Ian Malcolm

Chaos in Jurassic Park “Chaos theory proves that unpredictability is built into our daily lives.”(Crichton 313). Ian Malcolm’s words resolve the book, Jurassic Park, in a very absolute way. Throughout the book, Malcolm, spoke about chaos theory and his self proclaimed “Malcolm Effect” to explain his reasoning in his predictions. Ian Malcolm had predicted the demise of Jurassic Park even before its opening, as well as its multiple problems and difficulties. Malcolm’s theory is evidenced countless

secluded Costa Rican island. Furthermore, he plans to show his creations to the world in a new theme park which he has named “Jurassic Park”. Prior to the official opening, Hammond invites his grandchildren and experts Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm to get a full tour of his “scientific masterpiece”. After arrival, they are all amazed by the fact that not only has Hammond revitalized the tallest and smallest of dinosaurs in the exhibits, but also the fiercest with two Tyrannosaurus Rexes and

While having this conversation, Gennaro mentions how Tina was attacked and also how many people have been reporting lizard attacks nearby. Ian Malcolm believes that these “lizards” are actually dinosaurs that have managed to get off the island based on the chaos theory. 3) Hammond's two

I considered Ian Malcolm to be my personal favorite character. He was the one who proposed that the park would not succeed due to his proposed chaos theory. Based on what Henry Wu and the other workers had told them, nobody expected anything to go wrong as they had supposedly

There they see that an electric fence contains the T-rex, once again showing in this human are trying to control nature. When everyone on tour got towards what they believed was the end of the tour, Dr. Allen and Malcolm with the kids head back to the tour car to head back, while Dr. Sattler stays behind. This causes

The founder of the park, John Hammond, requests a couple of paleontologist, Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler to come to his park to ensure that everything is safe before he opens the park next year. Along with them a chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm was asked to come to the island as well. When they first make it to the island, they are all in awestruck that there were living and breathing dinosaurs right in front of them.

Hammond states this to Dr. Wu in the chapter, Bungalow. In this quote Hammond refuses to face the reality of how unsafe his park is, even though countless amount of evidence is set in front him. Not to mention he also refuses to believe that the dinosaurs have found a way to breed despite of the scientists’ precautions.

The special effects and animatronics was enough for two more movies, which were The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park Ⅲ (3). 14 years later after the release of Jurassic Park Ⅲ, came Jurassic World.

Upon arriving at the island, he is shown to be in awe of the dinosaurs, as this is his life’s work come to life before him. However, after witnessing the lapse in judgement so apparent in the construction of the park, he is faced with a dilemma.
