All members of missing Titan submarine believed dead

[Andrew NDB]

Dumb question... why didn't they just build the sub with titanium or whatever? Was the composite material like a cost saving measure, or to keep the weight down for some reason?

Well... Remember John Hammond? "Spared no expense", meanwhile the one person responsible for the extremely complex computer systems is woefully underpaid? Yeah.

This whole thing is a Michael Crichton plot with a dash of Peter Benchley thrown in.

Yeah, the guy treated the dinosaurs better than his employees. Also, Dr. Henry Wu was probably just a diversity hire who had no idea what he was getting himself and his co-workers into.

And he was still the most competent person at his job there. That's just sad.

(Book Muldoon was a badass but he needed to get drunk to be at his best, so he doesn't count.)

Geezed I just realized that I still have not seen the last Jurassic Park. And you'd imagine I'd be all-in because I love the franchise, love the old guard originals and love the new cast.

Crazy.

You'll be disappointed. I'm a huge fan of both the movies and the novels, and I have nothing good to say about it. The very definition of "Meh". Maybe watch the extended cut if you can find it, it's at least a bit more passable.

I really liked Jurassic Park 1, really liked Jurassic Park 2, and didn't like 3, 4, 5, or 6.

It's hard to imagine how adding additional footage to the last one would make it any better. Maybe cutting things out might.
