User Reviews

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.
