The third film in a series can be a bit tricky and Jurassic World 3 proves that. Audiences have seen everything before and not only do they want what they loved in the previous outings but you also have to give them something new. Jurassic World 3 succeeds and stumbles in equal measure.

​

Jurassic World 3 reunites us with Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler but they are no longer together which isn't really explained, getting us off on the wrong foot. Dr. Grant is contacted by a wealthy man and his wife to act as a tour guide for a flight over InGen's second dino experiment island. After the plane crashes, the party, led by Dr. Grant must escape the dinosaurs and get off the island alive.

 

Joe Johnson is a great director with a wide array of films under his belt (Jumanji and my favourite Marvel outing Captain America: First Avenger being some of them.) But even he couldn't completely pull off a complete story change days before principle photography commenced. He does an admirable job with it but the story does feel a little choppy and rushed at times.

​

There are some great new dinosaurs with the pterodactyl cage scene one of the films most exciting and nerve wracking. But even though there was great technological leaps in the 7 years since Jurassic Park, some of the blending between the practical puppets and the CGI looks a little off.

​

Jurassic Park 3  is everything you have come to expect from a Jurassic Park film but lacks a little of the inventiveness of the previous outings.
