In Michael Crichton’s 1995 novel “The Lost World”, the film tells the story of Dr. Ian Malcolm (played by Jeff Goldblum) who is leading an expedition to a place called InGen’s “Site B”, on Isla Sorna. This island is where InGen, a company that creates dinosaurs through cloning, has its factory. Even without the safety measure known as the Lysine contingency, the dinosaur population continues to thrive on this island. Dr. Malcolm and his team are sent by John Hammond (Sir Richard Attenborough) with the mission to take pictures of dinosaurs on Isla Sorna to declare it a biological preserve and stop InGen from transporting these dinosaurs to San Diego for the creation of a new Jurassic Park. The film “The Lost World” remains divisive among fans due to its darker tone compared to the first movie, but this change, along with other factors, is why I believe it deserves a second look and re-evaluation.
