Sorry, Franz Kafka Fans- this one is not for you.
Instead of being about a man being turned into a bug, this Film is about China ripping off Jurassic World.
An Invisible Dinosaur? It's the callback to M.A.N.T.I.S. that I dreamed would finally come!
A joke nearly 14 years in the making. Worth the wait!
To save money, this Jurassic World-inspired Film is set entirely in a Lab and the adjacent Building.
A joke nearly 14 years in the making. Worth the wait!
No Park and a runtime that barely breaks an hour!
Seriously, this is 72 minutes WITH CREDITS.
We get a weird mix of Horror and Comedy- sometimes at the same time.
For instance, they tease showing this lady in the Shower as the Dinosaur approaches (somehow being silent!) and, of course, you see nothing.
The Dinosaur is distracted by the running water, choosing to drink it like a house cat.
How funny and...it just ate 3 people!
They escape the main part of the Building and end up in the Forest that I'm 99% sure was in Land Shark.
In this case, they actually find a giant snake...and then a second one, with horns to boot.
Well, now that we have 2 creatures, I wonder what will happen...
What a shock- the Film has the 2 creatures do battle...with about 10 minutes left in the Film.
By the way, this is an action shot, as opposed to a neat DeviantArt picture someone made.
To find out how this silly thing ends, stream it on Tubi now.
Is it good? I mean, not really. Nothing terrible happens- it is all just very cliche. Nobody stands out as a great Character or unique one.
Our Lead is a blatant copy-pasted version of Chris Pratt in the JW Films. He even has the damn vest/shirt combo!
The Film is pretty damn blatant about the whole thing, which is both impressive and sad. The invisible dinosaur, as mentioned, is based on the one in JW and the whole part with Not Pratt and Not Dallas Howard hiding from it in the building is right out of the Sequel.
The Film's big draw is the CGI creature, which, to be fair, can look pretty cool. It does have this odd Uncanny Valley thing where his eyes are oddly expressive (almost human) for a T-Rex though. It also- mild SPOILER- mutates like Land Shark did.
For a cheap Chinese knock-off, this still can be kind of fun. If you can accept that the dumb, stock Characters (also out of Land Shark) are just there to move between Monster attacks, you can enjoy it. It does a few kind of neat things, to be fair...
It is the JWC Speakers/Nikee Sneakers to the Jurassic World Films, plus a giant Snake. It's not great, but it is a good 'junk food' kind of Film.
