"As we said, this is in effect Jurassic Plant. You remember the man-eating plant in Jumanji that the scientists revived? The one that ate people? Well, scientists in Russia have done something similar."It's a cool story, growing a plant from a seed thousands of years old, but ...

There was actually a reference in Jurassic Park to recreating ancient plants. Of course, they didn't eat anybody... Laura Dern sitting in a Jeep staring at a leaf isn't as visual as Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, and Robin Williams playing tug-of-war with a plant, using Bradley Pierce as the rope...
