Companies and individuals wanted to automate their lives and tasks, albeit sometimes on a much smaller scale than that of Hammond's park.
This occurred just ten years before the predicted turn-of-the-millennium "Y2K" computer glitch that had computer technicians and information technology professionals across the globe bracing for disaster. One of the primary questions Crichton explores in Jurassic Park is what would happen if all of these computers and systems suddenly stopped working.
Crichton does not include Malcolm's chaos-theory calculations of catastrophe merely to show off fancy-sounding scientific lingo. Malcolm's theories, rather, serve as a warning for a society increasingly dependent on technology.
Though Hammond's computer system is designed to anticipate any disaster that may befall his park, yet Malcolm asserts that, because of the laws of chaos theory that govern all natural or manmade systems, the workings of a complex system like Jurassic Park simply cannot be predicted for any length of time.
Something unexpected is bound to happen, and no computer program can be designed to prevent it. Malcolm's lesson can be applied to any person or corporation that tries to substitute computer calculations for flexible human thought. Circumstances change, and even the most complicated computer program will not always be able to keep up. In a broader sense, Crichton is making a statement about man's thirst for scientific discovery and power.
He also cares about his dinosaurs at the same time, but understands the circumstances when the park fails. The novel's Hammond's personalities are seen instead in Donald Gennaro. The turning point for film's Hammond is when Ellie Sattler bluntly tells him that he "never had control" and that the only thing that matters now is the survival of the people they love. Hammond is visibly struck by Ellie's words and spends the remainder of the film doing whatever he can to make sure that they all survive Jurassic Park.
Unlike his novel appearance, John escapes Jurassic Park and agrees with Dr. Grant that the park was a failure and should not be endorsed, though he was understandably depressed about the failure. Hammond does not physically appear in Jurassic Park: The Game , although his helicopter is briefly seen at the end of Episode 1. Four years after the Isla Nublar Incident, an ailing John resides in a mansion. He had become a naturalist rather than continue being an industrialist.
He was seen talking with Ian Malcolm about sending a team to Isla Sorna to document the animals. Ian becomes angry when John revealed that he had allowed his girlfriend Sarah Harding to go to Isla Sorna, but reluctantly goes. He is briefly seen in the San Diego Incident CNN broadcast saying that the dinosaurs should be left alone on Isla Sorna and ends with Ian's quote, "life will find a way.
Hammond is only mentioned by Dr. Grant in a conference, with the former declaring he still did not agree with John's original intentions. In real life, Richard Attenborough died of natural causes on August 24, , aged Two decades after the original disaster, John Hammond's dream has finally come true in the form of a new fully-functional dinosaur park. The cloning facility on the island is named after Hammond: Hammond Creation Lab.
Ever looking towards the future, his statue stands in the Innovation Center , before the entrance to the Hammond Creation Lab, in remembrance of his heart, passion and imagination. When Mansrani berates Wu for the creation of the Indominus Rex and tells him to shut down all activity, he even mentions that Hammond wouldn't be there to protect him this time.
Benjamin Lockwood 's employee and murderer Eli Mills tells Owen , Claire and Maise that what drove Lockwood and Hammond and apart was that Lockwood cloned his deceased daughter Maise, ultimately revealing that Maise was never Lockwood's granddaughter like he said she was. When the campers of Camp Cretaceous are visiting Henry Wu's lab in Jurassic World, Brooklynn who was one of the campers told Wu that he could let Hammond and Mansrani take the credit, in order to stroke his ego and convince him to be part of her video about Jurassic World for views.
When Camp Cretaceous campers Darius , Kenji and Yasmina come across the original park, Yasmina says she heard that the original park owner broke his ankle there and was then eaten alive by Compies. Darius then says that Hammond died of natural causes. In , he invites Drs. Sign in. Back to Main menu What to watch Film news. Our editorial is always independent learn more.
