The four stars was awarded because I managed to watch until the end. I must admit that was hoping for some kind violent deaths, maybe some nudity. But, no, sadly, that didn't happen. Introduction of certain characters was wasted, and underused (smh). The four stars were given because it actually kept me for, unknown reasons, watching, maybe the wine, the hot chicks, or the maybe some nudity. Hang in there, have a bottle of wine before watching and you may just enjoy the time you wasted.

"Jurassic City" should be taken for what it is, which is a cash-in on the popular "Jurassic Park" franchise, complete with the fairly bad CGI dinosaurs and effects, as well as some wooden acting performances.

The story is about a group of young fraternity girls being arrested for driving and driving. They are taken to a correctional Facility that apparently also holds a hardened serial rapist. A militant group brings a load of secret cargo to aforementioned Facility, but as the cargo breaks out, the Facility becomes the hunting grounds for predatory dinosaurs.

A very generic, albeit implausible storyline with enough plot holes to make even a Swiss cheese jealous. And this is complimented by CGI animated dinosaurs that just weren't fully believable. They could have used a bit more money and effort of the CGI effects.

The movie does have a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, just to lure in the audience because the semi-famous actors didn't have that big roles after all. I am, of course, talking about Ray Wise and Vernon Wells here. The overall acting in "Jurassic City" was as to be expected from such a movie; wooden, prehistoric and forgettable.

All in all "Jurassic City" is not overly worth the time and effort, and there are far better movies in the same genre available.

Horrible acting, even worse animation. A high school crew would have made a better movie. A movie about dinosaurs getting lose in a prison. The dinosaurs were worse animated than Sponge bob. Lighting effects were non-existent. Come on, it's 2014 and you couldn't find a decent graphics artist. Every special effect was like a 15 year old game on the lowest settings. Just please no one watch this movie. Not worth a single second, let be 90 minutes. It was 90 minutes of straight torture. I'm just gonna type nonsense for the last few lines, because there's nothing more to say about this movie. It could be said in one line.. Just do not watch it and please don't let this director or producer make any more movies.

It is just wrong. CGI is cheap, monsters/blood/explosions don't connect to the set, to the lights; editing is awkward, sometimes a kill is full frontal, gory details and all, and sometimes it happens off-screen; story is as thin as you probably guessed, lines vary from utilitarian to abscond, with maybe an attempt at making it into genre sub-culture but unconvincingly so.

And light/camera work is terrible: if you where willing to actually see the faces, the expressions of the people at work in front of you during one of those "let me explain myself" scene, you are out of luck one time out of two - which is, in these times of all-digital processing, kind of a shame.

And it is full of mistakes, big and small, that you'll surely find a list of on this fine website if only people can be coerced to report on them.

I hope the people who worked that film had fun, where getting paid and all that, and legitimately didn't hold too much hopes for the success of that thing.

As much as I enjoyed Attack the Block, Pacific Rim or Independence Day or other stuff that people should obviously watch without taking it the least bit seriously, well, we are seriously into Anaconda III or various alligator/saurian Terribly Bad CGI siblings territory here; this is definitely no Snakes On A Plane.

This is officially the worst movie I have ever seen. Every single aspect is a train wreck, from the totally implausible plot to the incredibly crappy special effects. The acting is wooden, the dinosaurs came out of a cereal box, the characters are all complete idiots and the script is a disaster.

If you like movies that make you shout at the TV and do shots whenever something really stupid happens, this one's for you. It goes well with alcohol and any snack that can easily be thrown at the screen.

I loved it.

I gave this movie a 2 only because it gave me an opportunity to look at Kevin Gage... if Kevin Gage had not been in this movie I would have turned it off after the first 15 minutes. There is plenty of female eye candy in this movie, I think they might have added those scenes after they realized the movie could not stand on the dinosaur dynamics alone. I am positive not very many people are going to say this is their favorite movie... not even in the top 10,000! But... if you are a Kevin Gage fan it might be worth a gander. I need 2 more lines of text - so I will just say there is some action in this movie, just not enough to make the movie interesting.

The idea is OK, some dinosaurs escape captivity and run wild.

But...

The acting is terrible. Some of the worst I have ever seen. Too melodramatic when they should be dramatic and way too dramatic when there was no need.

