<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Excuse the theft of a Spaceballs joke in the subject, but this is probably one of the poorest excuses for a movie I've ever seen. You walk into the theatre wondering to yourself "Hmm...how are they going to make a third movie about people trapped on an island with crazy dinosaurs and still have some sort of original plot structure?" You soon realize, however, that the answer is in fact very simple: they didn't. The movie is a 92 minute chase scene. Whatever semblance of a storyline it contained was tacked on in a pitiful attempt to make the movie appear as though it wasn't simply a ploy by producers to milk the dinosaur movie fans for all they're worth. This is seriously one of the worst movies of all time. If I wanted to just see CG dinos wandering aimlessly I would watch Walking With Dinosaurs on the Discovery Channel. At least that's fucking free. I must admit, though, the movie did have one redeeming quality, in that they finally put in some fucking pterodactyls. I've been waiting since I first read JP 8 years ago to see some fucking pterodactyls. I'll give them that...but nothing else.

My advice? If you like dinosaurs and special FX, then feel free to watch this movie as long as you're not spending any money or expecting any sort of storyline whatsoever. Also, make sure all knives and firearms are placed safely out of reach as the urge to kill yourself and others will steadily rise as the film goes on.</div>
