After being persuaded by a wealthy businessman to conduct an aerial tour of Isla Sorna, InGen's second site for a failed Jurassic Park experiment, Dr. Alan Grant discovers the true reason for his invitation. A tragic accident maroons the party of seven, and they must attempt to escape with their lives.

Critics Consensus

Jurassic Park III is darker and faster than its predecessors, but that doesn't quite compensate for the franchise's continuing creative decline.

A roaring success.

The third film is neither as scary nor as serious as the first two. It borrows heavily from its predecessors and the Alien series, and runs out of energy.

2.5/4

Still, JP3 suffers from second-sequel fatigue and lacks a star who can boost its energy.

2/5

The dinosaurs are still scary, and the special effects are often grand, but the sense of wonder and awe are gone.
