In this follow-up to the blockbuster hit "Jurassic Park", a research team was sent to the site B island of the park to study the dinosaurs there. Suddenly, some carnivorous dinosaurs are loose in San Diego.
Review:
This picks up directly after the events in the first "Jurassic Park" film. While not as good or memorable as it's predecessor, the film still delivers some enjoyment and has it's qualities.
The story, while not terribly necessary after how the first film ended, is interesting and quite thought out. It has more of an expansion of the "Jurassic Park" world, which is pretty neat.
Just like in the first film, Spielberg did a good job directing. The special effects, while not exactly "ground breaking" are neat and impressive. It still keeps the neat blend of practical effects and CGI that makes the dinosaurs believable.
While it does not feature anything new, it has some thrills and intense moments and there was not a moment where I was bored with it.
There are a couple of problems that I had with the film. One of them is that, as a sequel, it seemed a bit tedious, given that the ending to the first film was conclusive and did not really need to be continued beyond that point. The other problem is that other than being set at a different location and expending the world, it did not have much new to offer.
Overall, The Lost world takes a bit of a ridiculous turn, but in the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the film for what it is. Plus, it's got dinosaurs attacking San Diego. Who would not want to see that?
Max Scale:
7/10
