    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The effects crew used two hundred fifty gallons of oatmeal to simulate Spinosaur droppings.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 2 mins) Although the depiction of the Pteranodon showcases several inaccuracies (such as having teeth, being able to grab things with their legs, and being excessively aggressive), which, being genetically engineered clones, can be explained, one detail still counts as an error. Namely, no matter how strong these creatures are, they could never lift up and carry a human boy the size of Eric. They would simply plummet towards the ground, since these animals needed to be extremely light-weight in order to stay aloft (a real-life Pteranodon would weigh less than preschool child). Thus the Pteranodon's anatomical inaccuracies notwithstanding, the sequence in question very nearly breaks the laws of physics.
    • Quotes

      Amanda: This is how you make dinosaurs?

      Dr. Grant: No. This is how you play God.

    • Crazy credits
      During the studio introductions, each logo is accompanied by the "ripple-in-the-water" effect and the sound of a heavy footstep.
    • Alternate versions
      Don Davis, the music composer for the film, stated that roughly 20 seconds of footage was cut from the battle between the T-Rex and Spinosaurus. This was mostly made up of the two animals roaring at each other and sizing one another up.

    8/10
    Always slightly under rated compared to the squel
    I have always felt this movie was better than the second although not as good as the original. This movie is defiantly more in-touch with the original than the second. The characters are likeable and the plot works. The ending though feels rushed, almost like they ran out of budget. Having Sam Neil back in the driving seat improves the film vastly. A Sunday viewing classic worthy to have been the sequel.
