After being persuaded by a wealthy businessman to conduct an aerial tour of Isla Sorna, InGen's second site for a failed Jurassic Park experiment, Dr. Alan Grant discovers the true reason for his invitation. A tragic accident maroons the party of seven, and they must attempt to escape with their lives.

Critics Consensus

Jurassic Park III is darker and faster than its predecessors, but that doesn't quite compensate for the franchise's continuing creative decline.

A roaring success.

The third film is neither as scary nor as serious as the first two. It borrows heavily from its predecessors and the Alien series, and runs out of energy.

2.5/4

Still, JP3 suffers from second-sequel fatigue and lacks a star who can boost its energy.

We've grown too accustomed to computers and puppets defying evolution.

A desultory sequel disguised as a thrill ride.

The dinosaurs are still scary, and the special effects are often grand, but the sense of wonder and awe are gone.

I honestly think it is overhated and sure it wasn't as good as the first 2 but it is still a good movie i hate how the hate on this movie made them stop making anymore for 15 years it's not fair to base a movie on how good it is because it wasn't as good as the other ones.

overhated the spinosaurus is sick and it finding out the T-rex’s weakness because of how long it has had to fight was a cool idea didn’t like the army getting involved at the end though.

I actually quite enjoyed it over all - yes it is way shorter and the story may sound too basic. At least Sam Neill returns. I wouldn't write it off, but don't be blown away by it.

Does deserve the hate. This film is awesome but was the first and only film to break the 2 hour minimum length. Jurassic films need that runtime to display what it needs to in order to be a complete movie rather than feeling rushed.
