John Hammond believes Jurassic Park is simple and therefore controllable, but Malcolm argues that "unpredictability is built into our daily lives" and so the "dream of total control" promised by science must die (Crichton 206). That doesn't mean that science can't predict or control

This placement may have been particularly effective as some of the iconic items that are associated with the movie going experience are popcorn and a large soda.…
