jefuab I have loved this film since I was about twelve! The Dinosaurs are ridiculously designed by the awesome John Buechler, but they have the watchable charm and unique-ness that most of his rubbery creations have; the acting is BAD, but there's no one in it I don't want to watch, they're all likable actors and actresses; there's so much blood and gore it could have been shot over the naff sets from a fire-hose, the script is really unimaginative but the cast make it work in a strange sort of way and it's Roger Corman!There are many things wrong with it but I think it's a great way to spend an hour and a half. It's thrilling, involving, and fun. Watch the film!
kclipper Monster fans might get some minor excitement over the third and final entry in producer, Roger Corman's Jurassic Park parody/rip-off about carnivorous dinosaurs (hence the title) munching on military macho types while scientists pursue their agendas for the hungry reptiles used as unstoppable biological weapons. Its a premise that worked well on a modest budget with laughable creature effects and plenty of gore for the first couple of films, but now it seems that all of the originality and ambition has been exhausted in a final attempt to cash in on a sequel-happy studio franchise. Rubbery-looking monsters, nonstop "Warsploitation" clichés, and amateurish performances are just a few reminders that the 1990's direct-to-video craze has been long swept under the carpet resulting in many rare out-of-print digital copies making their way across the Internet. The 'Carnosaur' trilogy is one of those long forgotten series of films that fall into that category. Its too bad that the series ended on a ridiculous note such as this. Billed as 'Primal Species', this is so predictable and washed-out that it doesn't even really matter if Scott Valentine's "war face" is hilarious, or if watching moronic cops and brainless bad guys getting chewed up by what looks like a toy T-Rex you had as a child is your thing. The direction is incompetent, and the editing is a disaster. The monsters get very little screen-time as the camera clumsily fumbles around the action, and minimal bloodshed and gore give this last installment an unsatisfactory grade. Its laughable at best.
mikelcat Everything in this film is bad , the story , the acting , the effects but its funny , funny , funny !!!Scott Valentine with the army uniform thats ten sizes too big is so bad with the permanent attempt at a scowl on his face as the leader of a special ops group its hilarious ! The ''terrorists'' are as scary and realistic as the ''raptors'' , this is so phoney and bad at everything it tries you have to laugh .The part where the giant T-REX who somehow snuck on board a ship and then somehow got below is blown up and you see the metal pole sticking up where its head was is the perfect ending .If your into bad films , this is the pot of gold , the mona lisa of b-b-bad !!!
Tony Howe I haven't seen the first two - only this one which is called Primal Species in England. I don't think I'll be bothering to look them out though.This is an awful film. Terrible acting, bad dialogue, cheap rubber monsters. Everything about it is so nasty. The most sympathetic characters die really quickly and leave you with the annoying ones, especially one called Polchak, who is an incredible jerk. No-one like that would survive 5 minutes in the army. He lasted for ages but I was pleased when he finally got his head got chewed off - I was having nightmares he was going to survive. The Colonel was rubbish too - all moody pouts and clueless shouting. And the specky Doctor looked and acted like she was out of a porno. I was waiting for her to take her glasses off, shake her hair and turn into a vamp, but she didn't. Pity that, as it would've livened the film up no end.Didn't Roger Corman used to make half decent films once?
