Brand new factory sealed vhs tape is now Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and no longer being manufactured. Has that brushed aluminum or steel look since it is printed on brilliant foil stock and does not photo well. Long expired coupon offer is also on the cover. This full screen pan scan version is perfect for old school televisions as the image will fill your square screen. The uncompressed audio is also more robust than its digital counterpart. The movie begins with a fourteen-year-old named Eric parasailing with his mother's boyfriend over the forbidden island of Isla Sorna, off the coast of Costa Rica. You will recall that this is the location of the doomed theme park in 'Lost World: jurassic park 2'. The towboat disappears into a mist of fog and emerges minus the crew, and the parasailers have to crash land on the island. Cut to America, where two people (William H. Macy Tea Leoni) offer a big bucks donation to the research of famous paleontologist Alan Grant (Neill) if he will be a guide for a flight over the island. They are in fact not just tourists; their secret is that they're Eric's parents, and they plan to land the plane on the island and rescue him. Along for the ride are Neill's gung ho assistant (Alessandro Nivola) and three other crew members, some of whom are quickly eaten by dinosaurs. The search for Eric consists mostly of the survivors walking through the forest shouting "Eric!" but the movie is ingenious in devising ways for prehistoric beasts to attack. There are some truly effective action sequences--one involving flying lizards and a suspension bridge, another involving an emergency rescue with the recycled parasail--that are as good as they get in these movies.
