PLOT SUMMARY

Four years after the catastrophic events at Jurassic Park, Ian Malcolm finds himself on 'Site B', a second island where the dinosaurs were bred before being taken to Isla Nublar. He's gone in search of his lover, Dr. Sarah Harding, who has gone to the island ahead of him to help John Hammond document the dinosaur population before his business rivals - including his nephew who has taken over control of his company - get there. But when Malcolm and his team arrive, they find that they're too late and a group from InGen are also there hoping to take some of the creatures back to San Diego and a new Jurassic park...

A disappointing follow-up to Jurassic Park (1993) that shares all of the original's faults but none of its virtues. Irritating characters abound and it's all too often a relief when they fall foul of the rampaging dinosaurs. There's no longer the surprise of seeing the computer-generated dinosaurs - which are admittedly very good - and instead we're forced to focus on a script that simply doesn't hold water.