The special effects are horrendous! Jurassic Park had good special effects, Jurassic City just looked fake. The dinosaurs were on a slightly different lighting level to the rest of the scene. It reminded my of the original Godzilla movies.

The story had some stupid twists, stuff that would never happen in real life and one specifically which is so bad it made me wonder what the writers were thinking.

All in all, one of the worst films I have ever seen, but not in an annoyingly bad way, just in a "what am I watching" type way. If you have 90 minutes to waste then you could do worse than this one, but it will be a waste of 90 minutes.

This is among the worst films I've ever seen. And I don't mean so bad it's funny. Because it's not even funny. It's just plain bad.I don't even know what's the worst part of it. The "acting", the horrible CGI, the total lack of continuity, the awful script, the talentless directing or the fact that nothing made any sense what-so-ever! And when you react to nothing making sense in a film like this, that says quite a lot. In fact, it was so bad that I decided to take the time to write this review just to save others the time it takes to see it.

Not funny, not scary, not cool, not entertaining. Just... Bad. Do NOT waste your time with this garbage. Watch a funny kind of bad film instead.

You have to give it one star if you don't have the strength to loose a chunk of your life torturing yourself for the full feature. However it generously delivers all it's low- expectations from the beginning enabling you to do something more useful like sort out your fridge or organise your toilet paper by different weights. The following is due to the fact that IMDb requires you to submit a minimum 10 lines, sorry in advance. 19 mins in there is some clichéd girl on girl action in a prison. The title sequence isn't bad, it matches the red of the tight short dress that the dark haired girl wears. There's a decent ironic analogy of Freud's structural model of the pschye captured through Altmanesque segues, actually there isn't I'm just fluffing out the 10 line minimum. Oh there are lingering shots of a woman's behind as she gets into a Jacuzzi. Sorry what was I reviewing again? It's already left my mind.

Amazing special effects.!!!! I love this film the special effects were literally fire 🔥 very realistic 👍👍👍👍👍👍 i need to write at least 150 characters so 👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Everyone's been too harsh on this poor movie. It's a B movie, they deserve a different kind of respect. Do people know how hard it is to make a movie? If I made this I'd be proud.

The actors acted their wee socks off and a couple of them were really good. They even had that mad punk from Mad Max II & Weird Science. He's a legend. Looking a bit different but his voice gives him away, straight away.

The cinematography was good. Whoever did the special effects did their best with whatever Jurassic software they had. The story was... well, it's a B movie.

I was glued to my seat throughout, (went for a pee once). Watched it with my grandsons & they enjoyed it immensely.

The best bit is there wasn't too much gore or bloody splatterings to make it kid unfriendly. They could have made this a very bloody movie just for the sake of it but carefully held back. Professionals in the making.

This is a good popcorn B flick. This was 10X better than Sharknado 1 and 2. This is on a par with The Blob (1958). No, actually it's better. I will definitely watch Jurassic City 2, where hopefully we get filled in on why there were dinosaurs loose in the city.

Recommended viewing. 7/10 B rating.

Either this writer has no idea how the prison system works, or he just doesn't care. The movie didn't make a lick of sense from beginning to end. I could list all the ridiculous things, but it's just not worth it. I know this is just a dumb dinosaur movie, but even so, its got to be close to real life at some point. I saw this only because of Robert LaSardo. He does a good performance but it's not enough, he is drowning in a sea of dross.

So, this movie has been through the grinder with not so many fans out there. It seems clear to me that you should not expect an A-list Blockbuster when putting this DVD in your DVD-player.

That being said, and keeping this flick being a B-movie in perspective, I quite enjoyed it. Needles to say, this movie feeds on a respectable franchise that recently got re-hyped. The movie aims at a specific audience by throwing tons of dinosaurs, minimal dressed young ladies and carnage at you. The plot is simple, but enjoyable.

The special effects and CGI are not top-nudge, but do deliver their point. The acting is not always decent, but the characters are established well enough and their characters are quite developed. The writing contains some well written plots and some over the top plot- holes. All by all, I would give this movie a 5/10.

If you're expecting a carnage filled action movie that you can enjoy on a lazy Sunday afternoon, this is the right movie for you. If you are looking for a story to captivate you, you should move along.

