Get chased by T. Rex! Oh, wait... Run in the herd of Gallimimus! No, hang on... Marvel at the colors of the Dilophosaur! Damn, just a second...
Okay, none of those things happen in this week's episode, but it's still a Jurassic Park movie, so that counts for something.
This week on The CineMEH Podcast, Josh and Ryan are going back 65 million years to the age of 2001 with Jurassic Park 3, the oft forgotten capstone of the original late 90s science fiction trilogy. We'll rampage through topics like the state of genetic engineering, dinosaur parenthood, and the critical need in stories for there to be payoffs for what the writer sets up. A tonally inconsistent mess with hamfisted dialogue and unexplained story beats, Jurassic Park 3 serves as a case study in what not to do when you want to create a film that revolves around fear, dynamic tension, and consistent science.
Jurassic Park 3 stars Sam Niel, William H Macy, and Tea Leoni, with appearances by a very unethused Laura Dern.
