lokithemystic He rode a triceratops like a bull and that's all I wanted from this movie. 10/10. there was terrible acting, and terrible CGI. I was expecting this from a movie called Cowboys vs Dinosaurs though. but all in all, if this movie came out in 1996 this would be a classic. I loved it. it was stupid as all get out, but fantastic in its own way.

vlkenning only if you really want to totally waste an hour and a half of your life watching poorly written, poorly acted crap. Dumbest thing I ever forced myself to sit through. It is an interesting idea, but deserved better work from writers, producers, casting and actors. The borrowed raptors from other films did their parts as one might expect, but the stage make-up of the deceased may have been done by a seven-year-old girl.

Michael O'Keefe In the movies, anything is possible. Following an explosion at a mine long-entombed dinosaurs awaken and emerge upon a sleepy western town. It appears the ancient lizards are about as confused as the hopeless town. A returning rodeo cowboy, Val Walker (Rib Hillis), is practically forced into the hero role as he and a group of gunslingers find themselves defending the town against the hissing and chomping monsters.Val will get the chance to get sage advice from his drunken father, Trent (Eric Roberts), who seems comfortable in jail. The CGI dinosaurs are not just bad, but real bad. Sometimes acting that is lacking is blamed on the writer; but then again is it the director's fault? Director Ari Novak can only do so much given cowboys and dinosaurs...and some pretty girls to fill the screen. This one you just have to have fun with.Also in the cast: Casey Fitzgerald, Nick Andrews, Vernon Wells, Heather Foote, Sara Malakui Lane, John Freeman and Jesse Banthem.

GL84 Following a mine accident, the residents of a small town find a group of dinosaurs unleashed and running amok, forcing them to turn to a disgraced former rodeo star to combat the dinosaurs and save the town.This one wasn't all that bad of a cheesy creature feature. One of the better features here is the absolutely fun and enjoyable amount of action throughout this, which makes for quite a fun pace here. This starts off really nicely with the opening mine explosion with the dinosaurs coming through the smoke and debris in rather creepy scenes hunting the miners through the workers through the mine, and the scene at the swimming hole attacking the girls out in the middle of the desert is highly enjoyable as well. The attack on the farmhouse is fine with the really brutal kills coming into play, while the big set-up here comes through into two rather impressive and wholly enjoyable cheesy action scenes here with their initial attack on the town. Filled with highly enjoyable brief attacks on the different establishments throughout here, from the Laundromat and the diner to the police station and finally the barricaded bar where the fun of their barricades holding along with the gunfire to keep them out all come off as really enjoyable, continuous action scenes which is all nicely interspersed with the raptors and the rex out on the city streets leading to some fun swarming scenes as they come after the townspeople while the rex regenerates plenty of cheesy fun stalking through the streets as well as showcasing the really energetic chase sequences as they try to get away from it in their jeep as they engage in plenty of firefights to combat it. Containing a ton of cheesy action, plenty of kills and an extended section of the film allows for quite an overall fun time. The other big scene here is the finale which is really exciting here with the barricade in the warehouse as the boards and gunfire hold them off and make rather good use of the different floors for some suspenseful times leaping up to take them and getting some really nice gore along with the action which carries into the big chase away into the quarry which has a ton of gunfire and explosive action along the way, resulting in a lot of fun. Along with some enjoyable non-dino scenes that keep this going, this is good enough to hold out over the flaws. The main issue here is the rather inane plot line about the corrupt, shady businessman trying to buy over the conspiracy at any cost here, which is so unrealistically portrayed here he comes off as completely unbelievable in how he continually ignores every bit of common sense, even in the form of a creatures' carcass right in front of everyone around them yet he pushes on to his other commitments rather than follow common logic. The only other problem area here was the CGI, which manages to come through on pretty much the same issues they usually present in obviously-pixelated skin, constant special awareness flaws and the inability to react to anything in the environment which makes them all the more obviously fake. Otherwise, this one had a lot to really like here.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.
