Good start, but then it gets ruined
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
i sat through over an hour of this movie before something finally happened, and even then it wasn't worth it. the dinosaurs were animatronic rather than cg, and were very poor ones too. the found footage style certainly didn't help matters either, with way too much shaky camera shots making it difficult to know what was happeningto sum up, it's basically a bunch of unlikable characters walking through the jungle for days until they get attacked by some very bad looking dinosaurs that wouldn't scare Fred Flintstone. maybe they should have put him in this movie, it may have made it more watchable, but don't take my word for it.
Most people seeing the trailer & reading the blurb will think you are getting an exciting action film involving dinosaurs or even one which is tense. Unfortunately, what you get is a film dressed up as a documentary. This wouldn't be bad in itself if it wasn't so poorly made, was tense, or even atmospheric. Instead you get a silly plot in which some party seems to go a few miles into the wilderness, amazon, & finds creatures from the Jurassic age. Of course you would.On top of this you have a cameraman who is obviously drunk & has the shakes, as the camera moves all over the place & keeps going out. The only time it is steady, is when it zooms in on the leading lady's breasts, which it does throughout the movie. In fact all the male characters seem to zoom in on them. The cameraman in the film is just as bad, irritating throughout, & you are constantly praying if someone is going to get it, it will be him. The rest of the actors are not much better, with the sole exception being the chest of the skinny broad, which seems to be the centre of attention.If you want to watch something with no tension or atmosphere throughout, then this is for you, otherwise avoid.
Was expecting a little more - but the high-school dinosaur effects killed it. Sorry - never going to get a big thumbs-up from me. (Plus the "lost footage" camera thing has been very over used...) Turned it off after just over an hour. Luckily my wine was nice... The acting was okay. The sound effects were good. The tension of the "animals" coming into the movie wasn't too bad. The eventual arrival of "a dinosaur" was absolutely terrible. Hopefully the actors have other projects. My room mate didn't come downstairs to watch it, and thankfully so... If you thought this would be an awesome scary horror dinosaur flick then don't bother. Very disappointed. Why don't I have Fox Sports...?
As Dinosaur films go this is a great contender and nowhere near as bad as one reviewer commented and stands proudly next to Jurassic park,1 million years bc, valley of gwangi and other dino movies out thereThe director took us into another world away from the norm as what started off as a normal exploration adventure turns out to be a battle for survival. The acting, the story, the effects and the camera work were all far better than some Dino films flying about and as for the dinosaurs themselves they were worth the wait. It is not overly violent or over the top which makes a refreshing change and the fact there is very, very limited CGI that in itself is an added bonus. So what you see is what you get.So with that said it is an enjoyable movie and I am glad it is now part of my DVD collection as I do have a dear love for all things monster.It has been pointed out that this is not found footage which I previously called it so I take my hat off sarcastically to the man who pointed that out and I have corrected my Title. Thank you for saving me from myself.
