Jurassic Park III

Jurassic Park 3 is by far the least popular of the series. I'm not going to bother defending it against its predecessors, but I will say that it's still a fun, jungle adventure movie that fits right in here.

Synopsis: Adventure runs wild when renowned paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant agrees to accompany a wealthy adventurer and his wife on an aerial tour of Isla Sorna, InGen's former breeding ground for prehistoric creatures. But when they're terrifyingly stranded, Dr. Grant discovers that his hosts are not what they seem, and the island's native inhabitants are smarter, faster, fiercer and more brutal than he ever imagined...

Yea, there's not much to this movie. This plot could have been 1/4 of the storyline if this movie were to be as good as the first two. JP3 is just a bunch of people running away from dinosaurs in the jungle. Nothing else, nothing more, and there's really nothing wrong with that!

I'm actually not a huge fan of the Jurassic Park movies. I love them as good movies in general, but as Survivor Movies they're weak. They are way too predictable as to who dies and who survives. I would assume this is because they are geared towards older children and families as a whole. Which means they can't get away with killing a family man, a woman, or even a good-looking guy for that matter. With Jurassic Park 3 that's pretty much the entire cast.

Cast:

Erik (Trevor Morgan) and his step-father Ben go para sailing around "Jurassic Park" island (ok, the islands are named Isla Sorna or Isla Nublar but who cares?). When their pilots mysteriously vanish they cut themselves loose and land on the island.




Paul (William H. Macy) and Amanda Kirby (Tea Leoni) are not wealthy adventurers. They're an average, middle class divorced couple with a son who's now lost in Jurassic Park. They pretend to be rich to get the help they need, and seek Alan Grant in particular.



After surviving the first Jurassic Park adventure, Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) has returned to his work as a paleontologist digging up bones. He's bribed into returning to Jurassic Park by the Kirbys with his assistant, Billy (Alessando Nivola).



Cooper, Nash and Udesky, AKA dino-Breakfast, dino-Lunch and dino-Dinner. These guys are hired for protection against the dinosaurs.

First Victim: Step-father Ben. We learn he died before the rescue team lands on the island.

Second Victim: Cooper. He's the first of the rescue group to go when the giant Spinosaurus snatches him up.

Third Victim: Nash. After their plane crashes, the Spinosaurs conveniently decides to kill Nash next.

Fourth Victim: Udesky. After being chased by Velociraptors, Udesky gets injured by a raptor as a trap to lure the other humans. The raptors then snap his neck before running off.

Fifth Victim? Billy. We are led to believe that Billy may have been killed when the Pteranodons peck at him and carry him down the river. Thanks to the test audience disapproval, he comes back at the end of the movie all in one piece.

Survivors: Grant, Paul, Amanda, Erik, and Billy.
