Factual errors: There are numerous instances where dinosaurs are portrayed in a manner inconsistent with widely published dinosaur hypotheses. In mitigation, since much of the hypotheses are not yet theory, some artistic license must be allowed. more

Much Better Than Its Reputation; Short & Fun, 15 May 2006
8/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

First of all, this final episode in the Jurassic series did not deserve all the bad reviews it got when it was released. In fact, it was a lot more enjoyable than the stupid second JP. Did it equal the first? No, of course not. The original story was easily the best of the three, but I found this an enjoyable movie and far better than what I had been led to believe.

The filmmakers were smart in making this a short film. People had seen plenty of the dinosaurs by now so let's no overdo it...and they didn't with an film just under an hour-and-a-half (not including the final credits.).

That made this short-and-sweet. We saw some new reptiles, had a few scares, enjoyed the beautiful jungle scenery (filmed in Hawaii) and - bang - it's over. The characters were fine, nobody totally annoying as in the second film. The lulls featured a family getting back together and finding their missing teen. Nothing wrong with that.

A good story unfairly maligned and nice, short evening of entertainment.