Writing a review of this . . . uh . . . film is not quite as bad as watching it. And if I can save anyone else the pain that I went thru, then maybe it is worth it.

Is it any good? No. Not at all.

Acting OK? No. Not at all.

Dinos rock? No. Not at all.

Interesting story? A twist maybe? No and No.

I have a soft spot for "b" movies, but I don't know what this is.

Save your money and get something else. Anything.

You might think I am being harsh or grandstanding. Believe me you will stop thinking this if you ever dare to contaminate your DVD with Jurassic City. Go for a walk instead.

I don't know how hard they tried, but they managed to put a movie out. There was hope for this movie. I love a good dinosaur-runs-amok movie done well. This was not that. Seriously, the Dino CGI was like 1984. Were they working off an Atari? The characters were uninteresting...except the serial killer and the bushy-haired guy who could sing. The movie was so much nothing that I am out of things to say. Just spend the time doing something actually worth your time and don't watch this movie. And tell your friends too. Friends don't let friends watch movies this bad.

If you like shlock or just dinosaurs eating people with awful effects, then please watch this movie it is incredible.

Obviously this movie is not good, the effects are terrible, the acting is questionable and the overall plot doesn't make much sense. But those are all things that you should know before you even watch this. It's a movie called Jurassic City with a 3.0 rating and a pretty bad looking poster. So with that out of the way you should know what you are getting yourself into and I think for that matter the movie was decent. I enjoyed that hide and seek game between our protagonists and the velociraptors in the prison. For some reason the plot entertained me and even though there's so much wrong with this movie and you could shake your head in disbelief for 88 minutes. If you enjoy trash horror and like dinosaurs and can settle with bad effects and a bad movie in general you might even enjoy this. That being said this is still a bad movie. [4,1/10]

It was so terrible we had trouble even trying to MST3K. There was no plot. The special effects were done on an Apple IIe. This movie has no redeeming qualities. Skip past it.

Juarssic City Review:

Intro:Juarssic City! It seems to me that this flick was an independent one. And guess it was made by Sean Cain. How much was that shocking? Well I'm definitely a huge fan of the Juarssic Park franchise so i better answer that question a lot quicker. So does this movie did as well as other good independent films or is it inferior to the entirety of Juarssic Park movies? Let's find out.

Story:The story of this film as you know is somehow predictable and forgettable! yep I said that. You see the plot of the movie is just bull crap. All of it is written stupidly. You stupid Sean Cain! Go get a life! Oh and the ending was poorly-clichéd. Yeah like that of course. Like i said before all the story is predictable forgettable stupid and just bull crap. 3/10

Animation: I can not start looking at the CGI dinosaurs from this flick. They're just terrible! I ADIMIT IT! they're all terrible! And you know what? I don't extremely care about them. Also I felt a bit frustrated about the rest of the movie's animation. These dinosaurs are all nothing but terribly-animated animals! I just prefer the ones from the Juarssic Park trilogy and Juarssic World. I for one bet that you never knew that all the movie's animation a bit frustrating and very terrible! 3/10

Characters:Just so you know the Characters of the film are annoying and idiotic as ever. Even the dinosaurs acted way terribly. All of them are out of character and given no character development. They're dumb they're bold and they all just need to go ahead and screw themselves. And yep they're annoying and completely idiotic as I said before. Screw you Sean Cain! 3/10

Outro:Hey guys do you want to know what I can say after watching this movie? I would never do so again. With a predictable stupid forgettable and crappy story terrible animation and characters that are annoying and completely idiotic as ever this flick is truly inferior to the whole and entire Jurassic Park franchise. And yes I definitely order you folks to stay away from it because you're with all the Juarssic Park films The Land Before Time and maybe even Disney's Dinosaur. While this movie may not be one of the worst independent films ever it's extremely perfect for me to give it 3 dying T-Rex faces out of 10. Mr Sean Cain I hate you. And you know what? I think you should give up your own career and rot in hell forever. Now if you guys will excuse me I better put my very own Indomuins Rex in my dinosaur movie called Jurassic Box-Office!

My rating 3/10 * and a half stars

I only gave it about 3 minutes. That was still 3 minutes of precious life it didn't deserve. If you want to see just how rock-bottom a production can be, then this is the one for you, I suppose.
