Jurassic Park III

Jurassic Park III is a straight-ahead matinee actioner, all bark and bite but little soul. The thin plot provides just enough hokum to get a group of otherwise sane individuals onto an island teeming with dinosaurs and then have them spend the rest of the movie running for their lives. And screaming. There's a lot of that, too. Though the human drama has all the subtlety and surprise of a basic fight-or-flight response, the dinosaurs manage to keep things (mostly the human targets they're chasing) moving. The dinosaurs are a combination of computer effects and Stan Winston animatronics, and they look pretty darn good, although no time is allowed (as in Jurassic Park and Lost World) to admire their sheer magnificence and beauty.
