Neither Spielberg, nor screenwriter David Koepp, nor Michael
Crichton, on whose novel the movie is based, have shown any interest
in challenging the moralistic assumption at the heart of almost
every creature feature: That good intentions, spunkiness and, above
all, good looks are the safeguards against rampaging monsters.
