Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Leofwine_draca JURASSIC HUNTERS is a straight-up B-movie that was better than I expected, thanks to a wealth of dinosaur action and some CGI effects which, while poor at times, aren't nearly as bad as those seen in films made by The Asylum. The silly storyline has members of a mining town attacked by a wave of raptors that emerge following a mine explosion and lay waste to the countryside. The human characters are negligible, aside from minor roles from a couple of old-timers in the forms of Eric Roberts and Vernon Wells, both of whom are fun. The film is mildly gruesome and action-packed, and although stupid it passes the time better than many of its kind.

Wuchak RELEASED IN 2015 and directed by Ari Novak, "Cowboys vs Dinosaurs" chronicles events in modern-day Montana after an accidental explosion at a mine somehow unleashes dinosaurs to terrorize a small mountain town. Western dudes & babes in Daisy Dukes team-up to defend the populace.Like 2010's "Triassic Attack," this is basically a TV-budgeted "Jurassic Park" taking place on the mainland rather than a tropical island. It's not as 'good' as "Triassic Attack" story-wise, but it has superior locations (breathtaking, actually) and women (just as breathtaking). Heather Foote and Sara Malakul Lane stand out in the female department; Casey Fitzgerald also has a notable role. The other women are lousy actors (term used loosely), not that cutie Heather is great, but she's okay and certainly pleasing to the eyes. Sara as the girl-next-door mine manager is a revelation. Rib Hillis and John Freeman are effective as the 'cowboy' protagonists, in rivalry over Sky (Fitzgerald). They have a quality confrontation in the first act while Hillis and Fitzgerald have a surprisingly moving scene in the last act. I say "surprisingly" because you wouldn't necessarily expect good drama in a low-budget, slightly goofy dinosaur flick like this.The dinosaur CGI is actually decent, but other CGI is lousy, like cave-ins, explosions and fire. The story needed the kinks worked out and some scenes are dubiously executed. These factors explain my relatively low grade. THE MOVIE RUNS 89 minutes and was shot in Livingston and Emigrant, Montana. WRITERS: Anthony Fankhauser & Rafael Jordan. ADDITIONAL CAST: Eric Roberts has an entertaining bit part while Vernon Wells plays the mine mogul. Kelcey Watson is on hand as the black gunslinger. GRADE: C (4.5/10)

Michael O'Keefe In the movies, anything is possible. Following an explosion at a mine long-entombed dinosaurs awaken and emerge upon a sleepy western town. It appears the ancient lizards are about as confused as the hopeless town. A returning rodeo cowboy, Val Walker (Rib Hillis), is practically forced into the hero role as he and a group of gunslingers find themselves defending the town against the hissing and chomping monsters.Val will get the chance to get sage advice from his drunken father, Trent (Eric Roberts), who seems comfortable in jail. The CGI dinosaurs are not just bad, but real bad. Sometimes acting that is lacking is blamed on the writer; but then again is it the director's fault? Director Ari Novak can only do so much given cowboys and dinosaurs...and some pretty girls to fill the screen. This one you just have to have fun with.Also in the cast: Casey Fitzgerald, Nick Andrews, Vernon Wells, Heather Foote, Sara Malakui Lane, John Freeman and Jesse Banthem.

jackstupidjack As far as these low budget sub SyFy films go, this one isn't too bad.The CGI isn't great, I don't think Amblin/Legendary Entertainment will be losing sleep over this as competition for the Jurassic Park franchise; yet the film is good fun if not taken too seriously (and if you take a film called Cowboys vs Dinosaurs' seriously then you deserve a poke in the eye with a blunt stick. There are worse ways to pass an hour or so if you can tolerate the dreadful dialogue, ludicrous plot and acting. Most of the actresses seem to have come straight off the 'casting couch' as I seriously doubt they got in the film for their acting abilities. I don't think there will be too many sequels thankfully.
