Special Effects and no plot - may as well play a video game...

Rating: 2/10 (10 September 1999)

Poor acting, casting, writing, direction. The 'plot' is very, very silly. Even when I was a kid I would have thought this very childish. The dialogue was awful and Jeff Golblum was especially dreadful.
I like Sam Neill and Bob Peck. What were they doing in this? Dicky Attenborough, we've come to expect this silliness of him.
Typical Spielberg precocious 'wise kids' at the centre of the action as usual. Cheesy themes, predictable outcomes.
But the special effects were great...
