Jurassic Park III brings palaeontologist Doctor Alan Grant back face to face with live dinosaurs.  He goes on an expedition with a decidedly odd divorced couple who tells him they are going to fly over the island where InGen wreaked their havoc with genetically recreated dinosaurs.  Of course there is more than meets the eye and the plane lands on Ilse Sorna, the second island (and one that Dr. Grant was never to) and then promptly has an accident stranding five people on the island.  The true reason for the trip was to find the couple's son who was lost while para-sailing just off of the island with his mother's boyfriend. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong but still the group must find the boy and then get off of the island.

Jurassic Park III is much more like the original film than the last sequel.  It is exciting and the characters are well developed and the audience is given to feeling the thrills and chills as these people stumble around fleeing from all manner of nasty carnivorous dinosaurs.  The acting is good, the dialogue was pretty good, and the dinosaur effects for the most part are top-notch.  The locations were quite nice and the musical score was above average.  This is a very good sequel, and a very good movie on its own not really requiring any need to have seen the first or second film although of course I'd recommend seeing the first on its own merits.
