Life in the Jurassic Park cinematic universe would be so much easier if everyone just listened to revered mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and his ramblings about chaos theory. If only Dr. Henry Wu (BD Wong) had taken into consideration the basic principles of chaos theory, he’d have known that creating the original theme park would have major consequences. So many lives would have been saved (rest in peace Wayne Knight’s Nedry). Chaos theory is basically the idea that even the slightest changes in complex systems can have massive, unpredictable effects down the road. Dr. Wu brought dinosaurs back to life by splicing their DNA with that of a frog’s. A frog’s genome has approximately 20,000 genes, and messing with these could beget a lot of unexpected and odd outcomes like, say dinosaurs changing their sex and breeding. “Life, uh, finds a way,” as Malcolm so eloquently puts it.

So, what does chaos theory have to do with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom being a film about the downfall of life on earth as we know it? Well, everything. In Jurassic World, InGen made the exact same mistakes it did in Jurassic Park: not understanding that they simply can’t control such a complex system (the theme park) nor predict exactly how said system will operate that far ahead in the future, and creating the Indominus Rex. The Indominus Rex, among the many different DNA strands from various terrifying species of dinosaurs, was spliced with the DNA of a tree frog and cuttlefish, the latter two of which led to its escape and the subsequent shutdown of the park. Again, Dr. Wu didn’t realize how monumental the effects would be of creating such a formidable creature; the cuttlefish DNA allowed the dinosaur to change its skin color, using it as camouflage with its surrounding environment to hide in plain sight, and the tree frog DNA allowed it to remove its own thermal signature, making it undetectable on radar. “That’s…that’s chaos theory.”

In Fallen Kingdom, Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) risk their lives to save the population of the dinosaurs living on Isla Nublar, the location of Jurassic World, from the island’s not-so-dormant volcano. Now, the characters and rest of the plot are being kept under wraps, but our friend IMDb provides several clues through generic character names. Congressman, Mercenary, US Senate, Russian Bodyguard, Evil Businessman, Secret Agent at the Corporate Courtroom, Corporation Spokesperson, and InGen Contractor all lead to the fact that the US government, other large corporations besides InGen, the military, and potentially the Russian government are all now interested or invested in commodifying the dinosaurs that John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) so lovingly created. Not only could this create a dangerous competition similar to the nuclear arms race, but it will most certainly blind every money-hungry entity, including governments aiming to capitalize on Jurassic World’s attractions from remembering the basic principles of chaos theory.

The trailer shows various men in suits transporting the dinosaurs off of the island and into the real world. The last time somebody in this cinematic universe had the brilliant idea was in The Lost World, when InGen tried to bring a Tyrannosaurus Rex to San Diego with the hopes of bringing them to a dinosaur stadium there for tourists. Obviously, it escaped, and just one dinosaur wreaked havoc throughout the quiet suburbs of San Diego. Imagine what an entire island’s worth of dinosaurs could do if they were unleashed into the world, breading at an exponential rate. It may just happen in Fallen Kingdom, the name possibly referring to the fall of civilization. In fact, we see glimpses of what appears to be the Indominus Rex in a suburban environment in the trailer, terrorizing a young girl, showing us that the dinosaurs do indeed escape at some point in the film. And, seeing as they are higher on the food chain than human beings, it would only be a matter of time before our population would be overturned by these apex predators. We shall find out on June 22.
