Triassic Hunt is a sequel to the 2018 film Triassic World, clearly a mockbuster of Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Instead of a dinosaur zoo/theme park though, we have dinosaurs that were supposed to be growing human organs and when that failed miserably, they decided to transport a male and female to Costa Rica, because of course.
Things quickly go wrong from the start, not just in terms of the dinosaurs immediately escaping and killing people, but in terms of the plot and major plot holes. I don't think even having our wonderful creature feature star, Danny Trejo could have saved this disaster of a film.
After the dinosaurs get away in an industrial park of some sort, the for hire mercenaries that were transporting the allosaurs must get their whole team together to recapture them...alive. But it turns out the company that hired them has set them up as a demonstration to sell the allosaurs as a weapon. They are supposed to have human level intelligence as well making this even more difficult.
There's so many problems with this. Let's first start with the fact that they are trying to sell these 2 allosaurs' as a weapon, which already is a bad idea since they are supposed to be really smart, but apparently don't do as they are told. They also are taking a huge risk that one or both of these creatures could end up being killed, which there goes your profit. Next, let's also take a quick moment to talk about the design of these allosaurs' cause it's bad. Aside from the subpar CGI, they have the biggest hips, so these are killing machines that probably won't be able to walk in a couple years due to massive hip dysplasia. Another huge plot flaw is the list of countries bidding that supposedly have a GDP to afford them. They could have at least done a quick google search to see which countries could afford them, but they start the bid at a half a billion and that's only for 1 of these dinos! While some of the countries that are listed are believable, I have a really hard time believing that Kosovo, Cyprus, and Moldova can afford this.
This movie's really only redeeming quality is that it's fun to riff. If you enjoy watching a movie to laugh at with friends, then you'll have a great time with this, but aside from that, then don't waste your time with this.
