The Lost World - Jurassic Park (DVD)

...dlb74 * Following the phenomenal success of the original Jurassic Park movie in 1993, it was inevitable that studio execs began to see dollar signs everywhere and so the sequel to JP - The Lost World (also from a novel penned by Michael Crichton) was green lit and hit the big screen in 1997. The problem with making a sequel to a film as enormous as the first Jurassic Park movie was that it would be one hell of a tough act to follow... and The Lost ...
...something that had made the original movie so unique - possibly the fact that we had seen it all before to a degree.
