Life always finds a way… – a review of Duelosaur Island
25 years ago three remarkable people convinced us that creatures, which became extinct millions of years earlier could once again walk the Earth. They were: Michael Crichton, Stephen Spielberg and John Williams. The first wrote a book, the second made it into a film, whilst the third composed an unforgettable music score, which to this day remains one of the greatest film soundtracks. Of course, I am talking about Jurassic Park – the story of a bold undertaking whose aim was to cash in on playing God by showing tourists live dinosaurs, who have been restored to life with the help of advanced technology. As we remember from the film, not all went according to plan for InGen – the corporation managing the park. Visitors to the park, instead of admiring extinct reptiles of old became their snacks instead. Will we, as the managers of our own dinosaur parks manage to learn from this lesson and not repeat the mistakes of our predecessors?
