But even accepting that the first twin T-Rex attack doesnвЂ™t have the novelty value that Jurassic Park was afforded, Spielberg вЂ“ by taking his time and not rushing the sequence вЂ“ finds some brilliant moments. Later in the film, for instance, we get a brilliant overhead shot of humans running through long grass, with the velociraptors darting through. His best dino attack moments focus on humans, and details, as much as CG creatures. Still, this is where Spielberg particularly knows his onions. Two T-Rexes attack, neither вЂ“ it should be noted вЂ“ with the impact of that initial single T-Rex rampage in the first Jurassic Park. Her plan, seemingly to explain to mommy and daddy killer dinosaur that sheвЂ™s just trying to help, seems a little nuts, but that notwithstanding, a bit of chewing gum surgery later, and the shit is ready to hit the fan. Here, though, she brings the dying baby dino into the posh trailer where Ian and his daughter are. It involves Sarah wanting to heal a suffering baby T-Rex.ДЇor the duration of the film to this point, she has shown non-stop intelligence in dealing with dinosaurs. In this instance though, thereвЂ™s a bit of a daft catalyst to the initial attack. When Dinosaurs AttackДЄs with the first film, the main dinosaurs action in The Lost Worldkicks off from just after the 45 minute mark, and doesnвЂ™t relent much from there.

Hammond keeps learning lessons, but never the right ones. Hammond вЂ“ who Crichton originally designed as вЂњthe dark side of Walt DisneyвЂќ (albeit one softened by Spielberg) вЂ“ never quite gets there, at least if his closing words of the film are anything to go by. But heвЂ™s also the man put there to start out wanting to hunt dinosaurs, who ultimately learns points out that killing is not the way forward. His character is another victim of a deleted, and very bloody scene, where he beats someone to a bloody pulp. In the bunch of archetypes that form the InGen team, at least thereвЂ™s the brilliant, late Pete Postlethwaite as hunter Roland Tembo (for this is a film that arguably spends a bit more time characterising its dinosaurs than it does its humans, making us feel more sorry for the creatures than the people). WeвЂ™ll return to that place later in this article, and not with a smile on our faces. The InGen team? TheyвЂ™re capturing animals, to take them off the island, and towards Jurassic Park San Diego. Our вЂheroesвЂ™? They want to document things, or in the case of Malcolm, leave. The concoction that mixes things up is the sudden arrival of a second team on Isla Sorna, and thatвЂ™s one thatвЂ™s been ordered by Ludlow The Corporate Bastard. Malcolm fails to convince Sarah to leave, they have a disagreement, we see dinosaurs, all seems well, yadda yadda. Thus, the speeding through storytelling continues. The difference they face is that the audience know the rules this time, and the characters donвЂ™t. With all this preamble, it takes 21 minutes and 44 seconds of screen time to set foot on the new not-Jurassic Park, and, even without the 45 minutes of education that set up the original film, Steven Spielberg and his team still have some setup work to do.

Naturally enough, David KoeppвЂ™s script finds a way to get MalcolmвЂ™s daughter, Kelly, to the island as well. And The West WingвЂs Toby, Richard Schiff, as Eddie, who may as well pop a red shirt on, so obvious a bit of dinosaur food is he. Bottom line: Hammond has sent three people to Isla Sorna so far.
