Storyline
Dr. Alan Grant is now a happy man with the previous incidents of
Jurassic Park now behind him. Grant is that happy that he announce in
public, that nothing on Earth can persuade him back onto the islands.
Maybe nothing, except Paul Kirby. Kirby and his wife, Amanda want a
plane to fly them over Isla Sorna, with Dr. Grant as their guide. But
not everything Kirby says is true. When the plane lands, Dr. Grant
realizes that there is another reason why they are there, that he
doesn't know of. Now, Dr. Grant is stuck on an island he has never been
on before, with what was a plane journey now turned into a search party.

Movie Reviews
Jurassic Lark III
After reading the
script, I thought that there was at least a chance- however slight- that
this film could be somewhat enjoyable... and it was, for the first 15
minutes. Then came one change after the next, none of which were for the
better. (I won't go into the details but trust me, the script which I
read was far superior and didn't include characters who said "That's a
bad idea" into infinitum.) It's a real shame that such little effort
was put into a film which could have been great, and could have appealed
to people from every walk of life.
As a screenwriter, I understand that what most people are in the market for come summer is a mindless, popcorn-munching flick to simply take them away from life's monotony. That's fine and it's something that writers should be cognizant of... BUT there certainly is a way to make a film that is entertaining to the masses and yet not insulting to its intelligence.
Jurassic Park III is nothing but a B-Creature Feature that's cliched into absurdity. If you want to see a film and be dumber as a consequence, see this movie.
