Film: The Lost World - Jurassic Park (1997)

DVD: Anamorphic
The Lost World - Jurassic Park (Widescreen Collector's Edition)

"Don't worry. I'm not making the same mistakes again."
"No, you're making... You're making all new ones."

Review: This is a weak sequel to a great film. I think it's problem is the storyline is filled with supposedly intelligent characters who consistently make the wrong decision at every opportunity. It prevents emotional involvement in their journey as a viewer. The returning character, Ian Malcom, has nothing to do but react to others actions and say, "Don't do that!" or yell, "Run!" I think alot of the action scenes lacked the suspense of the first film. It's fun watching a T. Rex running around downtown San Diego though.

"This is... This is magnificent."
"Oh, yeah. Ooh, ahh! That's how it always starts. But then later, there's running and then... screaming."

"There's a dinosaur in our backyard."

3 out of 5 Stars
