carlesmiquel Sadly, this film pushes the envelope to places you don't want to be, namely, where suspense of belief is not enough. You have to be totally into buying a bit of thrill where you're own stupidity must play a significant role. No sound in the chopper (not even Air Force Two is that silent), no natural reactions of people when they should be... incredibly predictable everything. But, alas! in the end, the product is fun to watch if you can bear with the first 20 minutes or more. That's the part which I can't understand today: 1) you're committed to watch it, 2) you're stupid and 3) you're committed to watch it. So... don't feel committed as I did. Just watch the first 20 minutes and you'll see for yourself. It's not fair to write so badly when you're trying to catch the imagination of your audience. But they did it in a very lame way. I don't know if they caught anybody's imagination at all. The other thing that doesn't help is the hand-held shooting of the film. Real life amateurs with GoPros or iPhones don't have such a messy job, Documentarists never shake so badly with a heavy camera, and NEVER throw the zoom into the 100's like crazy. Not even kids do it that way today. They know better.If they wrote a better opening, if the acting wasn't so cheesy and if the cameras (not the sound ???) were not handled by monkeys, this could be a fun film to watch.
Northtribe3 The film is about a group of British people that decide to go to the Congo jungle to get proof of that dinosaurs really exists but when they crash with their plane the major problems starts to escalate. The characters are so predictable and you realize very early in the film that it is so clearly that they wanted to capitalize on Jurassic Park, now by any means that's not a bad idea because they just wanted to make it more like a found footage type of movie with dinosaurs and the idea itself isn't too bad but the way it's executed just makes the movie fall flat. Some of the main problems with it is that: 1. the acting is terrible 2. the cgi was laughably bad at parts 3. the characters were all very predictableFor example you can clearly see or notice in the movie very early on that they did not care for the acting, it feels like they thought like this: "Just as long as the character Jonathan Marchant looks like Alan Grant it will be alright". Now this made me laugh so hard because he really looked like Sam Neill but his acting was very bad. Another problem with it is that it feels like the filmmakers sometimes didn't know what type of movie they wanted to make and unfortunately for them the movie turned out to be a complete mess. One example of this is when they've been sort of stranded and just got to shore and the son of the Jonathan Marchant character from no where comes up to him and asks him a bunch of questions from his point of view (found footage style). At this part I yelled out "Interview Time!" because that scene came out of no where. So finally am I able to recommend The Dinosaur Project? Well my answer is NO. If you're still interested in checking it out I recommend you to watch it with a couple of friends so you all can have a laugh at it. Then it might at least get a little more entertaining. My rating: 4/10 Stars
ironman2561 I won't spoil anything about this but this was the most disgraceful god awful dinosaur movie ever even written or filmed my recommendation you want a good dinosaur movie I would recommend the documentary dealing with Pannagonia I believe the area is called because that one is a fantastic film and if you want a good science fiction thriller Journey to the Center of the Earth.There isn't a lot to say other than a lot of the camera angles and shots sucked and were frustrating to follow, I truly didn't need a family history, and their were multiple errors and problems with the dinosaurs. Again I will end that if you really truthfully love dinosaurs PLEASE DO NOT waste your time watching this film.
cereza1000 I just watched the movie and I have to say that it disappointed me, first of all, the moving camera, the shooting style of the film is total dizziness like "Monstruoso"(spanish title), the characters are the typical ones,not developed,in two words, nothing new, the relationship between father and son is unbelievable, similar to "Sanctuary" but worse developed than Sanctuary, another laughable and lacking sense scene was the boy find a baby dinosaur and then it defend the boy from the bad guy, an awful bad guy because he was very foreseeable, I don't know what is worse, the dinosaur defending the boy or the bad guy,the film is a joke itself, poor script with a lot of holes and a bad acting.
