"Jurassic Park III" is an action science fiction adventure film directed by Joe Johnston. It's the third installment in the Jurassic Park film series. The story is about  Dr. Alan Grant who goes to Isla Sorna in order to help parents find their child but meets earlier unknown species of dinosaurs.


Cast
  • Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant
  • William H. Macy as Paul Kirby
  • Téa Leoni as Amanda Kirby
  • Alessandro Nivola as Billy Brennan
  • Trevor Morgan as Eric Kirby
  • Michael Jeter as Udesky
  • John Diehl as Cooper
  • Bruce A. Young as M. B. Nash
  • Laura Dern as Dr. Ellie Degler
  • Taylor Nichols as Mark Degler
  • Mark Harelik as Ben Hildebrand
  • Julio Oscar Mechoso as Enrique Cardoso
  • Blake Michael Bryan as Charlie Degler
  • Sarah Danielle Madison as Cheryl Logan
  • Linda Park as Hannah


The third part of the Jurassic Park film series yields to the first two ones, in my opinion. It doesn't have a direct bearing on the original plot that makes the film a little irrelevant. There are comebacks of such characters as Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Degler but to my regret Dr. Ian Malcolm performed by Jeff Goldblum doesn't appear during the whole picture. And the most ridiculous thing is that dinos looks more realistic in the first parts than in this despite the fact it's the newest of them all.


Advantages
  • The contuniation of the Jurassic Park film series
  • Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant

Disadvantages
  • The story isn't like the previous two parts

"Strangenesses"
  • Why does someone need to boat near the island full of dinos?

Clue Moments
  • Finding of Eric
  • New dinosaurs
