Jurassic Park 3


Plot
Eight years after escaping the dinosaur rampage on Isla Nublar, palaeontologist Alan Grant is shanghaied to abandoned breeding site Isla Sorna by the Kirbys, on a desperate search for their son. When their plane crashes, the 'rescue party' learn that Grant's controversial theory of velociraptor intelligence is correct, as they become they prey...

Verdict
Short, scrappy and intermittently scary, this sequel skews young. It lacks the scale, the chills and the wonder of the original, but is more fun as a thrill ride than its sequel predecessor - and certainly gives good pterodactyl.
