The Eden Formula

I remember many years ago seeing the original "Jurassic Park" at the cinema! Never before had I seen such spectacle, with state of the art special effects, incredible thrills and a narrative to die for! After seeing this movie I can finally say that JP has been out done! the Tyrannosaurus in this movie for all intents and purposes, looks living and breathing! If you didn't know better, you would swear that you were watching actual footage of the dinosaur age because that is how realistic it is! When it goes on the attack, I was on the edge of my seat! The performances in this movie are incredible! Jeff Fahey comes across as a solid combination of Steven Seagal, Van Damme and Stallone at their prime, and he easily matches the ferocious T-Rex in terms of a gigantic performance! The narrative is a thrill a minute, with twists and turns and unexpected narrative arcs! It is like Pulp Fiction times ten! The writers should be proud of themselves! Every ten years or so a movie comes along that changes the face of cinema! in 2006 that movie was "The Eden Formula"!

I got this as a turkey movie and was I not disappointed.

Acting - overall even though many have been in other movies it is clear that they had to work hard to act this bad so constantly over this entire movie with out accidentally letting slip some degree of acting.

Plot - being generous I could say that the scriptwriter did originally start with a plot but but did his best to ignore it. the plot broke down faster then a Chinese knock off computer

Scrip - now that was an abomination of nature. it failed to flow with any rhyme or reason. the majority of the lines by the characters were at best pathetic to imbecilic. the script worked hard to make sure that no character managed to get to be considered memorable. I have watched other movies where the extras were more interesting and memorable.

Special effects - ROTFLMAO!!!!! They were short bus special

Directing - until you can come up with your own directing ability copy the style of your favorite directer otherwise you will only make failures like this.

It is good to know that your friends/family have been giving you 10 stars for this movie

Bad, terrible, but ultimately enjoyable. How can anyone not love this? I'd rather see bad puppets and recycled footage, than another lame-ass CG romp. I prefer the alternative title to this "Tyrannosaurus Wrecks". A bit of martial arts, a few moments of comedy, bizarrely placed car chases. This film makes the most of its budget, which is pretty much nothing. At least it has genuine talent such as Fahey, Todd and Wallace Stone, to push and pull the "plot" along. I'll never forget the wonderfully placed film- set satire scene. I do question whether these people are trying to make money, a good film, or just an enjoyable film. Well, this certainly ends up being infinitely enjoyable, but I guess the love of cheese is required.

Genuinely a cinematic master peice. This is the best movie I've seen in a while. Paying 3 bucks the get cd was worth it. I love this film and everyone in it and everything ABT it bro the CGI is next level special effects team searched more praise best film I've seen in at least 6. The amount of good acting was actually insane. It also keeps you on edge the whole time with that tyrannosaurus on the lose you'll never know what's gonna happen. The film on a film part was hilarious. Idk how this film has a bad rating cuz this was 2006 after all. Every character bought something to the table. Best film ever.

"THE EDEN FORMULA" (2006, Beuchler) is the fifth instalment in the "CARNOSAUR" series of films. I haven't made up my mind as to which is worse out of this and "RAPTOR" (2001, Wynorski) as they both rely heavily on the reuse of footage from previous CARNOSAUR films. But I guess this has a lot of new stuff that could be recycled if they ever make a sixth. "THE EDEN FORMULA" is "CARNOSAUR 5: DIE HARD".

Tony Todd is hilarious, as are Jeff Fahey and Dee Wallace, but Todd definitely steals the show.

The Rex is great fun, as are all the dinosaurs in this series of movies. It's worth noting that the Rex only seems to eat people that we don't like.

I recommend this film for its comedy value but I guess I only recommend it to those who have seen the other Carnosaur films.
