Return

Jurassic Park 3- This is a movie that wants to get the job done and then get you back home in time to catch Will and Grace. It delivers.

The plot and dialogue are, um, lean (efficient?) but at least we are spared more tedious droning to the effect that non-linear equations have proven that natural habitat zoos are impossible in principle.

The super cute wonder kid is not as obnoxious. None of the heroes are "idealistic" environmental terrorists. The allegedly smart people do not behave like complete imbeciles. The leading guy occasionally does something besides stand around and whine about danger.

And the trailer for B.C. is really cool.

I would warn that for some reason the showing I saw was packed with little kids (really little, like 4 and 5 year olds) so if you're bothered by a running commentary of kindergarten voices, see a late show. (Wasn't there a time in history when parents who could not shut their children up actually removed them from the scene, rather than inflicting said noisiness on everyone else? And since when is Jurassic Park 3 a kids movie?)
