Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
dukeakasmudge I was pretty excited when I found Carnosaur on VHS at the local outlet.I don't know what I was expecting.I don't think I was expecting anything GREAT but I wasn't expecting anything bad either.It was more bad than anything.I read on IMDb that there's a part 2 & 3.After watching this movie I can't believe they made a sequel & even more amazing, a third.I LOVE bad movies so if I had a chance I'd watch them though.If I didn't, I know I wouldn't watch them at all.I read a few reviews saying Carnosaur is just a Jurassic Park rip off since they both came out at the same time but I say who knows? who cares? I HATED Jurassic Park & Carnosaur wasn't all that great either but if I had to choose between the 2, I'd have to go with Carnosaur.At least Carnosaur was entertaining enough to keep me awake.When Jurassic Park 1st came out, I fell asleep in the theater.The thing that surprised me the most was the ending.It was pretty shocking & came out of nowhere.Maybe I have to give Carnosaur another shot 1 of these days to appreciate it but it won't be anytime soon
jessegehrig Not fun to watch. Everything seems to take place on a poorly lit stage. People die horrible deaths- not because the gore and make-up effects are done well but because the make-up and effects are done poorly, people get sort of smeared to death, its like the dinosaurs despite have claws and teeth, for some reason instead secrete a powerful enzyme to break down the meat. Also the acting sucks. Probably should have lead with that, but yeah, the humans paid to live out on stage did a crappy job. The story, considering that its a half-assed ripoff of Jurassic Park, is absent, like the story called in sick and somebody else has gotta try to cover two departments, better get H.R. in on this. This movie has a real purpose but I don't know what it is.
DirectionWritten Beware of Carnosaur! The puppet dinosaur that is obviously and painfully fake! This is easily one of the worst movies ever made. The special effects are horrible, the story is beyond dumb, and it is breathlessly boring. Note that this movie was released to theaters a few weeks before Jurassic Park was. But what really makes me mad about that is because this movie is just a pathetic and terrible rip-off of Jurassic Park that completely fails to offer anything exciting or original, since it basically just steals Jurassic Parks idea but changes it up a little bit. Stay away from this movie. If you watch it, it will ruin your whole day.
gavin6942 A genetically manipulated and very hungry dinosaur escapes from a bioengineering company and reeks havoc on the local desert town.I have memories of seeing this in the video store in the 1990s and considering renting it, but never did. And then I saw boxes for the sequel, and another sequel, and I felt like it was something as a horror fan I needed to see... but again, never did. Until now (2013). I was not missing much.I was hoping to get some classic Clint Howard moments, but he really is not the highlight of the film at all. I have to say that the puppet is amazing! The way this film tries to pass things off as a dinosaur is incredible, and would be laughed at today... but comes across as great entertainment for the time it came out.
