It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I was looking for some new monster movie to watch and came across this entry. I'm a fan of B-monster movies, so I might be a bit biased. This movie seemed pretty interesting, at least in concept. Dinosaurs survived extinction! Now they're human-sized and hidden among us under high-tech gadgetry. Before that they used make-up and then latex suits to disguise, of course. It's a very long shot to believable, like most conspiracy theories. Despite that, it is so bad in a good way that it kind of works. This title did have crappy CGI, at least for this generation. So-so acting was present, some is good, some not, some falls in between. Camera work could also use some tweaking. Even with its flaws, I liked this movie. Don't get me wrong, it isn't Shakespeare in the Park. Though with that title, expectations were not high, "Anonymous Rex" immediately led me to think about dinosaurs. And yes, it could have been a lot better, but it is entertaining and different. Apparently there is even a series of books it's based on. I obviously have not read them; I don't think I will either. The movie, though B-movie, Friday night material, is not exactly a glowing recommendation, though it might have led someone down the road to believe in lizard-men.

Appalling.I found myself getting angry and bewildered watching this. I simply could not believe that so many people involved in making such a travesty could so willingly waste my time. I just can not stop shaking my head in disbelief. Really, I can't imagine how those poor souls out there with a great idea for a film that they can't get made feel when they stumble across this. It is worth watching simply to store in the dark corners of your mind to bring up when someone asks "What is the worst movie you've seen?" I was scrolling through the channels on T.V looking for something when I saw this bizarre description about a mutant Velociraptor detective disguised as a human. Thinking that it surely can't be as bad as it sounds and might be good for a few laughs, I jumped in. I was wrong. It was worse, even, than it sounds.I pride myself on watching any movie through to the end, but I confess I just couldn't make the distance. The laughs at the poor special effects (really, I can't adequately describe how bad) and the dialogue, which is worse than most porno's, soon ran out.Sometimes it can be fun to see those 'so bad they're funny' movies, but I can't even slot this debacle into that category.

'Anonymous Rex' is a pale, PALE shadow of the cockeyed brilliance of the books. While the setup is rather ludicrous, the books had a lot of fun with the concept. The narration sounded like something out of the back corner of Bruce Campbell's mind, the characters were engaging, and the dialogue was actually funny. Here... They ruined it. Whoever made this movie RUINED IT! There's no humor, no excitement, no LIFE to this movie. It takes itself too seriously. That is a fatal flaw when you're dealing with something as completely insane as this. Terrible acting, script (whose bonehead idea was it to give Ernie a human daughter?), special effects, everything completely and utterly SUCKED. Avoid this movie at all costs.

While watching this film, I kept having flashbacks to a vampire series which played a few years ago, Forever Knight. The similarities were many:(1) Protagonist PI versus Police Detective (2) Nightclub as meeting place for Dinosaurs / Vampires (3) Protagpmost lives in loft (4) Hiding secret identities (Dinosaur / Vampire) (5) Human let in on secret ("Daughter" / Girlfriend) (6) Secret Society of Violent Elders (Council / Enforcers)etc.They both also looked like they were filmed in Toronto, though for Anonymous Rex I have no validation.
