If you loved the charismatic Doctor Ian Malcolm of the first film, then get ready for him to take centre stage, and immediately have every interesting character trait stripped away! Did the original have you believing dinosaurs walked the Earth with its seamless blend of practical effects and groundbreaking CGI? Too bad! That's gone too! Sense of wonder? Poof! Marvel as each and every actor phones it in over an absurdly bloated runtime in: _Jurassic Park II_! I mean, _Jurassic Park II: The Lost World_... I mean, _The Lost World_! I mean, _The Lost World: Jurassic Park_ for some damn reason. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
Actually where you're going is the only place in the world where the geese chase you! The Lost World: Jurassic Park is directed by Steven Spielberg and adapted to screenplay by David Koepp from the novel written by Michael Crichton. It stars Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethwaite, Vince Vaughn, Richard Schiff, Peter Stormare, Vanessa Lee Chester, Arliss Howard and Harvey Jason. Music is scored by John Williams and cinematography by Janusz Kamiński. Four years on from the horrors of Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar, it transpires that there is a second dinosaur site on Isla Sornar. Dr. Ian Malcolm (Goldblum) is forced to head off to face the horrors once again when he learns that his paleontologist girlfriend, Sara Harding (Moore), is already on the island as a forerunner to a team John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) is assembling to document the dinosaurs in their habitat. Once there, though, the problems soon arise, especially when a team from InGen arrive with other ideas about the dinosaurs on their minds. Given the massive success of Jurassic Park in 1993, a sequel was inevitable. What transpires is pretty much more of the same, it's very safe film making by Spielberg. Coming off of the emotional exertions of his last film, Schindler's List, few can deny that the director was entitled to wind down with The Lost World project, there was after all nothing safe about Schindler's, but although Jurassic 2 is a hugely enjoyable family blockbuster, a jazzy bit of hi-tech fun, it lacks the requisite brains to make it an inspiring sequel. Formula follows the same path, humans in peril on the island, with some added and new dinosaurs (double T-Rex a bonus), and then the "twist" in the narrative sees some monster peril come to San Diego, King Kong style, for the finale. There's inter fighting between the good dudes led by Malcolm and the bad guys led by the weasel Peter Ludlow (Howard) who is Hammond's conniving nephew and current head of InGen. Family issues also feature, of course since this is Spielberg after all, while the dangers of tampering with science message remains as strong as ever. Cast are ably led by a witty Goldblum, who is a reassuring presence carried over from the first film, and the tech-credits are as expected, very high. Some scenes soar, such as a sequence shot from under a pane of glass that starts to crack under the weight of a character, others not so, such as having Malcolm's teenage daughter turn into Nadia Comăneci for one credulity stretching scene. But all told it's an honest blockbuster purely aimed at the target audience who helped to see it make over $600 million in profit. Safe often pays you see, and as sequels go it's one of the better ones in the 90s. It's exciting if intellectually stunted. 7/10
MORE REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/ The Lost World definitely didn't deserve its originally bad reception. Sure, it's far from the incredible 1993's Jurassic Park. Less interesting character arcs and overall (silly) story. However, it remains fun enough with equally memorable dinosaur sequences. Goldblum rocks. Rating: B-
I feel I should point out that my overall positive review is based on entertainment value and not at all on scientific accuracy and the like. This sequel mirrors a few of the winning elements from the successful first movie: they retain Ian Malcolm, who is one of the highlights of the first film; they bring in a child, because it is much more dramatic to endanger children; they have at least one bad guy who we root for to become Dino-dinner; and there are plenty of action sequences with heart-stopping chases and hair-raising escapes. Several of the great one-liners are again given to Ian. My favorite line for all the Jurassic movies occurs early on. After they watch the cute Triceratops herd pass closely by them, Ian says, “Well yeah, ooh and ahh; that’s how it always starts, but then later there is running and then screaming.” And four years after the first movie, they have learned one thing from other action films: increasing the body count. Why kill of a handful of people when you can easily send a large team in to capture the dinosaurs and start picking them off one at a time? They even have a T-Rex wandering the streets of San Diego like King Kong at the end. So it sticks to the formula with a few variances and is entertaining.
Now they are trying to recover from the devastation that happened from the 1st one. This movie is pretty boring and not much happens.
The other 2 star / 40% review of this movie is on point. The Lost World: Jurassic Park sucks on so many levels. I had Jurassic Park 1 on repeat for nearly 24 hours and every time I sat down I had a laugh or a feeling of awe or excitement. Jurassic Park 1 is truly a marvel. Apart from the squealing, the characters are well written and well acted. The casting is amazing, even the kids, and it's so WOKE I oughta give it a 10/10. _Actually, I think I will._ This time around it's all trash. Malcolm returns but the off-putting charisma that made him "beloved" is dulled. The kids return for a cameo but get replaced by Malcolm's daughter who... exists like Stacker Pentecost's son apparently exits in Pacific Rim. She does basically nothing for the majority of the movie. I'm not one to hate on kids unless they're insufferable but she kinda embodies the reaction I had throughout this movie, which is "this is pointless". Pointless movie, nothing happens, sure some folks get nommed but no one cares because they're all kinda stupid and useless except for the first guy who gets nommed _who I'm almost certain mentioned the Rexes left the area_. I've never seen Julianne Moore smile so much. Her character, Sarah, is fine up until Sarah and Nick do the "no good deed" _with a lot of unnecessary stupid_ that results in the events of this movie. Unlike the normal fare, I don't have an issue with women or feminism so her little quip about not needing Malcolm to save her at the start of the movie before everything goes awry doesn't phase me. She went there not expecting events to unfold the way they did, and by events I mean Ludlow. Anyway, back on topic. There isn't much else to say except just re-watch Jurassic Park 1 five times and you'll likely have a better time than watching any of the five sequels. P.S.: Can anyone explain the ship? Anyone at all? I know what the script says was supposed to happen but that's not what we get in the movie and the movie makes no sense whatsoever. 4/10 is too generous for this trash. I should reduce my rating. This was so disappointing after watching Jurassic Park 1 on repeat over the course of 24 hours.
