**** Just When You Thought it Was Safe to Take a Walk in the Park…

A jungle full of dinosaurs! People running around screaming! Huge beasts killing things and fighting each other! Killer pterosaurs feeding people to their young! A giant lizard with a fin on his back! No plot. These are the things that make up a campy little Dinosaur movie. Who said they didn’t make these things anymore?

Dr. Alan Grant (you know, the paleontologist guy from the first movie), is chartered to show a couple of tourists around for a fly-over of Isle Sorna (Site B, the second island, keep in mind the first was supposedly carpet-bombed). Well obviously their plane crashes and they are stuck on an island full of dangerous dinosaurs! As it turns out the couple where actually looking for their son, who was stranded there. Well they of course find him and get off the place, after the minor characters are eaten and after running around being chased by dinosaurs of course! It was a fun vacation.

This movie does have a plot, but it’s only a small one that is only big enough to hold the movie together. Basically the movie is an hour and a half thrill ride with one dinosaur attack after another! They did have time to squish in a larger plot, it’s a short movie, but I guess they decided they didn’t need it! There are dinosaurs everywhere, and they take up practically the whole dang thing! There are in all actuality more dinosaur scenes then any of the previous two movies, and more dinosaurs to! It has brachiosauruses, anklyosauruses, triceratopses, stegosauruses, parasaurolphises, corythosauruses, compsognathuses, and of course, velocoraptors. They even decided to throw in pteranodons (who aren’t technically dinosaurs but who cares?), not to mention a tyrannosaurus rex, a ceratsaurus, and even a spinosaurus! Now spinosaurus is actually the main dinosaur in this movie (he’s on the cover); they figured on adding something new that would rival the T-Rex. In the process he kind of ended up being a mutant freak (he actually has some baryonyx in him, such as the mouth and claws), but then again it makes sense for genetically created things. And there are many cool action packed scenes with everything!

First there’s the scene where the spinosaurus crashes the plane, and then it chases after the people and eats two of em. Then they come across the T-Rex, and the two giant therapods decide to try to kill each other (territorial dispute perhaps). After a cool battle that ends way to quickly, spinosaurus is the victor (even though his wimpy jaws have no chance at snapping T-Rex’s strong neck)! Well then you got the sub-plot with the raptor eggs, which of course makes the people be chased by raptors throughout the movie. And then you got the really cool scene with the "bird cage". The whole thing with the "Attack of the Pteranodons" is actually something that was found in the original Jurassic Park book, and was suppose to be in "The Lost World", but they kind of put it off until now. Oh and you got things with the spinosaurus chasing people and then there's that underwater battle in the river and the thing with the raptors and then it ends.

OK, a shriveled up little plot, a lame ending, and the whole thing is corny. Still, it is a very fun and funny roller-coaster thrill ride with a ton of cool dinosaurs! And of course the special effects are great, better then the last two even (they’ve been practicing). It’s a really spectacular great looking movie that makes you alternate between awe and AAAH! It’s fun, it’s campy, it’s a good ol’ dinosaur movie you wanna watch again and again because it leaves you feeling all hyped up about things. Basically it’s a modern-day really-fun dinosaur flick that ends the trilogy on a high note. Oh, and Barney is in it.

The best dinosaur special effects ever done!

A good plot (what little it has).

Tons upon tons of dinosaurs.

Lot’s of cool action packed scenes.

The "worth-the-wait" pteranodon sequence.

A fun thrill ride of a campy dinosaur flick.

Way, way, way better then "The Lost World: Jurassic Park".

No noticeable climax.

Cool, they're fighting… it’s over already?

And suddenly… the movie ends… lamely to… but not a good lame.

A "conservative plot" (basically it’s just barely enough glue to hold everything together).

BARNEY!!!
