Review of Jurassic Park III (2001) by Cath N — 07 Jan 2019
Many consider JP3 a failure of epic proportions but it isn't as bad as everyone says. The plot is simple- People get chased and chomped down by Dinosaurs and the film takes no time to get to this. Jurassic Park III lacks a legitimate climax - it sort of ends with a big, deus ex machina bang.
This is in keeping with the film's overall poor structure. It doesn't have much of a beginning, a middle, or an ending - causing me to wonder if there was a finished script before filming started (according to comments made by two of the actors, there wasn't).
The movie vainly attempts to replicate the human relationships of the first two movies: a low-key romance between two adults and a adult/child bonding but none are successful but then characters have never been a strong suit of this series.
The Dino action is decent but we have already seen all of this. Still, if you like Dinosaurs I suggest this movie. (Decent Dino film).
