Memorable, crazy movie

Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent adaptation.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film centers on a hand full of people trying to save Los Angeles from cheesy looking Pterodactyls from outer space...who want their planet back according to the by-line. The military is helpless and only Candice (Candice Nunes) with a pistol and her bar patrons can kill them.I had a number of issues, such as them being called "reptiles" but being able to generate their own heat...of course there may have been another plot hole or two. The film was NOT Asylum or SyFy, but was done in Sharknado style, minus headliners, including the climax. The dialogue was semi-cliché with adolescents in mind.Guide: No sex or nudity. 1-2 F-words. Adult themes such as swapping sex for rent

Terrordactyl (2016) is an action comedy horror film released in 2016 that tells the story of two friends who searched for a meteor and found that the meteor is an egg from a prehistoric reptile. They come from outer space and attack the city of Los Angeles. Chaos occurs where the two men are trying to stop the chaos .. The movie is so ridiculous .. Petrosaur from space ??? Strange storyline, horrible CGI, but this movie is quite entertaining with all the silliness and oddity. Petrosaurs from the sky .. Is there a dinosaur there ??? Another giant creature ??? Or King Kong ...

I had some hopes for this film, not high ones, after all, it is a budget B-Movie Monster flick. Though MarVista has been distributing these type of movies for years now, I thought they would be "Cherry Picking" the better ones. However, the budget must have been spent on the CGI and Model-FX as the rest of the movie was pitiful in the extreme.So, the good first: There were times when the CGI Terrordactyls were pretty decent and quite believable. Unfortunately, viewers only remember the badly rendered scenes. When the Terrordactyls are swarming and flying through the city and around the apartment block, these are the best CGI scenes. The worst being the whenever a human gets snatched by one, these scenes made me smile in their badness.Then there's the puppetry when you get the one-to-one fight scenes with the humans V the Terrordactyls. The major drawback is the budget, once again. But to be fair the 'Dactyls aren't too bad, that being said there are times when the movement of these puppets are awkward and I even felt embarrassed for the team working on them. Especially the part in the apartment where the 'Dactyls keep lining up for the heroes to shoot them down - just like all the fairground games... it would've been funnier had the director decided to play calliope music over the scene.This is another area where the film failed, the writer and director, Don Bitters III and Geoff Reisner, try to install humour throughout the film, though most of this falls flat. Sometimes, due to the writer, but most of all due to the actors.The best I can say about the actors is that they were below par and, at times, annoying. The worst was Jonas' maniacal laugh, which wasn't even called for. To be fair, they didn't have too much to work with, thanks to the writer, Don Bitters, whose characters were stereotypical. Even though characters in these genre films are usually stereotyped, in this movie there also boring to the N'th degree and two-dimensional. Then you have the inane backstory of the Terrordacytls having been blown into space when the dinosaur-killing meteor hit the earth... What else from Earth's past is waiting in space to fall upon us?Hopefully, NOTHING by this film crew!Except for the CGI artists.I really don't understand why you want to make a movie (or do anything, for that matter) and not give it your best effort. If this is their best effort than they should start working in call centers and stop inflicting your audiences with half-baked ideas and movies, Give us something decent - and yes even Bad films can be entertaining "SHARKNADO!!!"Don't waste your time on this badly written, badly acted, nonsense. Go give blood - at least you get a cup of tea and biscuit after.

They fell from the sky! Two buddies, albeit one being a moron, get the chance to save Los Angeles. Lars (Christopher Jennings) and his rubber-jaw slacker friend Jonas (Jason Tobias) hit the bar right after work; while outside the night sky is aglow with a meteor shower. Bartender Candice (Candice Nunes) impresses the dimwit Jonas by talking about how space rocks are worth a lot of money. The two buddies manage to find an odd looking rock and hopes it is worth a fortune. Things turn very sour when the meteor show turns out to be an attack of ancient pterodactyls and Jonas and Lars don't possess a space rock, but a flying reptile egg.You would expect some sleazy CGI, but alas, the special effects are visually pretty solid. Action at times drags, but worst of all is the humor that easily flat lines. You beg for Jonas to be the first to go. His stammering and ignorance brings more groans than laughs. But you know what, I will take this over "Sharknados" anytime.Candice's room mate Valerie (Bianca Haase) is stunning! Also in the cast: Jack E. Curenton, Leo Oliva, Aubrey Wakeling and Victoria Summer.
