Absolutely the worst movie.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Heading into the Romanian jungle for an expedition, a group of paleontologists stumble upon a reanimated flock of Pterodactyls stalking the area and must rely on a team of commandos to save them and get them out alive.Overall this one was quite an enjoyable creature feature. What really makes this one so enjoyable is the exciting action in here, which makes for some really enjoyable moments as these are really continuous which provide a fantastic pace to move this along. There's some fun to be had in the stalking scenes on the hunters, the initial attack on the group member at the spring and the later scene of the group being confronted with the terrorists and the birds before being saved in a firefight with the soldiers as the birds circle around and pick off the remaining individuals, though the main action here is in the second half. Now faced with the creatures being alive there's some great fighting off the creatures out in the open fields, the barricading inside the house where the creatures swarm the windows and roof trying to break in forcing plenty of gun fighting to hold them off and the fun finale in the cave which features the tense hiding attempts in the next, the rescue attempts which are highly enjoyable as the creatures continue buzzing around the troops engaging in a furious firefights alongside them and the big battle to end this is quite fun. Another aspect of the action here is the big scenes with the commandos as their big scenes are rather action-packed with the forest gunfight and the thrilling chase in the open-air truck for more good times. Along with the fine gore and rather decent prop-heads for the creatures, these here are enough to hold this off against the one lone factor against this one. There's some pretty shoddy effects here of this one for the creatures here when they're on the ground, which is the usual kind of affairs found in these efforts. Them flying around isn't bad, but it's when they're walking around on the ground that looks off, as the badly-animated creatures showcase all the usual issues and problems overall. This is the issue that holds this one back.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Adult Language, and Brief Nudity.

Well this was a good try at making a monster movie but sadly it lacked a little to much for my liking.I am a sucker for any movie that has a monster has the main theme to it. This movie however is not worth 6.99$ which is sadly the price I paid for it. While it does have a decent story line to it, it still lacks in the follow through. The attempts on making the U.S. soldiers is really sad. Coolio was the worst representation of a squad commander I have seen in a long time. The way they shoot and hold their guns is sad. I think a grade 5 who has played FPS games for 3 years could do a better job at controlling the gun and shooting it then these people did. Not enough cheesy blood splattered scenes for something made in 2005, which makes me wonder what the budget was for this movie. Some good lines thrown in here and there but could have been better. There is also a random knife hanging in a wall in one scene but he chooses not to use it when the bird comes at him (Hint I write this as I watch the movie :P)

not, not, not recommended due for multiple raisons. first is the gore; what happens to human beings in this flick is not pretty. then the general stupid tone, such as commandos and terrorists standing straight up and firing automatic weapons at each other from about 20 yards (some of them do fall, eventually). the dialog is clichemeful and the plot is identical to a hundred others of the genre. as for the cast, the brightest non-star is one Mircea Monroe, a quite beautiful young thing what looks strikingly like Natalie 'Dixie Chick' Maines.the main reason for watching such as this is the monster, and the sfx in this are much lower than Jurassic Park level.try catching the original Gojira, or, if you like monsters aloft, Rodan. do yourself a favor and skip Pterodactyl.

totally amazing. the fact that some of yall were actually expecting a good movie is beyond me.1) its on sci-fi 2) its called Pterodactylthat told me all i needed to know. watch this movie while drinking a few beers and laugh my butt off. and that i did.the scene at the ravine near the end is pure class. "lets tie a rope around a sheep...and use that as an anchor. surely that will work!" somehow the weight of a 30 pound sheep supports the moving weight of a 190 pound man. awesome.and its coolio for God's sake. coolio. the dude must be crazy struggling for money. poor fella. hopefully he got a cool couple thousand for this amazing performance as an army sergeant. bang up job. nobody can shoot thousands of rounds into the air at flying dinosaurs and miss with the intensity you put into it.and the horrible CGI of the birds is just top class. them flying is just hysterical. the awkward flapping of their wings had me laughing from the very first time to the very last. unbelievable. total genius work by jonny mcclueless.and WHAT HAPPENED to the kid they left behind in the house?!?! that bugged the crap out of me. sure, he probably got eaten, but it was never confirmed. maybe he sacked the hell up and fought off those dactyls. you never know. the chick died...got that. then the dinos were crashing through the house. and yes, he totally looks like he just pooped his pants in fear, but maybe that was the moment that he decided that he needed to become a man. who knows? certainly not us, the viewers, as that is a part of the plot that was forgotten about. tragic.all in all, this was amazing. so horribly done, yet so fantastic. how someone couldn't see the humor in this is beyond me.
