Quite unexpectedly, Coolio is the best actor in the picture - by a landslide. Go to Full Review

Tyson D. @Spudsprout Jun 11 (Overall Rating: 1.25/5) (Very Bad) --- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 1/5) Laughably terrible SFX, sound design, camera-work, "spec-ops" representation, etc. The list goes on. --- (Storyline/Plot: 1/5) The most basic form of a plot might exist here, but thats not why one would watch this film. --- (Acting: 1.5/5) Nothing the actors did was believable but I have seen worse. The actors kept me guessing if they took these roles seriously or not. I really hope they didnt. --- (Character Quality: .5/5) Awfully written characters with absolutely terrible lines. Cliche in almost every way. --- (Entertainment Value: 2/5) If laughing at a genuinely bad movie is your idea of a good time, this could satisfy that itch. Unlimited ammo is also always fun! --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 1.5/5) I was honestly hoping for an even worse film but I think this was supposed to be at least kind of serious which doesn't help it's own case. See more 05/19/2020 The effects vary from pretty bad to very bad, it's pretty standard when you think about the production house it came from. The only reason you might be even slightly surprised by how bad it is, is that the director is also somehow responsible for Commando, Firestarter and Class of 1984 in the 80s. See more 11/12/2014 Just cheesy and F/X filled to entertain, but not very good, even in a B-movie sense. See more 11/10/2012 If you like Coolio, dinosaurs, and great acting, you'll love it! Nuff said See more 05/29/2012 Coolio en force special.... Mouarfffff See more 03/11/2012 The animation isn't too bad but the story isn't all too great, but it's a decent Dinosaur film with a bit of gore and nice scenes, but the characters aren't too good and there's a lot of cheap parts.
