Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe live action scenes and a majority of the stop motion effects were all filmed in 1994, but David Allen, the director, had passed away due to cancer in 1999. The studio that was making this movie, Full Moon Studios, was also having financial issues so they had to keep postponing the production of the movie, until they ran out of money and had to shelf it. In 2019, after an online fundraising campaign, the original effects artist, Chris Endicott, returned to complete the remaining stop motion sequences.
- Alternate versionsTwo edits were created, one for general release, and "The David Allen Version," which was compiled for home video. Running 7 minutes longer, it features several unfinished scenes in which storyboarded creatures are animated into the filmed footage. Notable scenes include an extended sequence in which the group tries to evade a dinosaur-like creature, a more extensive flashback scene in the UFO, and numerous additional moments with the creatures at the film's climax.

Featured review
I don't know why this movie is rated so low. It's not great but it is entertaining. It feels like a 90's episode of The Lost World, but in a good way. Every ten minutes a new plot twist is implemented, and the action is fun. Cheesy, but fun. I can point out its flaws such as the cardboard acting, forgettable stereotypical characters, low budget sets, etc., but it all adds to the entertainment value. If you like conspiracy theories, movie making, and/or 90's style adventure this movie is for you. And, as others have surely harped on, the stop motion is great. It feels slow-mo in places, but it's something that can be overlooked. I enjoyed this movie.
