Summary: The #1 DVD to buy on my list!
Review: For those seaking huge long dramatic movies with complex, Oscar-winning scripts and plots...you're looking at the wrong movie! Jurassic Park III is awesome! I don't know what the hell is wrong with you people who are giving this bad reviews! JP3 has got some awesome action, and this is a great DVD to add to your collection. For those who loved the first, you will like this one. For those who loved the second, you may be disappointed. But for those who loved the first AND second...you'll be in heaven with this one!

JP3 stars Sam Neill as his recurring role of Dr Alan Grant who claims that no heaven on earth could get him to go back on the island of Jurassic Park. When a rich couple, Paul and Amanda Kirby (William H. Macy & Tea Leoni), pay Grant a large sum of money to take them across the island of Isla Sorna (site *B* where the Lost World took place) for their honeymoon, Grant reluclantly agrees as long as they don't land on the island and just fly across it on the plane. Grant brings his new paleontologist partner, Billy (Alassandro Nirvonna) along for the ride. But as they fly across the island, Grant notices that the Kirbys have worried expressions on their faces and keep staring out the windows, as if they were searching for something. Finally, a huge dinosaur pops out of nowhere onto the scene and completely destroys their plane...the two pilots get eaten and the foursome just barely manage to escape. Now, Grant, Billy, and the Kirbys are stranded on the island. They soon confess to Grant and Billy that they are divorced and that the real reason why they wanted to come here in the first place was to look for their missing son, Eric Kirby (Trevor Morgan), who got stranded on the island a few weeks ago while para sailing with Amanda's new boyfriend. Grant and Billy agree to go searching for Eric, but warn the Kirbys that Eric is probably dead. But finding Eric is just the beginning and not their biggest problem. Their biggest problem is getting off the island...alive.

Though the plot may seem cheesy and lame, the movie itself is not. I saw this movie on opening night in the theaters and absolutely loved it! The acting is great, the special effects are absolutely stunning. Why shouldn't the producers show off what they can do with special effects? The dinosaurs look so real. This is an awesome DVD, too with great special features such as the making of JP3, cast & crew interviews, the setting of JP3, and more! I can't wait to buy this DVD. You shouldn't pass this movie up if you love action flicks. You'll totally regret it if you do!

You have to see it.

Summary: Honest review
Review: Well, JP3 is a decent flick. First time I saw it I was completely blown away. The second time however it wasn't that great. Still the action sequences are amazing. ILM really outdid themselves on the dino effects. But the comic relief starts to wear thin already the second time round, and well, the story isn't that great. It works though, just don't pay too much time to details. Sam Neill is good, as is Bill Macy (as always, one of my favorite actors). So, the best thing to do is rent this, and decide for yourself whether to buy this or not. I don't know about the DVD extras, guess you'll need to find that out for yourself.
All in all JP3 is a fun movie, but don't expect mindboggling plots or something.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining last of the series.
Review: The adventure takes a savage turn when famous palaeontologist Dr. Grant (Sam Neill) agrees accompany a wealthy explorer (William H. Macy) and his wife (Tea Leoni) on an aerial visit of Isla Soma, the old prehistoric animal bredding park. When the plane crashes, Dr. Grant & the Passengers have no choice but to face the creatures on the island, which are far more dangerous and vicious than they could ever imagine.

This is almost better than the Orignal but is much more better than the Flawed sequel-The Lost World:Jurassic Park. Steven Spielberg is surely miss as the director chair of the first two films but Filmmaker Joe Johnson (Jumanji, The Rocketeer) did an fine job directing the last in the series. The two flaws is too short and a bit too much humor but the film Visual Effects & Action-Adventure is non-stop. DVD has an great anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an cool sounding Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound (Also in DTS 5.1 Surround Sound). The DVD is Packed with Extras. Jurassic Park 3 is the most violent in the series. Grade:B+.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: lost of fales info but pretty cool
Review: Well my title says it all this movie contains lots of Lies. For one the directors chose to put the t-rex in the first film (the t-rex was the largest and strongest carnivorr of all time) then they completly cut it from the 3 movie but with one exepction were the t-rex and the spionsaurs fight. The t-rex was made alot smaller in that scene and it would have won in real life. The fact that they took a dino that was much smaller than the t-rex and almost doubled it's size is not that smart because the spinosaures only ate fish makeing it's body not muscluar at all. If they were smart they would have started with the spinosuras and then the t-rex in the 3 movie. However dispite that very very dumb scene this move was still pretty good. Being a dino expert I loved these movies. One this however they could have added to teh movie this is one of the shortest movies I have ever seen. They oucld have sdded the best dino that got cut form this movie. the diloposarus (bad spelling) but they were orinanally going to have it appere in this movie but cut it. that had to be on eof the besst dino's that they cut along with that they added a red dino that the cast could have meet up with again. However the ending kinda told you that they are going to make another jurassic park. Aperently with a bigger dino that the t-rex and the oversized spinosaurs. but overall this movie would have been alot beeter with out the t-rex and spion fighting and wth more of the t-rex in it ( I am sounding like a broken record) but there is somthing more scary about haveing this huge dino look at you and you are not suposed to move. C'mon the t-rex was much scaryer admit. But at least the special effects were awsome!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than The Lost World.
Review: Let me start off by saying that I am a major fan of the original Jurassic Park. I thought the story was original, the plot was exciting, and the acting was excellent. Then The Lost World: Jurassic Park II came out. I was disappointed to say the least. It was a bastardization of the entire series. With this said, I did not have high expectations when going to see Jurassic Park III.

However, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the film. It is by no means as good as the first film, but it still provides a enjoyable movie experience. Sam Neill returns as Dr. Alan Grant and Laura Dern returns with a small role as Dr. Laura Satler. William H. Macy and Téa Leoni play somewhat annoying roles as a couple that hires Dr. Grant to take them on an tour of Isla Sorna (the island from the second film) via air plane. Of course they all end up on the island, and have to find an escape before they become dinosaur food.

Yes, the plot might not be original, but do not let that deter you from seeing the movie. The movie itself is considerably shorter than the previous films. An hour-thirty minutes compared to the other films running times of just over two hours each. This provides just enough time to really enjoy the movie before you might start to get bored with it (much like JP2).

The acting was excellent overall, especially by Sam Neill. The story was good. They kept the characters on the island for this film (No stupid dinosaurs in the middle of San Francisco this time). Basically the only problem I had with the film was that they made the kid smarter than the adults, much like in the first two films, but not to the extent that it was in the Lost World. Too much of the "kid saves the day" syndrome is going through the heads of Hollywood screenwriters these days.

Anyway, the flaws in this film really are minor, and I would recommend this film to any Jurassic Park fan. I enjoyed this film and look forward to watching it again. This is the movie The Lost World should have been. If you are new to Jurassic Park, definately start with the first (which is still the best). Otherwise rent or buy this movie to add to your collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good not great film, real good DVD
Review: This is my least favorite of the Jurassic Park films. Story line could have been better & they needed a "female" character in the film, not the one pretending to be an exwife & mother in it. Real good extras on the DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Silly movie, Great DVD (Score for DVD as a whole, not movie)
Review: The fact that a movie is made to be a summer blockbuster shouldn't mean that it can be dumbed down and accepted because of that.
I heard this was better than 2, and after watching am trying to figure out what was good. The actors horrendous; the dialogue absolutely laughable (and you will, although it's not intended to be funny when you laugh); the story prety much non-existant; the dinos looked worse to me; and a whole series of situations that if happened in the first 2, would've cashed out the people trapped on the island, but magically here they get by.
Oh well. Movie is not too good. The DVD on the other hand has some great stuff you will like. A lot of "making of", behind the scenes stuff, film commentary, tons of stuff. A lot of work went into the dvd itself (video, audio, extras) and will impress you if you choose to get it. The DVD as a whole gets a 4 stars, the movie a 2. It's another example of a movie you get for the extras and skip the film itself for.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie!! Lots of action
Review: IMO this is way far better then both Jurassic Park 1 & 2. The story line is great and theres a make sense plot. Also did I mention the action is all there. You gotta add this one to your DVD collection. I am glad I go this one!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie ROCKS !!!
Review: This is an awesome movie !! I loved it! I failed to see it in it's theatrical release and just finished viewing the DVD. It is superior to the first two installments in some aspects. First of all, the dinos look a bit prehistoric in the the first movie compared to the technology and animatronic dinos in this movie. The two technologies work seamlessly together to create a much more real effect. I loved the fight scene between the two huge carnivorous dinos! What an amazing feat that was! Where the movie lacks in plot, it makes up for again and again with the spectacular live action dinosaurs and SGI. This DVD is a MUST HAVE to complete (for now) your Jurassic Park collection. It is a non stop thrill ride that never lets up! It gets going MUCH faster than JPII, and keeps delivering until (almost) the final scene. This is where the movie FAILS. It was quite a dissapointment to see the movie end the way it did. I was really expecting a final, edge of your seat confrontation between man and dino like the first two movies delivered. But this one ends on a sour note. The overall movie, with all it's great effects deserves 5 stars, while the ending would be lucky to deserve 1 star. Still, buy it, you will love it. This movie ROCKS!
