100 Million BC
July. 29,2008 RA scientist from the failed Philadelphia Experiment leads a team of Navy SEALs back in time to the Cretaceous Period to rescue the first team he sent back during the 1940s. Things go wildly awry though, when on his return he accidentally brings a giant, man-eating dinosaur back through the portal and into modern-day, downtown Los Angeles.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Lack of good storyline.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Dr Frank Reno (Michael Gross) once worked on the Philadelphia Experiment and his early work left some people including his brother stranded far back in time.Now in 1998 Dr Reno has got the time travel technology working properly and he along with some soldiers travel back millions of years to the early Cretaceous period so he can rescue the team from the 1949 expedition.Dr Reno's team arrives a few years after the time when the 1949 team arrived and they manage to find a few survivors. The soldiers themselves are attacked and some of the are killed by prehistoric creatures.What is left of the two groups of survivors return to the present day but they also manage to bring a T-Rex who follows and causes havoc in present day America.Meanwhile Dr Reno who stayed behind on the pre-historic period somehow time hopped to 1950 and meets up with his younger self and tells him how to use the time technology properly before dying.Young Dr Reno assembles a crack squad of soldiers and leads them through the portal to 1998 where they take on the rampaging dinosaur and send him back through time.Well at the least the film has a plot, some of it rips of Jurassic Park 2 with the dinosaur on the loose. The special effects are poor and so is the acting. Despite the efforts put into the story the script is bad.Another Asylum stinker.
This movie is a total mess. I thought this movie was made in 1988, not 2008, based on nearly cardboard cutouts of dinosaurs. Dialog was mostly implied throughout the movie. Total disconnect with reality. It appears that the directors not only had a super limited budget but also limited imagination and no research what so ever. Yet I found myself glued to the TV for almost the whole movie. The more I watched the crappier it got. It was almost like watching teletubbies or Barny the dinosaur. SPOILER: Surprisingly, this highly advanced facility is run by a bald, fat technician (starting the portal) and a lone officer who looks like a total redneck. Also, the genius doctor tells his friend that his son almost killed someone in a bar. The son must be at least 60 years old, since his dad left in 1949. . Also, the grandfather paradox (mentioned in the movie) tends to be amplified in time. So it was an absolute blunder to send the team to the dinosaurs.The cave messages (in English), the T-Rex scull and the UFO caricature would have huge effect on media and science.Bottom line: Don't watch unless you are addicted to crack. One star for the concept
Terribly flawed plot line accompanied by horrendous CGI. I've seen better special effects in movies from the 80's. I recorded this movie for my 7 year old son because he loves dinosaurs and even he noticed loads of mistakes! We actually watched it right through to the end, we wanted to see how bad the ending was going to be!! True to form, the ending was as unbelievable as the rest of the movie. Because this movie was on TV I didn't see the DVD cover & man am I glad, I would have been a hell of a lot more disappointed than I already am, the cover is very very misleading. I wish I had read all the reviews on this site before attempting to waste my time on this awful awful movie!!!!
But in all honesty, is it really saying that much? I watched this out of curiosity as I make it a habit of watching these Syfy movies(most of which are really bad) when there is nothing else on. I have seen worse movies than 100 Million BC and there have been worse from SyFy, however this aside that doesn't stop it from being terrible. The production values are cheap and shot so darkly sometimes you can hardly make out what was going on and the effects look phony and the sound is both murky and lacking in authenticity. The music is canned, which can mean tacky and annoying, the case here, the story is badly paced often being dull and there are no thrills, suspense or tense build ups to savour and the dialogue is toe-curlingly bad. The acting not helped by some stock and clichéd characters is awful, Michael Gross tries but Chris Atkins is wooden and painful to watch. All in all, I've seen worse, but this was not a good movie at all. 2/10 Bethany Cox
