Jurassic Park III is an American dinosaur and action film with thriller elements from the year 2001 by Joe Johnston . It is the sequel to Jurassic Park from 1993 and Forgotten World: Jurassic Park from 1997 and thus the third installment in the Jurassic Park film series . In contrast to the first two films, the third part did not have a book of its own, but the characters and individual scenes are loosely based on the novels DinoPark and Forgotten World by the author Michael Crichton . However, it also joins a far longer list of dinosaur films .
It was released in theaters in the USA on July 18, 2001. In Germany, it was released on August 2, 2001.
action
Four years after the incident in San Diego and Isla Sorna Island and eight years after the events on Isla Nublar , people around the world are aware of the cloned dinosaurs that inhabit Isla Sorna Island . As a preventive measure, Isla Sorna has been a restricted area since then and is constantly guarded by the Costa Rican aviation authority to prevent anyone from approaching the island.
Ben Hildebrand and 12-year-old Eric Kirby take an illegal boat tour to Isla Sorna to take some pictures of the island and its prehistoric creatures. Tied to a boat, they fly with a paraglider in the waters around Isla Sorna . The boat's crew mysteriously disappears, forcing Ben to break the line. He and Eric are drifting towards the island.
In the United States, Jurassic Park paleontologist and survivor Dr. Alan Grant, who made a new discovery about the intelligence of the velociraptors , is struggling to get funding for his research. Grant discusses his discovery of a velociraptor larynx with his ex-girlfriend, Dr. Ellie Sattler. His new discovery and experience in Jurassic Park lead him to believe that the velociraptors were socially highly developed. He believes that if they hadn't become extinct and evolved, their offspring would have become the dominant species on earth. His assistant Billy Brennan uses a 3D printer to print a Velociraptor larynx. Dr. Alan Grant is persuaded by the supposedly wealthy Kirby couple to accompany them as a guide on a sightseeing flight over Isla Sorna , the island of the dinosaurs. When approaching the island, Dr. Grant knocked unconscious in one blow from behind after engaging in a discussion with the kirbys who were about to land on the island despite Dr. Grant had strongly advised against it.
When he wakes up, he notices how the other occupants have spread out on the gravel runway. Mrs. Kirby shouts “Eric” through a megaphone, Dr. Grant tries in vain to stop her. When the roar of a dinosaur can be heard and two bodyguards come running in panic, the troops realize that danger is imminent and they have to flee. When the engines of the machine are running again and the small plane starts rolling, the bodyguard Cooper, who has been left behind, runs onto the runway. The pilot Nash tries in a panic to continue the take-off process. A few meters before the plane reaches the bodyguard, a Spinosaurus appears from the forest and grabs Cooper. The frightened pilot tries to pull up the machine, but with it touches the dinosaur on the back. The plane crashes in the forest. The occupants remain uninjured, but, trapped in the plane wreck, are exposed to another attack by the spinosaur. The pilot Nash is torn from the wreck and eaten by the dinosaur after a long fight. The remaining inmates flee from the Spinosaurus. On the run, they encounter a carrion-eating Tyrannosaurus Rex , which immediately hunts the group. However, the Tyrannosaurus now sees itself attacked by the Spinosaurus. While the Spinosaurus kills the Tyrannosaurus, the group manages to escape again.
As a result, Grant and his assistant Billy Brennan confront the Kirbys and learn that the two are neither rich nor married, but divorced and barely wealthy. The only reason they had wanted to land on Isla Sorna was to find their missing twelve-year-old son Eric there. This has been missing for eight weeks since a paraglider excursion on the island's coast. Grant tells the Kirbys that he has never been to "Plant B" and that their son is almost certainly no longer alive. He advises making their way to the coast - a decision the Kirbys are reluctant to join. On the way, the group finds the boy's paraglider and video camera, which at least shows that Eric was able to land alive on the island. Ben's skeleton was found in a paraglider.
When the group reaches the former research center, the Kirbys hope to find their son there. Inside the building, however, the group is attacked by a Velociraptor . When the dinosaur was temporarily locked in a cage, Grant found that the intelligent velociraptors could communicate with each other and request help. As they flee outside, the group is followed by a whole pack, whose attack the bodyguard Udesky does not survive. Grant is separated from the rest of the group, but meets Kirby's son Eric, who uses tear gas grenades to save him from the velociraptors. Both of them then save themselves in Eric's hiding place, an overturned old tanker truck, where they spend the night. Eric tells Dr. Grant from his experience with the dinosaurs. In the morning they both leave the hiding place and go in search of Eric's parents, who they then find, whereby the group is reunited.
