Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

mb1456 It was very difficult for me to take Triassic(huh) Park seriously due to the weak effects, script and performances. I think this is one movie that Emilia Clarke(Sarah Connor, Terminator Genisys) would wanna forget. She was sincere in her role but the average direction makes her performance forgettable. The fossils that turn alive look unintentionally funny than creepy and the effects make it worse. Most of the actors who come before the camera(except for the lead Steven Brand, Kirsty Mitchell, Raoul Max etc.) have dead pan expressions even when they have just been attacked by the fossil raptors, tyrannosaurus or the birds whatever. If you're a fan of monster or creature movies and don't mind how hilariously bad some can get, you'll survive this one. Pros - Sarah Conner, Cons - the Triassic(script, actors, effects) attack.

jlthornb51 Actor Colin Ferguson proves he is a gifted director with this exciting science fiction adventure and what he accomplishes with a limited budget is extraordinary. The original and sharp script from screen writers Russ Friedman and Tripp Reid gives a brief nod to giant reptile movies of the past and proceeds to turn them all on their heads with wit and insight. When a Native American roadside attraction operator inadvertently awakens huge dinosaurs, they wreak havoc upon a small town and university in horrific fashion. Especially clever is Ferguson's choice to select an actor who looks like himself to play the sheriff and have him drive a Jeep much like the character Ferguson plays on the imaginative SyFy show Eureka. That actor is excellent and the entire cast brings a depth and humanity to their characters that's unusual in this kind of science fiction film. Superb special effects bring the ghostly dinosaurs to live remarkably and they prove to be quite frightening indeed. Certainly a superior entry in the Rampaging Dinosaur genre and a truly fantastic thrill ride.

geekgirl101 Well, this is yet another of those movies that I wasn't paying attention to until part-way through and realised what a total bunch of cobblers it was and that I'm glad I never got to see the boring buildup at the start.So we have 3 dinosaur fossils that are attacking a small village, a bunch of so-called Indians who have mystic powers, and a very small police force protecting the town.The dinosaur fossils raise a bunch of questions such as how can they see with no eyes, how can they shriek and growl with no vocal chords or lungs, and how are they capable of flying with no wings. What's more ridiculous is about 3/4 of the way through the film the bones join together to create - Ptero-Rex, a flying T-Rex with glowing red eyes.The settings are quite decent, the music is pretty OK and dramatic during the... well, what is supposed to be the dramatic scenes, and the acting is pretty good too, and they've done well in having the actors and the monsters in the same scene instead of it being here's a person, here's a dinosaur, here's a person running away, and here's the dinosaur chasing them. It's just the storyline is completely naff and ridiculous.

Joseph Palka I was expecting a great Syfy movie; my family would sit down, watch it, enjoy it, and laugh at the guilty pleasure with it's clever effects throughout. However, this just made me feel like fast-forwarding the entire show with my DVR remote. Here's why:The story was just boring; it felt like that it could have sped up a little bit. At least they did a flashback to show how the events came about, but mostly, the writers used all these unnecessary pauses and dialog for filler that just made the movie seem longer. If they were to cut out those certain scenes or shorten them, the movie could have made a solid hour and I would have enjoyed it much better.The characters, mostly between the main characters--Jake and Emma--were just irritating and painstakingly annoying. As before, the writers just used filler techniques in situations with dialog or pauses. Surprisingly, the other characters that were further introduced were slightly better, but the pacing felt unbalanced. The acting was off- balance; some scenes looked like they were a complete joke--not funny, some were so overdone that they seemed to last too long.The effects were okay some of the time, but mostly, they were the cheapest graphics ever put into a Syfy movie--more cheap than the other movies. In fact, they were so cheap that it made the other effects from other Syfy movies, as well as low-rated universal productions, appear ten times as good.Lastly, the concepts of the movie: dull and unrealistic. In fact, one scene actually felt uncomfortable and very unusual and it lasted for about a minute. Another one was a ritual ceremony that caused it to magically rain from the sky. The fact that dinosaur skeletons are able to roar without the required organs, and fly without any muscles, is beyond ridiculous.As for consistency, Syfy premiered the movie Jurassic Park, a more successful spin-off of realistic dinosaurs, directed by Steven Spielberg, before this movie aired. I assume that it tried to keep us interested in dinosaurs, just without the whole body structure, but that plan failed miserably.Overall, this is one of the worst Syfy movies that was ever made in the history of this channel.
