** - The recently deceased Michael Crichton should have been spinning in his not yet dug grave after seeing what was done with his above average novel in this film adaptation. The story this was based on had loads of technical details dealing with quantum mechanics and so forth, and also had an intriguing plot. This movie, however, removed all of the intelligence and mystery from the novel and went for pure action, while altering many of the characteristics of the main players, considerably more so than was done in “Jurassic Park”. It has its entertaining bits, but doesn’t hold up well for its entire length. It’s rather disappointing.
