Man, I feel old.
Taking some liberties with Michael Crichtons's source material (Hammond dies and was not a very nice man; Grant likes kids), this is a disaster movie with stunning effects (that still hold up pretty well today) for the time, even if our understanding of the 'headline' dinosaurs has changed somewhat in the intervening years since its release (Raptors were the size of chickens, had feathers, and were NOT pack hunters. or so we now think).
Set on a tropical island hit by a storm just as the owner is given a pre-release tour to special invited guests to show off his scientific breakthrough - cloned Dinosaurs, because that's ALWAYS a good idea … - a series of events leads to the power going down, and the 'exhibits' breaking free to wreak havoc amongst those guests. And, lets not kid around the bush here, despite having the likes of Samuel L Jackson, Richard Attenborough, Sam Neil, Laura Dern and - uh- Jeff Goldblum ("life, uh, finds a way") amongst the cast - the real stars are those dinosaurs.
All the sequels (4 so far, with a 5th ion the way in Jurassic World: Dominion) pale in comparison.

The basic concept is you make chickens who lay eggs, upgrade certain items to increase egg value, then advance to the next unlocked egg that will be layed and restart the process. Once you hit a point (or at anytime really) where you are having a hard time progressing, you prestige and start over. Every prestige makes your egg value multiplier raise. The cool thing is you can actually "beat" this game! What I mean by that is you can complete all the objectives and trophies, though you can still play after of course.
I played this game F2P for quite a long time before I bought anything, so it is doable! I believe over the course of 3 years I have "beaten" this game twice (meet all objectives before a new patch would add more) and only purchased about $10 worth of stuff (piggy bank breaks and silo upgrade). There are no ads unless you want there to be by watching a video. Also, they have a very cool augmented reality feature!
All in all this is a great game and one I will be playing for years to come!
