Load of rubbish!!

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I must admit I enjoyed this one. Being an Aussie it was good to see a Daddo in the central role and he did well.There's nothing really unexpected in this; basically a group of soldiers meets up with a group of students and together they meet up with a group of Pterodactyls that manage to reduce the number of human that are going to get out of this alive.The SF is OK for TV quality and low budget, maybe a bit gory for very young viewers. The acting is nothing particularly special, but you don't watch this sort of movie for that.Like all movies with a large number of characters, its hard to have any opportunity for the individuals (other than the leads) to stand out. Still, I loved the concept of naming so many characters after SF authors; it added to the overall fun.Mark Lester keeps things moving along and never really tries to make the film more than what it is.One of the better efforts in this category

You know you're watching a very VERY bad film when you're hoping it'll get better as it goes along but ... THIS DOESN'T! So many things wrong with this film, including very bad (un)special effects but one highlight is watching an undergrad student survive longer than trained, heavily-armed militants! This is only surpassed in wonder by the amazing dialog including "This is my last fruit juice and you can't have it!" ... yes, spoken to a Pterodactyl, machine gun in hand, before BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA-SCREEAAAAAAMMM!!! I am glad I watched it though as I now have a film to accompany "The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Masacre" in greatness ...

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.

This movie is crap, even the soldiers in the movie, don't look or even act like soldiers, they just extras wearing military uniforms. Interesting why in these sort of movies, early on, they are all wearing their army helmets, yet later in the movie, none are wearing their helmets despite under combat conditions. There is one soldier that seems unable to keep the smile off his face, like been in the movie is one funny joke, which it is.Then there is the hot babe, who is simple in the movie because she is hot and ends up, a victim like in all these sort of movies.The special effects are not too bad.This movie was made to give a group of b-grade actors something to do.
