After the piece of garbage that was "The Lost World", you'd think that no one would've wanted another entry in the Jurassic Park franchise. But you'd be forgetting that Hollywood is addicted to franchises, so of course they made a third movie. Joe Johnston (of "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" and "Jumanji") replaces Steven Spielberg as director. This time, Alan Grant (Sam Neill) leads a group of people to a dinosaur-inhabited island looking for a couple's missing son. You can probably guess what happens thereafter.
All in all, Spielberg - only serving as executive producer here - made the right choice by not directing a third movie (his output in 2001 was "A. I.: Artificial Intelligence", based on a script that Stanley Kubrick was working on but unfortunately abandoned and instead turned out the pointless "Eyes Wide Shut"). I haven't seen any of the entries released after this one, but I can guess what they depict.
Oh, and William H. Macy? In one scene, his character says "my wife". Hearing that made me think of Felicity Huffman, who later turned out to have bribed their daughter's way into college (I suspect that he was complicit in that).
Anyway, not worth your time.
