Jurassic Park III (2001)







Dr. Alan Grant is led to Isla Sorna under false pretenses by Paul and Amanda Kirby.  Thinking he's there to give them a tour in exchange for funding, it turns out the Kirbys are ex-husband and wife searching for their son Eric, who went missing while parasailing.  They quickly encounter a Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus.  Soon after that, Velociraptors are on their tail after Alan's assistant steals some eggs.  The group finds Eric but the happy reunion is short-lived when a group of Pteranodons.  The eggs are returned to the Velociraptors and the group is saved with the help of Ellie Sattler.

Jurassic Park III began filming without a completed script and it sure shows.  Not that much was expected from a Jurassic Park movie aside from people being chased by dinosaurs.  It was nice to get a few new ones like the Spinosaurus and Pteranodons.  The characters and plot were not quite as dull as the The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997).  The film had a decent box office intake though the franchise headed for extinction 14 years in the making.
