JURASSIC PARK III (2001)

The island of Isla Sorna has been declared a restricted area and Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) has no intention of ever going there (remember the original film was set on Isla Nublar), but stuff happens and before you can say "Do dinosaurs have ballsacks?" he's once again frolicking among the dinosaurs. And by frolicking, I mean running in absolute terror for his friggin' life!

Along for the terror are William H. Macy and Tea Leoni as two parents in search of their teenage son who disappeared on Isla Sorna eight weeks ago. For the rest of the movie, it's just them and Dr. Grant running around like crazy with dinosaurs snapping at their butt cheeks the entire time. On top of the T-Rex and the raptors from the earlier films we now have a pissed off Spinosaurus and some flying Pteranodons! Oh crap.  Hold on to your buttholes.

Despite Tea Leoni and William H. Macy's matching haircuts, I really liked this movie and thought it was a fun ride. My favorite scenes are the discovery in the lab and the birdcage. After all the darkness and story overload of the second film, it was nice to get back to a fun and simple chase movie. Also, having Sam Neill back was awesome! He's a great reluctant hero.  Recommended.
