Jurassic Island

I put this on to have a laugh at some inept and shocking film making but am actually not that shocked. Yes it starts off terribly but as soon as the lead enters it gets better. She is not a bad actress and most of the supporting cast arent terrible either. A couple are terrible though. Aside from the CGI, the quality of acting, prod values, cinematography and score are about at the level of a BBC crime drama, which is high praise for a movie like this. Basically I have seen much much worse and at least the actors know how to act fairly convincingly. So, on these fronts it isn't too bad at all. The CGI is atrocious. I know we couldn't expect Jurassic Park levels of CGI but it is 2022 and surely there's a ton of good CGI compositors out there now for a reasonable price. Obviously not. As the movie is based on dinosaurs and it's kind of the theme having bad CGI really lets it down. If you really suspend disbelief you may be able to get past it, we all knew the dino's in Jurrasic Park were fake after all, but they were convincincing when you were immersed in the movie of course. I guess most of the really bad movies I've seen were from the 90's and 2000's and I haven't seen any low budget modern ones before this. I'm surprised how much the quality of the lowest budget films has wrisen over the last decade or so, if this movie is anything to go by. I supposed good quality film equipent is cheaper, or rather, you can do a lot more with less, including drones and such and learning to act is more accessible. Anyway, apologies for the non-review that's more of a ramble about modern low budget films.

First you think of an idea that has already been done. Then you give it a name nobody could possibly like....on the best seller list for 18 months!....one of the greatest movies of all time, sir! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!

This movie is a silly combination of other movies, with every scene a cliché. My impression: a middle schooler gave the story to their parent, a wealthy producer, with the kid's friends directing, editing, and producing the audio and cgi. I'm giving it some points for scenery and camerawork, but the points deducted for noticable mistakes are too many to list. Also minus a point for mixing zombies with dinosaurs, its only distinguishing feature and not a good- or original- idea. In fact, this would be a good one for a film studies class since it's densely packed with things a filmmaker should avoid.

Dinosaurs walk among us! I cried several times, and then clapped when it ended. Will be revisiting this HIDDEN GEM several more time. Utterly unbelievable.

It was not worth the time or the money to watch this. I actually enjoyed the Jurassic movies but this one really ruined it. So fake. My daughter and her friend laughed the entire time at how fake and unrealistic it all was.

Ahem, what can I say.... it was so bad I watched it through to the end actually hoping that none of them got off the island. Ham acting all around especially the zombie with the wiggling tongue. I wondered if they meant it to be this bad.....so bad it was watchable. As previous reviewer said, if they had run with the idea that this is a spoof, they might have got away with it as there were some out loud laughs due to the direction. The dinosaurs were spectacularly awful, I think it brought to mind graphics from the 1980s, and the lack of detail to the background continuation was shameful. However if they only had a £100 to spend I suppose its not bad (the price of hiring a huge maritime sail boat and an cornucopian hip flask)
