What it means
Our interpretation.
Wonder and criticism can coexist. Malcolm’s disbelief recognises what Hammond has achieved without settling the separate question of whether the park can be made safe or justified.

Spoilers for Jurassic ParkShow the scene
After the first dinosaur reveal, Malcolm reacts to Hammond’s accomplishment with this astonished admission. His scepticism has not prevented him from being overwhelmed by the sight of a living Brachiosaurus. The moment acknowledges the achievement before the film’s arguments about whether it should have been attempted.
