action
Four years have passed since the Isla Nublar incident , in which the park there was devastated by dinosaurs and four people were killed. In the former breeding and production facility on the nearby island of Isla Sorna , mentioned in Appendix B , however, several dinosaurs have survived, which after the end of the Jurassic Park project are living freely and without fences in their ecosystem .
Jurassic Park creator John Hammond sees this as an opportunity to ease his conscience: He therefore intends to send a group of researchers to Isla Sorna to document the natural life of the dinosaurs there and to reveal to the world that they also have a right to species-appropriate Have life. Hammond's nephew, Peter Ludlow, who has taken over the helm of Hammond's biotechnology company InGen , also plans to capture dinosaurs on the island and move them to a new Jurassic Park in San Diego .
Dr. Ian Malcolm, who barely survived the Isla Nublar incident, is opposed to the idea of another expedition. However, when he learns in conversation with Hammond that his girlfriend, the biologist Sarah Harding, is already on the island, he inevitably follows her with the rest of the team. That includes the photographer and Earth-First! -Activist Nick van Owen and the engineer Eddie Karr. Malcolm's daughter Kelly is also traveling as a stowaway .
Soon after arriving on the island, the researchers observe the arrival of a large group of big game hunters led by Ludlow and the hunter Roland Tembo, who wants to hunt a tyrannosaurus as a reward for his efforts . Equipped with all-terrain vehicles and lots of material, the hunters quickly succeed in capturing and locking up numerous dinosaurs. The following night, however, van Owen and Harding were able to break into the hunters' camp and free the animals again. The dinosaurs then destroy large parts of the camp and the equipment, including the communication facilities.
Van Owen and Harding also free an injured tyrannosaurus cub that Tembo used to attract the adult dinosaur and take it back to their camp. In their trailer car set up as a research laboratory , they are trying to treat his injuries when the parents of the young animal appear and attack the researchers' camp. Eddie Karr is killed in the process, but is able to save the other researchers through his efforts by preventing them from falling down a steep slope with the trailer. This and Kelly are then picked up by the hunters. The two groups join forces in order to reach the former communication center in the interior of the island together.
The parents are lured again by the blood of the young Tyrannosaurus that sticks to Harding's jacket and attack the researchers 'and hunters' night camp, killing numerous hunters. Tembos attempt to kill one of the tyrannosaurs with his heavy hunting rifle fails because van Owen had secretly removed the cartridges from the rifle. In return, however, he succeeds in immobilizing the male tyrannosaurus with a stun gun.
The group is subsequently decimated on their flight by the remaining tyrannosaurus and several velociraptors . Nevertheless, van Owen manages to reach the communication center and call for help over the radio. Malcolm, his daughter Kelly and Harding can also reach the site. The four are also exposed to the attacks of the velociraptors there before they are picked up by a helicopter. During the departure they see that the stunned Tyrannosaurus has been made transportable. Ludlow also orders that the young animal also be captured and both animals transported to San Diego.
Some time later, the ship with the captured Tyrannosaurus is expected in the port of San Diego. Nobody on board answers the calls from the harbor master's office, and the ship crashes into the port facilities at full speed. It turns out that all the crew members are dead. The now awakened Tyrannosaurus breaks out of the hold and goes in search of his boy, who was transported by plane and is now in an InGen research laboratory. The tyrannosaurus leaves a trail of devastation on its way through the city. Malcolm and Harding rescue the cub from the laboratory and use it as bait to lure the adult back into port. They bring the young animal into the hold and flee. Ludlow, who wants to get the boy back, also climbs into the hold and is placed there by the adult Tyrannosaurus, who has followed his boy and now leaves Ludlow as prey. Sarah Harding stuns the Tyrannosaurus with a tranquilizer arrow while Malcolm closes the storage room lid.
In the end, the tyrannosaurus and its cub are transported back to the island of Isla Sorna accompanied by numerous warships . Harding, Malcolm and his daughter watch on TV as John Hammond announces to the world that if people "just step aside and trust nature, life will find a way."
background
The film only shares basic motifs with the original book, otherwise the author Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg incorporated their own ideas and a few plot aspects of the first book that were not considered in the first film. Especially at the end, the homage to King Kong and other classic monster films emerges.
- The ship with which the T-Rex is transported is called “SS Venture” - based on the name of the fictional ship “Venture”, which brought the giant monkey King Kong to New York in the 1933 film of the same name .
- The man who is eaten by the T-Rex in front of the video store is screenwriter David Koepp . In the credits of the film his role is named "Unlucky Bastard".
- Bernard Shaw has a brief guest role in the film and plays himself in his role as CNN news presenter.
