In the low tradition of knockoff horror flicks best seen (or not seen) on a drive-in movie screen, Steven Spielberg's sequel to Jurassic Park is a poorly conceived, ill-organized film that lacks story and logic. Screenwriter David Koepp strings along a number of loose ideas while Jeff Goldblum returns as Ian Malcolm, the quirky chaos theoretician who now reluctantly agrees to go to another island where cloned dinosaurs are roaming freely. Along with his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) and daughter, Malcolm has to deal with hunters, environmentalists, and corporate swine who stupidly bring back a big dino to Southern California, where it runs amok, of course. Spielberg doesn't seem to care that the pieces of this project don't add up to a real movie, so he hams it up with big, scary moments (with none of the artfulness of those in Jurassic Park) and smart-aleck visual gags (a yapping dog in a suburb mysteriously disappears when a hungry T-rex stomps by). A complete bust. --Tom Keogh

 Good Effects, Not Much Else - Very Disappointing June 24, 2009
CFH (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA)
The second Jurassic Park movie, "The Lost World", was a huge let down from the first movie Jurassic Park (Widescreen Collector's Edition). While sequels seldom live up to the original movie, this one miss the mark by a wide margin. About the only thing to recommend about the movie are the outstanding CGI effects, everything else was poorly conceived and executed.
This movie centers around Dr. Malcolm (played heavy handed by Jeff Goldblum) as he tries to rescue his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) from more of Hammond's (brief appearance by Richard Attenborough) dinosaurs. There is also a brief appearance of Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello (Hammond's grandchildren from the first movie), but sadly they really play no part in this movie. What we get instead is Dr. Malcolm's young daughter (not a bad actress at all, but laughable casting) as a plot device to provide more incentive for the main characters to be heroic.
While most moves require some suspension of disbelief, this movie has plot holes so large that you could fit a herd of Brachiosaurus through them. All of the characters are caricatures that are so incredibly flat and poorly fleshed out that they act in ways no human would behave in a real life or death situation. The list includes Malcolm's non-stop "I told you so", the experienced field researchers ignoring basic interaction protocols, the daughter's surprising development of Ninja like fighting skills, the evil hunter who only wants to destroy something beautiful, the greedy incompetent corporate executive, and, perhaps most annoying of all, the "Earth First'er" who would jeopardize human life to save an animal. It is bad enough that the movie is tedious, but sadly it is also preachy.
Unfortunately this movie should be watched to get the full Jurassic Park experience, but don't take it too seriously.
Entertaining, But Least Of The 3 JPs May 23, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
Of the three Jurassic Park films, this was the only one I thought didn't match up to the others, but was still entertaining and offered the normal amounts of thrills and amazing special effects.
The dinosaurs are so life-like that they are always fascinating to watch. The baby T-Rex is particularly realistic in this adventure story, as are the little bird-like creatures. The story was so-so. I think a better ending would have been a shot of the big reptile in front of the San Diego skyline, which could set up the sequel of the beast loose in a big city, but the ending was still okay....just could have been better.
Also, there was too much action in here. Some - not a lot - should have been cut out. At a little over two hours, the film can wear you out. Despite the above remarks, it's still a fun-scary-tense thriller and the DTS sound is superb.
Terrible plot April 4, 2009
S. Silver
I own it, my Father likes some of the quirky one-liners but I certianly don't and it lacks the charm of the original. Really bad idea to deviate so much from the well written book.
Fun movie, But almost no resemblance to the book. March 19, 2009
Javier Nolasco
I recently read the book "The Lost World" by Michael Crichton (May he Rest In Peace) And it was a preety good book. I had seen the movie before the film and pointed out the differences. First off wheres Levine? Thorne? Dodgson? What happened to the whole disease thing with the dinosaurs. I could go on and on. But despite the differences Speildberg did what he does best, Make a fun movie.