The escape to the coast is made more difficult by another attack by the huge Spinosaurus. Billy Grant admits that he stole a few eggs from the velociraptors to finance their research. They realize that that's why the dinosaurs target the group. On the further escape, Eric is caught by a pteranodon . Billy comes to his aid with the paraglider and can free Eric, but is now abducted by a pteranodon himself. The remaining group comes across a river and continues their escape with a motorized raft . While driving, they hear the satellite phone ringing, which is found on the bank in a pile of Spinosaurus dung. The dinosaur had swallowed the phone along with a team member. While Grant tries to get Dr. Calling Ellie Sattler, the group on the raft is attacked again by the Spinosaurus. Grant just manages to tell Ellie that they are in dire straits. Then the group is pushed underwater by the Spinosaurus. Fuel is leaking from the motor of the raft. While Kirby succeeds in distracting the Spinosaurus, Grant ignites the fuel floating on the water with a signal pistol , and the resulting fire drives the Spinosaurus away.
The group continues their escape on foot. When they can already hear the roar of the ocean, they are circled again by the velociraptors. Only after Amanda Kirby has returned the eggs to the dinosaurs and Grant uses the Velociraptor larynx model to confuse the pack does the group make it safely to the coast, where they are met by US Marines who also rescued Billy. Finally, from the helicopter, they watch three pteranodons leave the island and fly off into the sky.
background
- While the first two parts are based on works by Crichton, the third film version is a production without a literary template. However, the storyline that exists in the original DinoPark novel , relating to the trip on the river and the meeting with the pterosaurs, is used here. However, the Tyrannosaurus was replaced by the Spinosaurus.
- As soon as the first part was released, director Joe Johnston asked Spielberg whether a sequel was planned and whether he could direct it. Spielberg wanted to fill this position himself for the second part, but finally signed him for the third part. In addition, at the beginning of the filming of the second part, Johnston was still busy with the completion of Jumanji , which had been delayed.
- This time John Williams did not contribute the score to this film, but his substitution by Don Davis makes ample use of the well-known music themes (and even more inconspicuous motifs) of the first part, while the music from the second part - both thematically and instrumentally - is not taken into account.
Evolution of the dinosaur
- Instead of the Tyrannosaurus as the “main villain”, the Spinosaurus appears , which is represented as a much wilder, larger and more dangerous killing machine. This is also underscored by the fact that the Spinosaurus kills a T-Rex relatively casually.
- The raptors, which are shown too large as in all previous films, are, according to the new theories of the paleontologist Jack Horner , represented much more intelligently; they have a highly developed resonance chamber and thus precise communication and social interaction. To what extent this corresponds to reality, however, is controversial among researchers.
- After the filming of Forgotten World: Jurassic Park , raptor fossils were discovered during recent scientific excavations, in which the beginnings of feathers could be reliably detected. Based on these new findings, the previous appearance of the raptors in the film has been revised. This is the reason why in Jurassic Park III , unlike in the first two parts of the series, raptors can be seen for the first time, wearing scattered feathers in the area of the head.

reception
Reviews
“For the first time without the creative duo Steven Spielberg (director) and Michael Crichton (author), Jurassic Park 3 relies on the recipe of its predecessors. Even if the plot provides few new ideas and comes to an abrupt end after a surprisingly short running time, part 3 also lives well from the action sequences and its visually unchanged fascinating primeval protagonists. "
“Jurassic Park 3 is like a visit to McDonald's: You know what's on the menu, but the question of which toy the Happy Meal contains is a surprise. In this sense, the Spinosaur is the Super Big Mac of the dinosaurs, and its winged friends, the Pteranodons, are the Mega Chicken Wings. 'Size matters', 'Godzilla' already knew that. "
“Adventure in the familiar waters of the two previous films, in which the trick technology leaves nothing to be desired. Since the drawing of the characters and the shaping of the characters are completely neglected, at best passable B-picture entertainment. "
“The second infusion of the great success. The originally responsible - writer Michael Crichton and director Steven Spielberg - are no longer actively involved. And some kind of script only exists so that people on a tropical island are positioned so that they can be hunted by even more dinosaurs. Within this framework: handsome. "
Gross profit
Jurassic Park III grossed $ 368 million at the box office worldwide. With this result, he could not build on the successes of the two predecessors (914.6 and 618.6 million US dollars). In addition, the film had a production cost of 93 million US dollars, so the third part of the series was the most expensive film to date.
