What a fun movie. I was laughing out loud because director/writer John Carl Buechler has created a brilliant spoof of the whole Dino DNA genre. He takes nothing seriously when it comes to Dino deaths -- they're so funny, and it's because he wrote them that way. This wasn't humor by accident. John Carl ... was that you playing the 'crazy' director who gets his head bit off? I thought so. The New Yorker on the bench. The poor janitor with the Dino poo. The homeless dude. Funny. Funny. Funny.
I can't say enough about the movie. Dee Wallace Stone and Jeff Fahey, two actors I consider among my favorite performers, have never let us down. They are four star class-acts in every frame in every film they appear in. They both looked great too.
What we have here is a spoof, think Jurassic Park. Twists and turns in the plot keep you on your toes. A high funny body count, all the arch-types associated with the "science gone mad" sub-genre and enough surprises to keep the running time worth your time. If you have problems with this film -- you have problems -- see a shrink. Yes! The special effects were not "blockbuster", so they didn't have the money. So what does director Buechler do? He makes it obvious that he knows they're not good. At one point the Rex looks like a puppet bouncing along. You don't honestly think the man believed it was good. He probably said, "Hey I have a limit here. So screw it, let's go the other way and make it all self-aware." That's comedy!
McVicker's announcement to her majesty. Awesome. The insistence of using "sore" and not mad. Tony Todd is always fun to watch, but this role was perfect for him.
The last lines between Fahey and Stone were very funny and so true."The pressure" Loved it. I will look for this man's name in the future to see what other stuff he produces.
To all you stuffed shirts crying about production qualities. Grow up. Every film can't have 100 million dollar budget. So enjoy the little, imperfect things in life that can bring you joy, if you can get off your high horse long enough.
JOHN CARL YOU ROCK!
