Rated PG-13, directed by Joe Johnston, with: Sam Neill (Dr Alan Grant, William H. Macy (Paul Kirby), Tea Leoni (Amanda Kirby) and Alessandro Nivola (Billy Brennan), running time: 90 minutes.
The Dolby sound system is pushed to its low frequency limit as it pumps out the stomp ... stomp of approaching Mesozoic death in Jurassic Park 3. That probably sounds exciting, if you haven't already seen the two previous Jurassic Park movies. In the latest sequel, Dr Grant (Sam Neill) reluctantly returns to the forsaken island, on which he previously almost met his end, as part of a research expedition. As luck would have it, their plane crashes on the island and within seconds all involved are scurrying from carnivorous dinosaurs. Jurassic Park 3 relies heavily on booming footsteps and frenzied races through dense foliage, but despite the tired plot, the movie is quite entertaining and moves about as fast as any one would in the opposite direction of a dreaded velociraptor.
