Tubi Thursday: Jurassic Galaxy (2018)

 For obviously no ulterior motive, let's talk about a Jurassic Film.  I just felt like it.

Anybody believe that?

I didn't think so.  This is...

A ship crashes on an alien Planet.

While they recover (what little we see of them), they are attacked by Dinosaurs.

Enjoy this shot- it's the best one of the Film.
All three of them- I guess they had to choose between more Actors and CGI Dinosaurs- wander around what is likely California...I mean, an Alien Planet.

At least Planet of the Dinosaurs had some serious '70s vibes to liven things up.

Also they're only on one Planet.  One Planet does not a Galaxy make.
I don't have alot to say here.

They meet 2 other people.
CGI Dinosaurs.
They wander.
More CGI Dinosaurs.

Here's a German Cover.
This guy- who looks like he could be in Ballistica 2 (make that Film, Asylum!)- must save one of the four other Leads from a new person- a guy marooned on the Planet for years.

I guess SPOILER ALERT...but, he's the Guy Left Behind Who Survived, so he's going to be crazy.

To be fair, the Film does get a bit different with the Ending (which I won't SPOIL).
Let's be clear- this is Jurassic Galaxy.  It was just under 75 minutes (with Credits).  It's from the Directors of some Asylum Films like Hornet, Airplane vs. Volcano (real Title) and Age of Tomorrow (an in-name rip-off of Edge of Tomorrow).

Was it great?  No.
Was it terrible?  Not really.
Was it good?  Eh, it had its moments.

The Plot is really, really stock.  It's so stock that you can use it to cook rice.  The Actors are alright.  The Writing is pretty generic.  The Setting is nothing special.  The Sci-Fi Elements are pretty bare-bones (basically a Destiny-style drone thing that doesn't talk and like 2 ships).

The real bad stuff- the CGI.  Oh man...it sucks.  It has good models (which they might have bought or rendered), but there is NO blending and the damn things never cast a shadow.  The Actor-CGI interaction is laughably bad.  Those great sprites are used terribly and make a so-so Film look bad.  As opposed to the Japanese Poster, which is awesome!

An average Film with no real ambition that is failed by its CGI.  Seriously, it's the most fake CGI I've seen in like a year!
