Mike Stone I picked this movie up at a flea market for $1. Overpaid for it. I should have looked close and noticed it was made by the Sci Fi Channel. That's a definite tip that it stinks. The only reason I gave it two stars is because one of those stars is for Amy Sloan, the one and only high point in the movie. I don't demand that movies be totally realistic. I'm not one of those who got upset because the space ships in Star Wars go "Woosh" in a vacuum. Don't care. But bullet proof pterodactyls that tear people completely in half with one swoop? Are you serious? Add a bunch of soldiers who practice the discipline and tactical skills of cub scouts.

stepflan This movie is absolutely horrible. I can't believe something like this can be distributed on DVD. Everything about this movie is a huge mess. The most disappointing thing about the movie is that it was made from the same director who made the epic masterpiece "Commando". It made me realise how accidental genius Commando was. Obviously Mark L. Lesters career has been going straight down the hill. This movie makes "PIECES" look like art.The effects are incredible dreadful. The animatronics and latex dolls looks really cheap, but the CGI is really crap. In some scenes you can even tell that they have used the same CGI loop over and over again. This movie reminds me why CGI sucks compared to old school effects because the CGI is nothing but laughable.Unfortunately the CGI isn't the worst part about the movie. I'm talking about the acting. Nothing can prepare you for the acting, seriously. Unless you have seen "TROLL 2", "PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE" or "MEXICAN WEREWOLF IN Texas" you don't know what you're getting into. These people should be banned from acting. Coolio really steals the show though, playing a real badass. That guy will probably act in almost anything.Even though I think this is a piece of crap. I still enjoyed it to a certain extend. I knew from the beginning of the film exactly what kind of film this was going to be. I mean, it's a freakin dinosaur movie with Coolio. Who could possible expect this to be any good? If you are interested in bad movies then I recommend it, but if you are interested in a really cool dinosaur movie then stay the f*** away from Pterodactyl. Watch Jurassic Park instead.

foxanddranzer Well this was a good try at making a monster movie but sadly it lacked a little to much for my liking.I am a sucker for any movie that has a monster has the main theme to it. This movie however is not worth 6.99$ which is sadly the price I paid for it. While it does have a decent story line to it, it still lacks in the follow through. The attempts on making the U.S. soldiers is really sad. Coolio was the worst representation of a squad commander I have seen in a long time. The way they shoot and hold their guns is sad. I think a grade 5 who has played FPS games for 3 years could do a better job at controlling the gun and shooting it then these people did. Not enough cheesy blood splattered scenes for something made in 2005, which makes me wonder what the budget was for this movie. Some good lines thrown in here and there but could have been better. There is also a random knife hanging in a wall in one scene but he chooses not to use it when the bird comes at him (Hint I write this as I watch the movie :P)

haveacigar Before I start, I want to say that flying reptiles CAN have good scenes in movies. Ex: One Million Years B.C., When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, and the only good part of Jurassic Park 3.Now then. Jurassic Park is the greatest dinosaur movie ever, or at least one of them. Pterodactyl is the complete opposite. It is filth. These pterosaurs are SUPER PTEROSAURS! They are bulletproof, have beaks and claws that can easily rip things apart, and fly fast enough to avoid missiles and make people explode by flying near them. Everything about this movie is crap. An insult to dinosaur movies everywhere.There is one good thing. Mircea Monroe is incredibly hot, and has very fine breasts. She strips down for a swim, and shows her wares nicely. Just buy a Maxim with her in it for a thousand times more entertainment than this movie.
