7.5/10
The second installment of Jurassic Park, The Lost World is once again based on Michael Crichton's novel. Four years after the incident on Isla Nublar, a family happens to be on a nearby island, Isla Sorna, on a vacation when their young daughter is attacked by a horde of dinosaurs. She survives the attack and her parents sue InGen back home. Jon Hammond (Richard Attenborough) then meets Mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Golblum) and explains to him that Isla Sorna was the former location used by InGen to clone dinosaurs but after it was destroyed by a hurricane the whole setup was moved to Isla Nublar. InGen now led by Peter Ludlow (Arliss Howard) wants to capture a dino of their own and Hammond wants to stop them by sending a team including Ian to gather support against human interference. Ian at first reluctant but then accepts as his girlfriend, Dr. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore), is also at the site. Ian upon reaching Isla Sorna discovers the dangers and the film making turns into a desperate survival, on the other hand Peter and his hunters struggle to capture a baby T-Rex. Instead they capture a life size grown up T-Rex and ship him to San Diego where he gets loose and goes on a wild rampage across the city.The overall Movie was quite average as Spielberg couldn't bring out the best of himself and the direction slacked throughout.
Goldblum and Moore gave a convincing performance but somwhere there was something lacking in the acting.
My favorite part of the Movie is when the T-Rex gives a wild shriek in the city after wreaking havoc.
