Eccentric billionaire John Hammond-oo has spared no expense. Deep in a Costa Rican jungle, his team of geneticists has successfully cloned two pristine OOs from a drop of amber-preserved mosquito blood. The resulting specimens — designated OO rex — are majestic, terrifying, and mildly ticklish.
A small party is invited to preview the park before opening: paleontologist Alan Grant-oo, paleobotanist Ellie Sattler, chaos theoretician Ian Malcolm-oo, and two grandchildren whose insurance premiums will never recover. A freak storm, a disgruntled programmer, and a poorly specified access-control list do the rest.
When the containment fence fails, the OOs escape. They don't walk. They bounce. And life, uh, finds a way to jiggle.

Critical RecOOption
★★★★★
"A spectacle. The OOs are more convincing than most lead actors. My popcorn sympathetically vibrated."
Roger Jigg-bert · Chicago Sun-Jiggler
★★★★☆
"Terrifying and adorable in equal measure. I screamed. Then I giggled. Then I screamed again."

★★★★★
"Spielberg has invented a new verb. That verb is 'to OO'. It means 'to sprint adorably while also being 12 feet tall.'"
The Hollywood Jig-porter
★★☆☆☆
"Scientifically irresponsible. You can't get OO DNA from amber. Everyone knows the half-life is nine million years."
