Director Steven Spielberg takes us back to the disaster at Jurassic Park in The Lost World, the blockbuster sequel with even more dinosaurs, more action and more visual effects than the first record-breaking film. On a nearby island, dinosaurs have secretly survived and been allowed to roam free, but now there is a more ominous threat--a plan to capture and bring the dinosaurs to the mainland. Two groups confront each other in the face of extreme danger and must team up for their own survival in a race against time that will determine the fate of the remote island's prehistoric inhabitants. This classic film will leave you on the edge of your seat...again!
Editor's Note
THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK is director Steven Spielberg's sequel to his original dinosaur thriller. Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) returns for more dino-horror when, four years after the disaster at the would-be amusement park, another expedition is mounted by millionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough). To document the natural behavior of the beasts at a mysterious Site B, Hammond sends a team comprising Malcolm; Malcolm's girlfriend, paleontologist Dr. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore); and a wildlife videographer (Vince Vaughn). They face adversity in the form of a less-than-scrupulous big-game hunter (Pete Postlethwaite) and, of course, the terrible lizards themselves. The film is loosely based on Michael Crichton's novel THE LOST WORLD, which was named after the 1912 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel of the same name. Spielberg proved his determination to alternate making socially conscious films with directing movies of sheer entertainment value; his prior film to THE LOST WORLD was SCHINDLER'S LIST, and he followed the dinosaur adventure with AMISTAD.

"...Dino-mighty effects. These are inconceivably great..." 05/23/1997 p.1DEntertainment Weekly
"...Spielberg gives us many, many dinosaurs...and he choreographs their movements with a magician's sense of play....Good fun: deft, scary, engrossing..." 05/30/1997 p.48-9 New York Times
"...Terrifically entertaining..." 05/23/1997 p.C1 Chicago Sun-Times
"...Spielberg lets his visual wit fly....Enjoyable..." 05/23/1997 p.38 The Austin Chronicle 7 of 10
...fans of the first film won't be disappointed by the sequel... Much of the fun (and there's alot of it) relies on gory black humor... Film buffs will get a kick out of the many in-jokes Spielberg and screenwriter David Koepp has tossed in, including homages to the original King Kong... it is pure Spielbergian fantasy... [it] may just be the perfect Saturday afternoon summer movie. - Mark Savlov
