Be prepared to use subtitles if you aren't an Aussie!!! Background music and sound effects at the same level as speech, whispering with words flowing together.... Cannot understand without subtitles. Major distraction, can't see the movie... Only readable. The camera work leaves so much to be desired, almost all close up shots and jarring around, the kind that makes you sea-sick. Could have been so much better with voices you could hear and without the (Cloverfield) effect!

Whaf a racid steaming pile of dino-dung!... I lovex it!!! 🖐🤣👌

If your looking for an movie thats very funny good; don't not watch this one as it is frighteningly and axiting. There is a very pretty femaile lady who fights with a dinosore. She is good at acting; but the cameraman is not a good cameraman, he talks over the lad-y and keeps looking at her bum and brests. The south African is a wolly. This movie was like paranormal activity meets Jurassic park only it wasn't as good as either of those. If you ever get the chance to watch this movie you should probably not do that and do something else...like knitting...or masonry...or catching a delicious bass...or joinery...or shopping for fashion..or fission..or fission for fashion. Probably don't watch this film. But don't just take my word for it, find out for yourselves...was this review helpful?

The success of a film like this depends as much on your expectations as the film. Being a monster born of the Blair Witch Project so long ago, 1999. you know it will have long stretches of nothing happening, and you will be lucky to see much of the monster, but should have realism beyond any 'fiction' film to compensate. And this one has the advantage the monsters were real, a long time ago....in a world where we live. In this film it would be inexcusable not to show the title monster. But I also had fairly high expectations, along with a willingness to go along for the ride. The best feature was the high realism throughout of the characters and what happened, allowing for believability and actual tension, as well as the inevitable tedium. Real tension and fear is created with sounds. So, given this documentary-type film's realism, anticipation of the dinosaurs in this was different than any Jurassic Park. It was increased, because it was more real. So I anticipated that when the first dino appeared the reality would go bye bye. And though it threatened to at first, I employed my motto I just made up now - forgiveness is its own reward - and the later encounters easily verged on utterly believable. Maybe my expectations included I really wanted to believe it. Plus the fact I kind of like Raptor Island and the recent dino movies of CGI dinos, for the fun of it, and even the mid-90's Carnosaurus trilogy. Yes, I wanted my belief to have the gravity of a real dinosaur, while my suspension of disbelief was lifted. Even better for me was that it took me a long time to figure out how it was done. Maybe my desire to believe got the better of me. Like this sub-genre of found footage should be: The maxim of maximum potential in most limitations. Was this CGI? It looked so solid. Was this a stroke of genius? But later, two lines lifted from Jurassic Park disappointed me and took me out of this movie. Until I realised the filmmaker was not just taking; he was adding. He knew what he doing I think, because of the new contexts, or outcomes, he put them in. So he gave a couple of nods to the original best, while looking at it - in the other direction. Unlike the other E film, or Ex film - Exists, a FFF about BigFoot - these creatures were done largely in the day, I'm thankful for. The filmmakers mostly took care to maximise them being believable. Likewise, the peoples' realism and fear was maintained, but also increased. Right til after the end and even beyond it. I for one would like to see the sequel! On a final note, though this film, like all the others, did not fulfil the holy grave, err grail, of a dino actually eating a person how it would be, that Jurassic Disney Park should have done first, it may have come the closest a couple of times.

Wanted to waste some time and I most certainly did!! Shame a lot of low budget films nowadays (and this seemed very much like one!), seem to want to film in a self-filmed view! This film is not worth wasting your time on I'm afraid! Sometimes you get a lower budget gem and its worth it, like tremors, but this isn't anything great! I'd rather watch Cloverfield and thats saying something! Have given it 2 stars because I'm sure I've seen worse, but shut it out of my memory, and it did waste a little time (although not the running length of the film because fast-forward was used!! Thought I'd give a real review rather than sugar-coat it!!

Giving a 1 star is a drastic rating, its not Garbage pail kids level but it is very dishonest, and dishonesty is as bad as a bad film itself. I'll break this down on the cover we have the quotes from 'reviews' stating: 'An unrelenting, unstoppable thrill ride' 'Packed with Monsters' 'A truly terrifying movie' I'm not making that up, that is how the film is described as by these 'reviews' to cap it off the poster has a oversized T-Rex facing down at one of the characters who is actually (in the film) a seasoned guide/survival expert Professor John Howson played by Ben Loyd-Holme (who is also the writer and producer. It should be noted that this person is the only tough guy in the film and even fights a T-rex in combat. So already the cover has misleading quotes and spearheaded by someone whose ego is dictating the project. The cover is mentioned because from the pic to its description of action you wouldn't think it as a found footage film, also the very large T-Rex does not appear, in the last few minutes of the film something knocks the car off but if you were hoping to see that giant then prepared to be disappointed. And as for 'Packed with monsters' there's only one T-rex and its a small one, now to be fair they don't go CG like asylum do but the lure of exciting adventure and boast of different creatures simply don't exist. What you get is an apparent cameraman (Daniel Caren as 'James') he is a self centred selfie seeking character he tries to be funny but he is beyond annoying, using a camera to record wildlife to also record breasts and his own face and ego. None of the characters are likable but James is far more annoying and undergoes a severe character change, early on he freaks out when a stick insect is on his face, yet once the T-rex arrives he becomes macho and the woman who he worked for who was a strong character herself is now reduced to hugging his chest for strength. And am not making that up. There is nothing in the story its the same 'explore the unknown' routine, with the dino not arriving till 15 minutes from end and even shoddy camera work hinders so much. There is no story with scenes stolen from blair witch project, cloverfield and even lord of the rings. There is just no story and all this does is tick off the clichés it aimed for. Don't even get this on loan from the library.
