    Machine guns, dinosaurs, and bad acting.

    I was expecting a big, over-the-top action movie, and boy was I disappointed. This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen. At first I thought, OK, the writing is kinda bad. And then, OK, the acting is actually pretty horrible as well. And then there was the cinematography. Some of the shots are so ridiculous and posed, that I found myself laughing at the stupidity.

    As the plot progressed, I found myself questioning whether or not this was a serious movie, or some kind of spoof. Everything about it was just so bad. But if it was a spoof, then the humor was completely missing.

    No, it turned out that this was an actual attempt at a sci-fi action flick. Do not waste your time with this movie.

    Don't waste time and/or money on this...

    heyho!

    im usually into these kinds of films, but this was really, really bad... extremely poor writing (navy base standard vehicle is a Hummer H2? WTF? and so on...)

    poor sound FX (guns sound like paintball guns)...

    poor movie overall...

    well, i understand budget issues and all the likes, but this actually looked like a movie from the 90's....ok, the early 90's... I've seen some computer games A FEW YEARS ago, which had better/ more compelling stories and SFX than this movie..go and watch Primeval...much more fun and much more sophisticated... This move would be something for, lets say a 11:30 pm timeslot on German public TV....yes..it is that bad...

    please don't waste your time! Felix

    what was that?

    mistakes rollover this non-movie movie...

    it tells about a trip to 100 m b.c. but after that lots of practical mistakes ...

    Direction is too bad , and the worst is visual effects , i mean in between frames shots to prehistoric animals , beside it does look like a 1960's dinosaurs movie , guys wake up we are in the 21 century .....

    I mean at least be like Jurassic park Worst sound effects , story and actions are lame ...

    I wasted 90 minutes in this nonsense and i hope it is never on the big screen

    Is one out of ten really the lowest score I can give?

    Quite possibly the worst movie I've seen in 45 years of watching movies. It's not even so bad that it crosses the line into humour.

    Just plain pathetic. On every level. The only redeeming factor is that the worst actor in it gets eaten early on (by something masquerading as a dinosaur that is a disturbing cross between CGI written in DOS and a sock puppet). However, exactly who the worst actor is might have you guessing for a goodly portion of the "movie". Trust me, you do not want to waste 90 minutes of your life trying to figure out which one of the cast is stinking up the screen more.

    The FX are not so much "special" as "papier-mâché". The camera work is distinctly amateurish and the plot, such as it is, has at least one WWII personnel carrier driven right through it. Really, yes it does!

    Avoid at all costs.

    Good story, very bad movie

    The CGI of this thing, Mr. Lucas did a better job back in 1977 when he created Star Wars. Not to mention the camera work. As awful as I have ever seen. Think Godzilla - the one from the fifties. Might be a budget thing.

    The story however, I liked very much. I must admit I'm a sucker for this kind of s.f. (the kind that touches the current-day world). It's about a secret government project gone very bad. In WO II the US government experimented with a technology that could potentially make objects invisible. In stead, they stumbled on a way to time travel. On the first away mission, things went terribly wrong and the team got stranded about 70 million years ago. The scientist responsible for the project takes this failure personally and for the next 60 years he plans on getting them back. One day he gets his chance and joins a rescue team back into the prehistoric age. When they return however, they bring back more than they hoped for.

    If you can see past the bad acting, bad camera work and very VERY bad CGI, you could well like this movie. I didn't and the 3/10 points it got from me are purely for the story.

    • Trivia
      It is very much possible that the creators of the movie may have wanted more character development in the marines. Evidence of this is seen in the deleted scene of showing what the marines did the night before the time jump, such as Burke talking in his phone seemingly about family issues by the way he makes stressful gestures with his hands, while Jones and Manriquez play a game of cards ending with Jones saying a vulgar remark about Manriquez's mother. Since the movie was partially rushed due to a deadline, most of the marines ended up with little to no character development and are often cited as the most bland characters in the movie, with Reno and the old research team being the only ones with character. Despite all this, they are some of the most important characters in the first half of the movie.
    • Goofs
      Dr. Reno says; "We're going to attempt to bend light using electromagnetic radiation", which is patent nonsense. Light *is* electromagnetic radiation, along with ultra-violet, x-rays, microwaves, infra-red and radio waves - none of which will bend light.
