The operation was then moved to larger facilities on two islands off the coast of Costa Rica. Wu cloned baby elephants, before moving on to dinosaurs. It was there at Lockwood Manor that they eventually succeeded and the first dinosaur DNA from amber was extracted. ![]() A laboratory was designed and built in Lockwood Manor's subbasement to this end. It is presumed that Henry Wu was also hired at this time to master the technology which would bring the dinosaurs back to life via genetic engineering and extracting dinosaur DNA from fossilized amber. To that end, Hammond and Lockwood used their respective fortunes to fund the creation of the technology to extract DNA from amber. It is not known whether he moved into the Manor or had it built, but by at least the 1980s, Sir Benjamin had taken residency here along with his housekeeper Iris and his daughter Charlotte.īefore the 1980s, Sir Benjamin and his longtime friend John Hammond became business partners and mutually shared a dream of bringing extinct dinosaurs to life. What is concretely known is that the home became occupied by Sir Benjamin Lockwood, a wealthy philanthropist and heir to the Lockwood Family fortune. We aren't idiots and we do value a well written and interesting story.The origins of the Lockwood Manor are not known. Don't let them think that lazy writing is ok. When rating these films please be honest with yourselves and send Hollywood a message. Was it was entertaining? yes without a doubt, but this is nowhere near a 9/10 film and you all know it. This will only happen if we stop rating these mediocre generic blockbuster films so highly. We should all be demanding better, more creative writing that continues to offer us something new and exciting. ![]() We really should'nt be satisfied with this state of affairs. Given that there are so many 9+ reviews on here maybe i am in the minority but I just feel like we are letting Hollywood get away with lazy writing, which contains numerous plot holes just so we can marvel at some cool CGI. Unfortunately I can't help but compare it to the original Jurassic park film and consider how it doesn't even come close to the terrifying moments of suspence and the brilliant portrayal of the different characters we got in JP1. If you go and see this film you will probably enjoy it and it will most certainly entertain you for a while but after the moment has passed I am not left with the sense that I have seen something truely groundbreaking. Sometimes I feel like the major action scenes were thought up first and then the story was just sort of inserted between them as a glue so we have a way of getting from one action scene to the next. (Mutant dinosaur + evil corporate guys) All of the main characters stories are pretty unbelievable and there isn't enough investment in developing their individual personalities / backstory so we understand why they behave the way they do. Instead we get more of the same themes from the original JP films plus some more from JW. ![]() I think what bothers me the most is that a lot of the writing is just lazy and not well thought through or truely creative. However once the major action scene is over and they have to focus on the main story things start to go downhill. Like a lot of others are saying the first part of the film, where they are escaping from the island is great and quite exciting and sets the film up pretty well.
