So bad it's funny 3rd film in the Jurassic Park series let's go of the intelligence, wonder and heart of the first two Steven Spielberg films (Jurassic Park and The Lost World) and just goes for it in just plain loony stupidity with a half baked rescues film that tries to be everything but entertaining.
Alan Grant(Sam Neill)is tricked into going to Isla Sorna by a supposedly rich couple ( William H Macy and Tea leoni) wanting to go on a sight seeing tour of the island, unknowing to him that he's really there to help find their son, who was stranded there a few weeks earlier. In their search to find this dumb kid, their plane crash lands on the island and they meet the island's new dinosaur called the Spinosaurus, who manages to eat one of them and have a their satellite phone ringing inside its belly through out the film. Not to mention a bad subplot with the parents falling in love again with each other and talking raptors that are hunting our heroes through out the film for their stolen eggs. If the story already sounds like it's completely out there, it's because it is. Most of what is happening in front of you makes absolutely no sense and the acting from every actor in the movie in phoned in. Poor Sam Neill looks miserable through out the whole thing and most of the special and practical effects look second rate compared to the last Spielberg films and the movie that comes after it (Jurassic World). The characters act like idiots through out the entire movie and when it ends, it just ends. With No build up or climax. The only thing you know for certain is that you're laughing at all the wrong reasons, hoping and cheering on the dinosaurs in killing every human character in the film.
I don 't know what when through the mind of the people in charge of this franchise but what ever it was, I hope they keep it to themselves next time.
