Very disappointed :(

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I think my main problem is that the Velociraptors depicted are inaccurate and more closely resemble Deinonychus without feathers.

If you go into 'Planet Raptor' expecting nothing more than 'Carnosaur' in space, I can't see how you'll be disappointed. The plot if awful and confusing, and for a movie that shows off it's titular monster in the first 3 minutes of screen time, it moves painfully slow.The effects in the film are a highlight, for two very different reasons: 1. The CGI is offensivley bad. I'm talking 'Incredible Bulk' levels of lame. So bad, it's funny.2. The practical puppets used, much like in the 'Carnosaur' flicks, are kinda fun and give off that 90's direct-to-video vibe. Don't know if that was done intentionally (I doubt it), but I enjoyed them.Overall, the film is goofy, cheesy fun. Not a b-movie classic, but watchable.

I know it seems like it's a hobby that I rag on the SyFy movies. Trust me it isn't. I do keep watching them to see if they get any better, I do like to be entertained and I have once before if only to revel in their awfulness. But I couldn't do that with Planet Raptor. I disliked Raptor Island also, but compared to this (sort of) sequel it looks like an award winner. Planet Raptor suffers first and foremost from being cheaply made, the photography and editing are among the most choppy of any of SyFy's movies, and the special effects are abysmal, not only out-of scale and phony-looking but some like the dino munching on Steven Bauer actually look as though they were recycled from Raptor Island. The acting is just as bad, showing no kind of personality(apart from perhaps the end credits) or wanting to be there. In all honesty though, they don't have much to work with. The script is in extreme volumes of cheesiness and aimlessness, the story and action sequences are predictable and never exciting or suspenseful, the pacing is dull, the characters are clichéd and not likable at all and the direction is of lazy incompetence. Overall, a truly awful waste of time, one of about twenty plus times I have been infuriated rather than mildly entertained by a SyFy movie. And if I hear or see one more person trying to justify their movies' badness one more time, saying that it's meant to be bad(a typical cop-out of anybody trying to defend a disliked movie/show), I am going to scream, to me there is nothing fun about terrible visuals, flat directing, pacing and acting and completely uninteresting script and story, and while there is once in a while when these components are actually tolerable for SyFy Planet Raptor is not one of them. 1/10 Bethany Cox

The fact that the movie is named "Planet Raptor" really ought to tell you everything you need to know. Even before you start watching, you pretty much know in advance that it will involve some kind of dinosaur-like creatures that will kill people in amusingly graphic ways. The main questions answered by the movie will not be grand existential questions such as the meaning of life, or what is love, no, the questions answered by the movie will be:1. How long will it take before the raptors start killing the people? 2. Will the people get off any good lines before they die and/or as they are dying? 3. Once the killing starts, will the more attractive cast members manage to escape (the unattractive ones are pretty much going to be raptor-fodder)?A side issue will be determining just how bad the special-effects will be.Anyway, having sort of watched Planet Raptor, I am pleased to report that as far as cheesy- bad Sci-Fi Channel made-for-TV movies go, this one is actually pretty watcheable. I don't want to bang my head against the wall, or jab a pencil through my eyeballs. I consider this to be a victory for this sort of movie. Sure, it's not what you could consider "good", but what did you expect? The friggin' movie is titled "Planet Raptor"!*Very Mild Spoiler Alert* The answers to the questions posed above are: 1. Too Long 2. Kinda 3. Yes a. the special effects were very, very, not-good
