Least Of The Three, But That's Not All Bad

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2006)

Of the three Jurassic Park films, this was the only one I thought didn't match up to the others, but that's just my opinion. It was still entertaining and offered the normal amounts of thrills and amazing special effects.
The dinosaurs are so life-like that they are always fascinating to watch. The baby T-Rex is particularly realistic in this adventure story, as are the little bird-like creatures. The story was so-so. I think a better ending would have been a shot of the big reptile in front of the San Diego skyline, which could set up the sequel of the beast loose in a big city, but the ending was still okay....just could have been better.
Also, there was too much action in here. Some - not a lot - should have been cut out. At a little over two hours, the film can wear you out. Despite the above remarks, it's still a fun-scary-tense thriller and the DTS sound is superb. In fact, this is one of the best-sounding DVDs I own, and that helps make the film enjoyable.
