New Showbiz Analysis

The film argues that human attempts to control nature through technology and profit are doomed. Hammond’s wealth and confidence are portrayed as delusions that ignore biological reality. The dinosaurs are not evil; they are simply alive, and human arrogance fails to account for their agency. The ending reinforces that nature is indifferent to human plans.
