have far-outweighed dinosaurs, I think...Anyway,... just a thought... via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2VFYmGD
