10 Movies That Ended Way Too Early

10. Jurassic Park III

Can movie endings really be any more anti-climactic than that of Jurassic Park III?

At the 80-minute mark of the much-anticipated threequel, Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and his fellow survivors on Isla Sorna make it to the coast, where they're greeted by the Marine Corps and the Navy, who were called in by Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern, in disappointing cameo form).

At this point it seems like the film is gearing up for a third act battle between the island's remaining dinosaurs and a fleet of disposable soldiers, but then the film just... ends, with the heroes being evacuated and the escaped Pteranodons flying past them.

As won't surprise anyone, the film had major production issues to the extent that it began filming without a completed script, where the ending hadn't even been written yet.

Director Joe Johnston considered quitting the project several times, ultimately calling the shoot "a living hell on a daily basis."

Given that the final film clocks in at just 92 minutes including credits, it's painfully obvious that audiences were robbed of an entire act's worth of action and excitement. Awful.
