Jurassic Park contains the most spectacular special effects ever put on a movie screen. Now we see dinosaurs clawing the earth while humans run around them on all sides.
Dust swirls through the air as the creatures bleat and men drop snares over their heads.
The creatures and humans interact with much greater freedom than before, making the seams between the live action humans and the digital creations even more difficult to discern. So if you want dinosaurs, you'll get dinosaurs and plenty of them in The Lost World . But this movie is ultimately disappointing because that's practically all you get. At least in Jurassic Park , director Steven Spielberg allowed us to sense the wonder and awe of being pulled into an incredible environment where dinosaurs had been reborn. We also could experience the growing tension as the dinosaur theme park gradually self-destructed.
