Dr. Alan Grant is now a happy man with the previous incidents of Jurassic Park now behind him. Grant is that happy that he announce in public, that nothing on Earth can persuade him back onto the islands. Maybe nothing, except Paul Kirby. Kirby and his wife, Amanda want a plane to fly them over Isla Sorna, with Dr. Grant as their guide. But not everything Kirby says is true. When the plane lands, Dr. Grant realizes that there is another reason why they are there, that he doesn't know of. Now, Dr. Grant is stuck on an island he has never been on before, with what was a plane journey now turned into a search party.Written by

Goofs
(at around 48 mins) Eric has a bottle of Tyrannosaurus urine, which looks like the typical green liquid most people think of when they hear the word urine. However, this kind of urine is only produced by mammals, because they are the only animals that have both kidneys that are complex enough, and also a physical barrier between urethra and anus. Every other vertebrate makes nearly solid "urine" and releases it mixed with its feces. See more »

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.