- Joe Johnston applied to direct the film but was behind with the completion of Jumanji . He later directed Jurassic Park III .
- The automobile manufacturer Daimler-Benz used the film to present its new Mercedes M-Class , of which two W 163 models are demolished in the film , just as effectively as the remote-controlled cars in the first part.
- Originally, raptors were also supposed to be transported on the ship and were responsible for the death of the crew after their eruption. Since this scene was never filmed, the situation found with the locked T-Rex and the mangled crew seems incomprehensible and contradictory. Steven Spielberg himself later said that the crew of the "SS Venture" was killed by the velociraptors before they left the island. They left the ship in good time before the autopilot steered it to San Diego.

Reviews
“If a film grosses well over 200 million dollars in the US alone, but only cost 75 million, then no more criticism from the world can harm it. 'Forgotten World', the second dinosaur drama by Steven Spielberg, is no less successful than its predecessor 'Jurassic Park', even more perfect in the trick sequences and just as simple in the dramaturgy. "
“More dinosaurs, better special effects and even more action. But 'Forgotten World' is still just a copy of one of the greatest cinematic money makers of all time. In the first part, despite the thin story and the not yet so perfect tricks, the new and unprecedented turned the film into a huge cinema event, while the sequel is best provided by the advertising drum. "
“Again, cars are flying through the air like toys, the battle lizard Velociraptor gets plenty of food, the approaching T-Rex shakes the woofers of the cinemas. There are crisp scenes, certainly not suitable for minors, when dinosaur jaws confuse people with TV crackers. “Forgotten World” is grippingly impressive and imposing. But as is so often the case, the second part is a weaker infusion: less dense, more carelessly staged and produced. Little survived! The plot is badly schematic in places. As if only the following computer game were advertised: Run, hide, run, hide, run [...] John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), the aged creator and central figure of Jurassic Park, only appears as a dangerously naive fool . His plea for the preservation of natural conditions seems artificial - strange that the film should display such a banality as a 'concern'. If anything wider is said, 'What a mess with these DNA gimmicks; now we let nature take its course in peace. ' Until the next Jurassic Park walk. "
“Actually there is only one open question at Lost World. It is directly related to the usual dramaturgy of the fantastic at Spielberg and could easily be described as a self-deprecating dilemma: Because the tricky point of Lost World arises from the fact that everything else in the Jurassic Park sequel pretty much works by itself (ie by the market and public expectations). [...] The systematic announcement of the fantastic, which at Spielberg becomes an indispensable carrier of tension, loses its necessity and its justification in Lost World - the dinosaurs are world-famous, their abilities are best remembered, their existence has long been based on a quasi-scientific basis. The solution to this problem, which is at the same time a detachment from the Spielberg touch and then again not, is as simple as it is elegant: Lost World simply degrades the memory of its predecessor to an expectation phase. Jurassic Park becomes an absent foreplay, and a few smaller sensations are prepared with the old meticulousness. "
“'The Industry' is what they say in Los Angeles when they talk about the film business - and not by chance: In our society, film, with all the advantages and disadvantages that it brings, is an industrial product. The basis of the industrial revolution is machine production; the central idea behind the machine production is the arbitrary, precise repeatability of a production process. [...] After the thrill mechanisms of Jurassic Park have proven to be effective for an undreamt-of number of people worldwide, a horde of lizard-like eating machines is now being unleashed on the audience to greedily gobble up huge sums of money. [...] 'Jurassic Park' has become more of a trademark than a film title, and The Lost World is more of a repetition than a sequel. [...] But the film has its problems not only on an ideological level. As is the case with machines: the constant repetition of the same process leads to signs of wear and tear. There is a point at which even the most beautiful dinosaur attack loses its appeal, because it is just the so-and-so-many in a long series of beautiful dinosaur attacks. It doesn't help much if Lost World doesn't stop where you would expect it, but shifts up a few revs for the finale and includes Jurassic Park III in a compressed form. The ghost train only turns into a full children's birthday party. [...] The mechanized horror thus finally gets something mechanical itself. Like a ghost train ride that takes too long, at some point you become aware of the tracks that you are forced to follow. And soon you feel like part of a much larger machine that you keep running by responding willingly to the performance. In order to achieve a further level of self-reflexivity, Lost World should consequently have quoted one more film: Chaplin's Modern Times. "
“Motifs from countless models from film history come together to form a technically astonishing film with large and garish effects that provides circus entertainment. Quite a few scenes are too scary and stressful for children. "
Gross profit
The film had a production cost of $ 73 million and grossed around $ 619 million worldwide .
