    The document discusses the science and fiction presented in the Jurassic Park movies. It covers the genetically engineered dinosaurs in the films, how the raptors depicted were more similar to Deinonychus than Velociraptors, and how paleontological discoveries since the 1990s have shown that regenerating dinosaur DNA may be possible in the future. The document examines what parts of the Jurassic Park world were based on science and what was science fiction at the time.
