When you bring dinosaurs back to life, build a theme park around them and ignore the wise words of Jeff Goldblum, you know it's going to end badly. The latest film in the Jurassic Park series Jurassic World, provides an update and modern scientific view of brining dinosaurs back to life. It is a brilliant film and has some amazing science in it. But is the science in Jurassic World possible, or is it a big old pile of Stegosaurus poo!
