I recently watched all three films again since they were free on YT and Iactually appreciate III more now that I'm much more older. While there were definitely odd spots to complain about regarding the progression of events, there was a definite consistency to the characters that just felt right.
For Christmas years ago, my parents got me the DVD for Jurassic Park 3. I always rewatch it every year or so. I still love it despite some of its flaws
I've always had a soft spot for JP3, I saw it as a kid and loved the Spino. It was truly different, and the story had always been pretty good in my opinion
JP3 is honestly a solid film. Lost World is really confused in its theme and tone, and it has a lot of the problems of the World schlock. 3, despite being fairly campy, works really well. Has a lot of horror elements that sell the danger of the island, and it's built around a theme of broken families coming back together - the obvious parallel being the Kirby family and the raptors. Also has some of the best dialog in any of these. Grant's speech at the symposium, his admonishing of Billy. It's all really good. And yeah, as a kid who was probably way too young to watch this in theaters but did, the Spinosaurus vs. T-Rex fight was mindblowing and anyone who got mad because the T-Rex lost just can't appreciate good spectacle. It's the coolest fight in the franchise, and part of the reason for that is because of how short it is. It really feels like two apex predators duking it out for territory rather than superheroes fighting for the audience. I really appreciate the movie's mystery too. What was Ingen really doing on Sorna? Why was the Spinosaurus made? Questions answered in some of the fun promotional material.
I love its vague ambiguity. I would rather it be remained in text and not some official imagery to reveal what it truly is. Letting run wild our imaginations with descriptive words of what strange creature it is lurking about. It also in is par with how much encounter the characters have with it as much as we the reading audience do. Being not much. The concept of such a creature is so bizarre. From an evolutionary perspective it could very well be in the making just not now nor in our lifetimes.
I much prefer 3 to 2 to be honest. I like all of them, but the third movie really made my imagination go nuts as a kid. I'm also glad they didnt go with corporate espionage as the antagonist again. I like that Billy's concern is ultimately for their work and his mistake is naivety over malice. It fits in well with him being interested in technology to recreate parts of dinosaurs. He is essentially the start of the slippery slope that led to the same mindset of those who recreated dibosaurs in the first place.
@@helisaurus I'd recommend watching the novel breakdown video I just made for the Great Primeval Show channel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rhWGIbQqmjQ.html&lc=UgzBJnwQu-f2uLleCA94AaABAg.A74d7erAlRdA74gqsDBtDV
Actually Dominion might have stole the plot of the land before time the mysterious island Because They have a locusts plage that eat everything And a t rex vs Giganotosaurus fight Infact The Giganotosaurus design in dominion looks heavily inspired by the land before time Giganotosaurus
For all the flack that Spinosaurus gets in this film, I do think I see the reasoning why the film makers went with it. The previous two films had featured T.Rex extensively and with the raptors already a major force in this one, it does make sense that they wanted a change of pace. And obviously they wouldn't want the antagonist of the third film to be a second rater to T.Rex, so it needed to be another giant therapod and of the alternate 'biggest land carnivore ever' candidates known about in the early 2000s, Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus both look fairly similar to T.Rex from the point of view of the average movie goer. Spinosaurus looks strikingly different and in a visual medium, I can see why that would be so important. The only other options I could see them going with is have the pterosaurs be the main antagonist 'dinosaur' or maybe one of the giant crocodiles but as far as I'm aware, it hadn't quite been realised in the early 2000s by even the scientific community how huge the Azhdarchidae got and something like Deinosuchus looks like a giant crocodile, not a dinosaur or prehistoric in quite the way that the Jurassic Park series needs it.
Jurassic Park 3 actually ranks higher for me than The Lost World. I enjoy the first 2/3 of the The Lost World, but the Mainland part is barely watchable for me - ruined the entire film, and almost feels like it was supposed to be a separate film. JP3 at least feels coherent throughout the story, even if there are odd choices made. This was also towards the end of the golden age of cinema, and the mix of practical effects and cgi seems to have aged better than far newer films - including Jurassic World. I also would have to agree that the Spinosaurus roar is incredible sound design. What a sound! Glad im not the only person to appreciate this film!
I think the reused Propalaeleotherium in that promo pic might be meant to represent a juvenile Hippidion, a South American horse from the Pliocene and Pleistocene.
