Why didn't Jurassic Park succeed?

Answer 1

because Dennis nedry worked for another company called byosin.

he gained very much money for stealing embryos off all dinosaurs.

he didn't want to get detected so he shut down the system.

his plan failed and he died.

Answer 2

If you mean the first, cause it wasnt rated R, no gore, hardly any blood, not scary or even suspenseful. Good action, but still needed to be rated R and have plenty of blood and gore, and cussing.

Answer 3

In a meta sense, Jurassic Park was made as a warning against genetic engineering. At the time, the field had just opened up as a science, and many people were comparing it to atomic energy. The possibilities were endless, but critics were on it from the very start. Micheal Crichton certainly wasn't the first person to write about dinosaur theme parks, but he was one of the first to look at it to Genetic Engineering as Chernobyl was to Nuclear Power or the Hindenburg to Air Travel. The book was to remind scientists of how much they really know about the world and what it took to get there.

In-universe, it depends on which John Hammond you're looking at. In the book, Hammond created the park simply created the park to make money, careless about historical accuracy or security measures of any kind. In fact, most of the park's problems revolved around his utter ignorance about anything in his own investments. The film looks at the character in a softer respect, more childlike and wanting to spread a sense of wonder to the world one last time. That time, the park didn't fail because he underestimated this power, but because he overestimated his workers and trusted the wrong people.

Answer 4

Jurassic Park was a spectacular failure, and the reason why was mostly explained by the chracter of Ian Malcolm. In-universe, he was a mathematician who was trying to advertise Chaos Theory- the idea of complex equations underlying the simplest ones and the simple equations underlying the most complex ones. The basic idea is that, even if you had the perfect system, there is no way to predict anything that will happen. He also made a point to call John Hammond out on how little he really knew about the park. "You stood on the shoulders of giants, and you took the next step forward, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, you slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now, you're selling it. You're SELLING it!"

His predictions ended up becoming truth because Hammond couldn't predict that one of his employees was a double agent. Dennis Nedry was working for a rival corporation called "BioSyn", and he somehow managed to be the only person Hammond could trust with the security systems. Nedry managed himself into the perfect position to shut everything down for a few minutes, steal a few of the dinosaur embryos, sell them at the dock, come back and turn the systems back on. Unfortunately, he got lost on the way to the dock and, eventually and famously, eaten by a rogue Dilophosaurus. He never got the chance to turn the power back on, which is how the dinosaurs escaped and how everything pretty much went downhill.
