JURASSIC PARK III (2001)
Featuring: Sam Neill; William H Macy; Tea Leoni
Director: Joe Johnston
Sam Neill is back as paleontologist Dr Alan Grant in this third edition of the Jurassic Park series. And with him comes an entire new cast. But the storyline remains more or less the same.
Paul Kirby (William H Macy) is a small town businessman. When his son got lost on Isla Sona (the second island which featured in the previous film) he cons Dr Alan Grant (Neill) into accompanying him and his wife, Amanda (Tea Leoni) to the island to search for their lost child. From there on it is basically the same old story all over again: man playing hide and seek with ferocious monstrosities and desperately trying not to become its meal in the process.
The problem the film makers had by this time was no longer to convince audiences that their extinct prehistoric dinosaurs are real but to keep the story interesting enough to still draw those audiences in droves back to the theaters. And it is just here where many critics felt they failed. If this is in fact so, I suggest you watch this movie (again?) and decide for yourself.
However, I enjoyed it enough to give it another 3 out of 5 stars.
