Juarssic Park III (2001) - 7/10

Jurassic Park III is the only film in the trilogy to have a commentary so I decided to check it out this afternoon. Stan Winston and the special FX team over at ILM have a great conversation during the film discussing design of the new dinos to how director Joe Johnston was also an artist for the movie creating great paintings to incorporate into the background. The movie is definitely the weakest but still a fun ride, bringing back some of the previous characters while also bringing it into a different story of finding a missing kid. I love the special fx of the spinosaurus fight with T-Rex and some of the action scenes in the water but in the end there's too many cheesy lines to salvage this one. It was cool to listen to Winston talk about when it would change from real mechanical dino into the CGI ones, implementing a new technology of doing it within the scene with seamless branching and compositing. Fun movie to turn your brain off and I got some sense of the evolution of the series and how they did some of the cool shots.
