I hate it when a movie has some qualities that are overshadowed by such awfulness that it totally destroys the film., For me, seeing the characters, most of which seem to know which end of the camera is the important bit seemed to offer promise. But seeing the directors take on what makes a film is both disgusting, and ludicrously bad film making. For instance, every time the camera sets down, it is focused on the female leads breast, crotch, or ass, and remains there while the dialogue plays out.,, or it sits there for some time while in no way advancing the story. Its like it was calculated what shot would appeal to juvenile prurient interest, and tries to exploit it. Then the directors involvement as an actor, talk about heavy handed, there are many, many shots of the cameraman, focusing in for a nattering boring close up that is exactly perfectly focused, no matter how terrified the cameraman is supposed to be. Why are only those shots in perfect focus you might ask. I suspect its due to lack of knowledge of his craft, ego, and a lot of poor taste.

The characters that had the potential of more interest, Tim who seemed to overact every time he had his glasses on, which made a character more like a cartoon; but when he took the glasses off he was someone else. Then there was the alpha male, who specialized in predator, and primate behaviour studies, never really did anything very interesting at all.

Then there is the special effect dinosaurs, looked poorly crafted, shown in very bad light, blurred by motion, and only visible for a second, or two.

From lighting, to camera angles, to acting, to plot, to writing, to acting, to directing, there was such unevenness that the most I could have given the film is a three. However the 1/10 I gave it still stands, as it was such a waste of time from out of my life.

It so bad one of them is that you can not see the main character and the other one is that the t-rex look like something you would find at a kids theme park with bad robots and it just dull and boring.

I feel the need to explain the story behind this movie and my experience with it. Back in 2016, I went to England. During that trip I bought some DVD's. One of these movies was this movie. It then sat on my shelf at home up until today, where I went and watched it. I hoped, I hoped it would be ok. But it wasn't. The movie uses animatronics, I would be bumping this up a 2 for that. However in 1 shot you can literally see the people moving them, and in another shot they use CGI. The characters are all wooden and aren't acted well at all. The camera man is bad, in the sense he just films everything and makes crass and just annoying comments. The setting is obviously not the amazon jungle, and the writing is laughable. There is one character in the movie who I guess is supposed to be shy on camera? but oh god it's awful, it's unbearably awkward. Overall, save yourself the horror of this. I see the vision behind this film, but I just can't give this anything higher.
