With the apparent public discovery of the 'Site B' production island full of dinosaurs, John Hammond assembles a team to visit and document the area before it is exploited by others.
Included in the four man team are Dr. Ian Malcolm and his girlfriend, Dr. Sarah Harding.
When the team reaches the island, they soon discover the presence of another group of people. This new group however are not there for biological data but instead have something more sinister in mind.
After a series of events, both groups become stranded when all their communication equipment is lost.
It is then that the terror really begins as both groups scramble for their lives....
If ever there was going to be a sequel to a movie, this had to be the one, but the title should have been 'The cool one from Jurassic Park, has his own movie!!'.
And while it's nowhere near as good as the first movie, and even though it has some silly moments, and is a tad overlong, it's still a gripping movie.
The Spielberg magic is still there, it's evident when Moore is laying on the pane of glass and it's cracking, and the grass paths being formed by the Velociraptors in their opening scene.
But obviously the film has many flaws, Vince Vaughn, he's annoying, and then just vanishes before the final act. Goldblum is the star, but it looks like his job here is to say something funny every now and again, moan, and do that thing he did in the original and Independence Day where something happens and he spouts a line (think 'Checkmate').
Postlethwaite is the best thing here, but his subplot is way overlong and completely out of context with the rest of the film.
The final act is good, but doesn't carry the oomph factor we were all expecting.
So all in all it's a fine movie, not the best sequel in the world, but not as bad as the critics make it out to be.
