Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that, like its prequels, Jurassic Park III is nonstop action and violence. There are jump-out-at-you surprises and some gross-out moments. Characters are in extreme peril and several are killed, but the movie is careful not to get rid of anyone we really care about. Some children will nevertheless find it very upsetting, especially because one of the characters is a child. But the child is brave, smart, and resilient, which some kids will find very satisfying. Divorced parents reunite and live happily ever after at the end of the movie, which might give kids the wrong idea about how divorce actually works.

Sexual Content

A brief scene of a woman in her bra.

Violence

Characters killed, though none of the central ones. Extremely intense peril with scary dinos throughout.

Language

Brief mild language.

Social Behavior

Critiques of man trying to play God are embedded throughout, as man's interference in nature has clearly gotten out of control. But these messages are pretty hidden beneath the action and scares.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Adults order drinks in a bar.
