 DVD Review: The Lost World: Jurassic Park
"Lost World" was obviously going to be looked at incredibly harshly after the success of "Jurassic Park".
SOUND: The best summary for the sound in "Lost World" is this: take all of the elements that made "Jurassic Park" such an exciting soundtrack, and turn them up to "11".
Making "The Lost World": A nearly one hour look at the making of the film, this documentary is an impressive look at the technology that was improved between the two films and how this was used to make more remarkable, more agressive dinosaurs.

 DVD Verdict Review - The Lost World: Jurassic Park 2
After the phenomenal success of Jurassic Park it was a natural for Steven Spielberg to want to do a sequel, and for the studio to rub their hands together in glee at the thought of making another busload of cash.
Jurassic Park was the sense of wonder and build-up for the dinosaurs.
Jurassic Park did have a story of sorts, and a theme from the early monster films; the mad scientist overstepping his bounds and creating something beyond his control for tragic results.

 The Lost World: Jurassic Park Movie Review at Hollywood Video
It's idiotic!" In just six words, the newspaper perfectly summed up director Steven Spielberg's sequel to his 1993 mega-blockbuster Jurassic Park; it may be a dazzling visual treat and a sporadically thrilling joyride, but it doesn't have an original idea in its saurian little head.
Most of the blame for Lost World's vapid story lies with Michael Crichton, who penned the birdcage-lining-worthy novel upon which it was based.
World starts when lothario mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum, reprising his JP role) is summoned to the office of John Hammond (Sir Richard Attenborough, ditto), the jolly industrialist who created the first film's dinosaur theme park on an island off the Central American Pacific Coast.

 The Lost World: Jurassic Park
After the wonders of Jurassic Park and Schindler's List, Spielberg attempted to repeat the heights of 1993 - and failed badly.
It lacks the atmosphere of Jurassic Park; its misjudged, murky visual style muddies the action and reduces its impact.
The performances are uniformly flat and the plot is perfunctory (a second testing island is run riot by dinos and they have to go back, etc, etc.) A HUGE disappointment.

Like 'Jurassic Park,' 'The Lost World' is much better at pop myth-making and spectacle than it is at character or plot development.

Although the actual gore is minimal, it is scarier than 'Jurassic Park,' the body count is higher, and the overall mood dark.

 DVD Review: The Lost World: Jurassic Park(DTS)
The DTS version of the film, like the DTS version of "Jurassic Park", offers some noticable, but not major improvements over an already very good Dolby Digital edition.
Again, like "Jurassic" DTS I found the general audio quality here to be slightly cleaner, richer and more pleasing to listen to for the length of the film.
This is a very powerful soundtrack at times, and although it's also quite agressive, I liked how none of the sound distracted me from the film - it only brough the environment into the room around me. Again, the DTS version does a bit better job at completely building that seamless environment around the listener.

 the lost world: jurassic park
The original Jurassic Park isn't Steven Spielberg's favorite among his movies, and it isn't mine, either.
One reason I prefer The Lost World is that Jeff Goldblum, a witty but underused supporting player in the first movie, is here pushed to the center, where he belongs.
The Lost World is Steven Spielberg in his ruthless cat-playing-with-a-mouse mode.

After the dinosaur debacle at the Isla Nublar safari park, in which some people were eaten, Costa Rican officials exterminated the creatures.
Arriving in the lost world, no one appears to have been eaten.
After 70 years, the lost world most vividly described by the film is that of the white, male elite, with its closed societies, ample wealth, and chauvinistic sensibilities.

 Review: The Lost World: Jurassic Park   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
When Jurassic Park was released in 1993, it set a new standard for state-of-the-art visual and audio effects.
As a result, much of this movie seems like a retread of Jurassic Park (with a little King Kong thrown in at the end), not because director Steven Spielberg is intentionally copying himself, but because there's really not much more that he can do with the premise.
The Lost World ends up being what a British acquaintance of mine calls "a jolly good romp." It is to this year what Independence Day was to last year -- the summer's single "can't miss" motion picture (or so the advertisers would have us believe).

The film is loosely based on Michael Crichton's novel THE LOST WORLD, which was named after the 1912 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel of the same name.
Jurassic Park was one of the best movies i had ever seen and when i fist saw it i was amazed how good it was.
The idea is that in addition to the island with Jurassic Park on it John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) had a second island, Isla Sorna, where dinosaurs were also being bred and allowed to run around with even more liberty (to wit, no electrical fences or any other barriers).

 VFX HQ: THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK
The most significant advance made by the Industrial Light & Magic team for THE LOST WORLD is their seamless integration of CGI elements in non-static background plates.
JURASSIC PARK revolutionized the use of CGI character animation, and THE LOST WORLD will undoubtedly push the industry to use more dynamic camera movement in plate photography, and use their talents in lighting and matchmoving to seamlessly integrate CGI elements into the footage.
The fact is that THE LOST WORLD is a rollercoaster ride, without much of a pretense of being a significant, touching film.

 JURASSIC PARK & THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK - COLLECTOR'S EDITION DVDs
Actually, Jurassic Park's candidness about matters of hype lends it some welcome edge, while its follow-up, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, derives its subversion from the permission a sequel implies: to be as nasty as you want to be.
John Williams' percussive score for The Lost World is not quite as resonant as his more classically Spielbergian work on Jurassic Park, but prepare to be deposited in the middle of an orchestra pit either way--and a theme park, and a junglescape, for that matter.
Split surrounds usage is craftier on The Lost World, however we should cut Jurassic Park some slack for revolutionizing six-track digital sound--prior to the implementation of DTS, there were very few points of reference for the boys and girls in the mixing booth.

 The Lost World: Jurassic Park   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Written by David Koepp based on the novel The Lost World, by Michael Crichton.
Of course, we've all seen it before, not just in Jurassic Park but in King Kong, Godzilla (both of which Spielberg comically alludes to), and the 1925 silent adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World -- which Michael Crichton's novel shamelessly plagiarizes.
And undoubtedly we will see it all again, as this second outing of the Jurassic Park franchise furthers the extinction of any films that are not an amusement-park ride.

 Blogcritics.org: The Lost World: Jurassic Park DVD Review
After the financial disaster that was Jurassic Park, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) sends a crew to document the second island of the project, Site B, which has flourished without human contact.
The indescribable feeling of experiencing the first film is lost to make room for longer and more elaborate action scenes, some of which have no meaning on the story and only exist to create tension (which is does quite well admittedly).
Filmed in the same aspect of the original, "The Lost World" is presented on DVD in 1.85:1 widescreen.
