Jurasic Park 3
A Movie Review |
|
 |
Is America tired of dinosaurs? Well if the weekend box
office is any indication we still like dinosaur movies, or at least
the Jurassic Park series.
This time we get "Jurassic Park III" and once again we
get a bunch of stupid people on an island with dinosaurs that are
looking to eat them. Paul (William H. Macy) and Amanda (Tea Leoni)
Kirby hire Dr. Grant (Sam Neill) on an expedition to Site B of
Jurassic-land. Dr. Grant thinks it’s just a fly-over so the rich
folks can see some dinosaurs, but our duo is actually on a rescue
mission to find their son who disappeared on the island. Wouldn’t
you know it, their plane lands, everyone realizes that landing on
the island is a bad idea so they try to take off, and sadly they
crash. Now it’s a survival mission combined with the proud parents
still hoping to find their son. And do you really need to know any
more about this movie other than the big-bad dinosaurs are looking
to eat our human friends. No, you’re going to see it anyway
because it’s a Jurassic Park movie so I’ll leave the synopsis at
that.
Sam Neill is great again reprising his role as the dinosaur man
and even Laura Dern returns as Ellie, looking great as ever, but she’s
smart enough to stay in the states. But again it’s the dino’s
that steal the show. This time the raptors can talk to each other,
this time we get a super-predator that’s a little more menacing
than a T-Rex, and this time we get pteranodons (big-ass flying
birds) that escape from their giant birdcage and Amanda warns they
better not go to Oklahoma. No one else seems worried that these
giant birds are loose – but I guess that should lead us to
Jurassic Park IV.
In the end "Jurassic Park III" is a movie of exactly
what you expect and want from a dinosaur movie. The dinosaurs are
scary, the people are stupid yet somehow survive, and this movie was
the perfect length at 90 minutes because any longer and the "dino's
chase people, people escape, people find other dino’s, dino’s
chase people, people escape, people find another dino, etc.,"
would have gotten old really fast. I’ll give "Jurassic Park
III" 3 ½ stars out of 5. You’ll get most of what you’d
expect.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
