Story:In the beginning of the film, a boy named Eric Kirby and his soon-to-be stepfather, Ben Hildebrand, go parasailing near Isla Sorna with a "DINO-SOAR" Parasail. Meanwhile, the boat's crew disappear (presumably killed by a swimming dinosaur). Ben and Eric crash on the island. Scientists Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler have continued their paleontological careers but are working independently. Ellie is married and has two children while Grant is still digging with his protégé, Billy Brennan. Grant is approached by Paul and Amanda Kirby who pretend to be wealthy and desire to tour Isla Sorna. Having chartered a plane, they want Grant to be their guide. He is reluctant at first, but eventually agrees after the Kirbys offer to fund his dig.
Grant suspects that something is not quite right when the plane carrying him, Billy, the Kirbys, and a trio of mercenaries, Udesky, Cooper, and M.B. Nash, begins to land. After Amanda uses a megaphone to call out to her son in the jungle, a roar is heard followed by several gunshots. Nash and Udesky emerge shouting they have to leave. The plane starts down the runway when Cooper suddenly appears, begging them to stop. Suddenly, a huge spinosaurus seizes him in its jaws and kills him. As it leaves the ground, the plane grazes the Spinosaurus, sending it out of control into the jungle and stranded up a tree. The Spinosaurus attacks again, tearing off the front of the cockpit, seizing Nash and devouring him. The plane remnant falls to the ground where Grant, Billy, Paul, Amanda, and Udesky are once again assaulted by the persistent spinosaurus. They finally escape when the dinosaur gets it head stuck between two trees. But their luck turns sour again as they blunder into a Tyrannosaurus eating a fresh kill. Disturbed, it pursues them back into the jungle where the Spinosaurus suddenly reappears. The two theropods engage in battle, with the Spinosaurus emerging victorious. The survivors slip away in the meantime. Grant learns that the Kirbys are actually searching for their son, Eric, who was stranded on the island along with Amanda's fiancé, Ben, in a parasailing accident eight weeks earlier. He decides to lead them to the coast, increasing their chances of rescue. Along the way, they discover the parasail, as well as Ben's skeletal remains. Billy salvages the parasail, and the Kirbys discover several nearby velociraptors nests.
The group then explores the abandoned InGen compound where they are attacked by a male Velociraptor. As they flee, the rest of the raptor pack joins in the pursuit and Udesky gets separated from the others and is attacked by the alpha female raptor. The rest take refuge in the trees. Amanda tries to help Udesky and is nearly ambushed by raptors who have set a trap. Failing at this, a male raptor finishes Udesky by snapping his neck killing him. Grant is separated from the group and nearly killed when Eric arrives and rescues him from several raptors with smoke bombs. He has survived on the island since the accident, living in an abandoned water truck. The following morning while trekking through the jungle, Eric recognizes the ringtone of his father's portable phone. The groups reunite, separated by a high barrier fence. Paul, puzzled at Eric's explanation as to how he detected them, points out the cell phone was lost when he gave it to Nash (who was eaten by the Spinosaurus). The ringing is heard again and the group spots the spinosaurus nearby which appears on Eric and Alan's side of the fence. The two run in panic and by a stroke of luck find a hole in the fence which they dive through. The survivors are reunited, but not giving up, the spinosaurus crashes through the fence and chases them until they find shelter in another building. Grant now discovers Billy has stolen two Velociraptor eggs. About to drop them in the river, he hesitates. "What will happen if they catch us with the eggs?" Grant responds, "What will happen if they catch us without them?"
To reach a boat docked in a nearby river, the group must pass through a massive aviary dome where they are attacked by pteranodons. Using the parasail he salvaged, Billy rescues Eric from a nest of Pteranodon infants, but is attacked and overwhelmed by several adults. The rest of the group assumes he is dead. The group escapes, but the dome's door is left ajar. The party finds the boat and while navigating down the river hear a phone ringing. This leads them to a dung pile containing the satellite phone the Spinosaurus had eaten from the plane, which they are forced to sift through in order to recover it. A ceratosaurus appears and nearly attacks, but backs off at the last moment upon smelling the dung which it knows marks the territory of another predator. As the gang travels down the river, the spinosaurus emerges from the water and attacks. Grant attempts to call Ellie on the satellite phone, but is dragged beneath the surface and can only yell "The river! Site B! The river!". Paul climbs to the top of a nearby crane to distract the monster, and Grant shoots a flare which ignites the oil that has spilled from the boat, scaring away the dinosaur.
The group is close to shore when raptors reappear, wanting their eggs back. Avoiding any sudden movement, the eggs are taken out and carefully placed on the ground. Two raptors gently take them away. The remaining raptors appear on the verge of attack when Grant imitates a Velociraptor call on a special pipe, one which replicates a raptor's resonating chamber like the one that Billy had rapid prototyped earlier in the film. Disconcerted, the raptors retreat. At the beach, United States Marine Corps helicopters and infantry arrive. The party boards a helicopter and Grant encounters Billy who was injured during the Pteranodon attack. As the helicopter departs, three Pteranodons are seen flying off in the distance. Eric asks Grant where they might be going and Grant speculates they are searching for new nesting grounds. Paul is glad that they're finally going home, and the film ends as the pteranodons fly off into the clouds.

This is horrible, i should say terrible if compare to the 1st two movie. There's nothing special about this. Heard that Jurassic Park 4 is coming in 2012, is it real? I'm not sure, hope that its not as suck as this.
