This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
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.
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.
One test for a good show of any type is a simple question: did you care about the characters? I cared about the sheriff (who reminded me a bit of the sheriff in "Eureka"), about his estranged wife and about his daughter. Three likable actors portrayed the parts and I thought did good solid work. I objected for a moment at the skeletons breathing and bellowing without lungs but they were animated by *magic* after all. This is not a National Geographics special; it is a daft little fantasy. With good supporting actors, a couple of imaginative twists and a minimum of gore "Triassic Attack" became a fine little movie. Low expectations and being ill may have had something to do with it but I thoroughly enjoyed the time I "wasted" on this. I am confused about the title: none of the bony critters looked to be from the Triassic to me!
What a FUN movie. Beautifully shot in Bulgaria. Sure it was a LOW-budget production, sure some of the actors should have other jobs at the drive-up Dairy Queen, but hey, it was still fun.The joker that played the sheriff was probably the weakest cast member. Pretty flat character that should have done a little more FREAKING OUT when danger was on the Jeep. Dontcha think. The rest of the cast was well suited for their parts. Especially the quirky and funny Gabriel Womack that was part McGyver, part stand up comedian. Loved his hair after the "wire-connection."The reincarnation of a FLYING T-Rex was fabulous!!All in all a good outing for the Sci Fi channel. We all loved it, Gabriel!!! Missoula out....
