"Jurassic Park" - Zane

The Shadow Over Isla Sorna

I have always thought that Jurassic Park is a remarkable and original storyline that is perfect for sequels. However, this FanFiction piece sequel to the Jurassic Park story has gone a bit over the top.This FanFiction piece has a man called Quincy returning to Isla Sorna to check on a Spinosaurus who was a secret experiment kept by InGen, and this Spinosaurus is able to speak. To have a talking Dinosaur as a character is a bit far-fetched and breaks the credibility of the story. Jurassic Park is a great story because of how it keeps the 'what if' factor, and to have a talking Dinosaur breaks this 'what if' factor because there is no way it could be even remotely possible.

Jurassic Park: The Brotherhood

This piece of FanFiction sees Eric Kirby (boy from the third Jurassic Park movie) joining with Alex Grant (Dr. Alan Grant's son) and being tricked into going to Isla Nublar. The idea of Eric Kirby being the main character was quite a neat idea in my opinion, however in the previous Jurassic Park films, Alan Grant expressed his dislike for children and is still single with no children by the third movie making it unlikely that he would have a son. Also, the idea of being 'tricked' into going to the island has already been used in Jurassic Park 3 making the storyline a bit dull and un-original.

Over Dinner

This is meant to be a deleted scene from the first Jurassic Park movie when Tim and Lex are sitting in the dining room talking at the Jurassic Park center after Tim's close call almost being electrocuted. The scene written is quite realistic and the writer manages to capture the language used by Tim and Lex for example how they would be somewhat awkward in a compassionate situation. However, I did not particularly see the relevance of creating the scene because it doesn't add anything to the story. Also, the writer made a grammatical error when Lex says to Tim, "Do you know terrible it was to see you in the grass." It should have been, "Do you know how terrible it was to see you in the grass."

Jurassic Park: The Taks Force

This piece appears to be an alternate prelude to the Jurassic Park story. Although a little confusing, it is quite an original storyline and is interesting how Iraq bio-weapons are brought into the story. However, once again there is grammer mistakes in the first paragraph of the piece. For example, "Robert Muldoon was setting in a waiting room waiting for someone to talk to, win finally...". It should have been, "Robert Muldoon was sitting in a waiting room waiting for someone to talk to, whenn finally..." I thought this story was a bit too far from the original and was quite unnecessary.

Jurassic Park 4: Planes can crash into islands

This piece is a little disappointing. It is supposedly set after the 3rd instalment of Jurassic Park, however the beggining seems very familiar and unoriginal seeing as a plane crash landing on Isla Sauna is what happened in Jurassic Park 3. There is no character establishment and the story rushes into action far too quickly. The stepfather is guiding people over the island on a plane just like in Jurassic Park 3. No guide would refer to a Dimetrodon as a "Parasailthing" which made the story very unauthentic. There is also a lack of full stops and commas.
