Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Leofwine_draca THE DINOSAUR PROJECT is (somewhat surprisingly) a British B-movie that charts a group of explorers and documentary film-makers as they venture deep into the Congo in search of a legendary dinosaur said to exist somewhere within the jungle swamps. It's low budget and badly written, with some moments that are frankly boring given the material, but it's not the worst of this genre.The biggest problem with the movie is the decision to go for a family-friendly rating. Thus any deaths or attacks by dinosaurs are kept off-screen, robbing the movie of suspense and entertainment value. It's clear that the producers were going for a 'JURASSIC PARK as found footage' vibe, but it's not really all that successful.The no-name cast don't really contribute any decent performances of note, and the characters are weak. At times, like with the introduction of a friendly dinosaur, this feels more like BABY: SECRET OF THE LOST LEGEND than a proper adult film. I can't imagine many people sitting through it are likely to enjoy that sort of stuff. The effects are workable rather than remarkable and there's a twist or two of sorts to keep you going, but it's all rather predictable and the ending just sort of fizzes out. Not very memorable.
unclegerald2004 It's a fun movie. The lead is an Indiana Jones complete with the hat. The cute son who wasn't allowed on the trip I knew was going to sneak aboard the helicopter, and I knew the helicopter was going to be brought down by pterodactyls. The hot supermodel blonde doctor was casted for her ability to wear a tight tank top in the Congo. Too bad they killed her off fast, I thought they were going for the slow motion Baywatch effect. That would have been fun. Even the Blair Witch-like filming was fun.If I were attacked by a flock of man-eating "anything" in the middle of he night, I'd probably wouldn't run into the forest towards the river because predators hunt at the waters edge, but it worked out for them, and while on the river I realized that everyone on this "project" was going to die, it was just a matter of time and how.It's like the first jaws. It's kinda fun. It's actually pretty good.
bilejo I imagine there are some who may like this movie however I found it to be uninteresting. It reminds me of Cloverfield and the Blair Witch Project and the only thing impressive was the computer generated images. In my opinion the acting was mediocre to good (by most of the cast) but I felt it lacking in many aspects. It had scenes that I felt took away rather than added to the 'suspense' factor. I thought this production was disappointing for the most part. I guess I was expecting more due to the catchy title. Luckily I got it from Red Box and didn't spend too much on it. I'd do the same to preview it before buying it just to see if I would want to invest the money.
evk311 this must have been one of the best movies i have seen in a theater for a long time, do you know that feeling when you leave the theater and think , boy that end sucks , well : not in this movie . i had no idea what to expect , but went with an open mind to see something about Jurassic park or so , which should be kind of cool. it was a little different than Jurassic but WOW what a great movie. it is about this high tech computer whizkid , crazy about portable mini cameras that sneaks into his father's expedition to Africa to find out more about unknown animals. the story doesn't get bored for a second and kept me excited till the very end. anyone who don't like this movie should not have been thinking about go see this in the first place. you know it is about dinosaurs etc. and that is what you are going to see. and in a very interesting storyline. i can't say too much about it. but only that i really liked it a lot. let me just say that my favorite part of the movie is where he got spit in his face. that was genius. if you saw the movie you know what i mean . i gave it 9 , which is Excellent.
