It’s a shame about the level of stupidity in many of the scenes, because the natural settings are atmospheric and the monsters are impressive. The idea of setting the story on Earth before our civilization, in the age of dinosaurs, is also fine. Sci-fi B-movies require at least a bit of common sense, which is all the more true with smaller budgets. Here, with solid production under the baton of Sam Raimi and an A-list actor in the lead role, the absence of intelligence is an even greater drawback.

An advanced civilization embarking on interplanetary journeys, yet they have their tools tossed in a drawer in a workshop? And when things get tough, their representative pulls out a 100 feet of rope from a marshal's bag? Was the rope on board in case they needed to tow another spaceship? Did we adopt our units of time and length from them? And what about that sharp bone smeared with red berry juice—will its moment ever come? What a geyser! Scott Beck and Bryan Woods might have been handed this as a reward for A Quiet Place, but for the audience, it’s more like a punishment. Just like in Haunt, the problem lies with the editing and the continuity of the scenes; the tension is nonexistent, and the idiocy is cranked up to the max. I was expecting Adam Driver to step on a mosquito and alter history, but considering the origins of his character, that wouldn’t have provided the right backdrop of determinism. So, in the end, he only stumbled with his choice of role... well, let’s say he missed the mark.

Great premise! I wanted to see something like this, as a kid, 25 years ago. 65 had more potential. So many great possibilities. It could have been a solid survival drama, a horror film, an action flick for the brainless, but it's everything and nothing at the same time. It’s not bad, but not great either. There are few dinosaurs and the aliens sometimes behave like very stupid earthlings. Driver is good, but what’s the point when he doesn’t have much to work with. Beck and Woods wasted an opportunity and we won't see something like this in the cinema for a long time.

I'm a big fan of sci-fi, so this film didn't bother me at all. Sure, it's a B-movie through and through and feels like it should premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel or a VOD service rather than in theaters. Still, it will satisfy genre enthusiasts. And if nothing else, Adam Driver's unique approach to acting is sure to keep you entertained.

From the first trailer, I was looking forward to a grittier dinosaur affair, but unfortunately the film disappoints on multiple levels. It's a huge mistake that only Adam Driver is stuck on the planet, if there was at least a 15 man crew stuck there we could have got a proper R-rated dinosaur survival, where they wouldn't have skimped on the gore or darker atmosphere, and I would currently be drooling with bliss and screaming with excitement to the heavens, and wouldn't mind at all that it's silly and story-wise flat, but too bad. The dinosaurs looked cool though, and when they are on set they are something to watch. I liked the high tech weapons and the pretty decent scares. But everything in between was pretty mind-numbing and uninteresting, with no pace, no tension and no atmosphere, which is a mystery they couldn't use. 5/10.
