Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

screenersamb not, not, not recommended due for multiple raisons. first is the gore; what happens to human beings in this flick is not pretty. then the general stupid tone, such as commandos and terrorists standing straight up and firing automatic weapons at each other from about 20 yards (some of them do fall, eventually). the dialog is clichemeful and the plot is identical to a hundred others of the genre. as for the cast, the brightest non-star is one Mircea Monroe, a quite beautiful young thing what looks strikingly like Natalie 'Dixie Chick' Maines.the main reason for watching such as this is the monster, and the sfx in this are much lower than Jurassic Park level.try catching the original Gojira, or, if you like monsters aloft, Rodan. do yourself a favor and skip Pterodactyl.

xredgarnetx My God, how much worse can it get? The Sci-Fi Channel is cranking these crapola flicks out at the rate of one a week, and it shows. This one features cartoon-ish pterosaurs coming back to life after a volcano in Turkey and attacking everything that moves, including a group of scientists and various army types. The sets consist of an open field and a wooded thicket, plus the prehistoric birds' mountain aerie. The field and forest sets are used over and over and over again. Virtually everyone is picked off by film's end, and we don't care about any of them. And I didn't think it could get any worse than that SS DEATHTROOPER abortion. I was wrong.

ilovemygoats Let's start with the one good thing about this movie, the premise. This could have been a great Dino flick, right up there with "Q the Winged Serpent" or even the "Jurassic Park" films. However, the producer chose to go the cheap ass, very cheap ass, route and make a great premise into one of the worse horror, adventure, action films ever made. I think Jason Vorheese would have killed himself over this one. Anyway, i am getting off target. The Pteradactyls looked REALLY fake, which detracted from what little enjoyment there was from the film. The acting was simply beyond description. You know the acting is bad when Coolio is the high spot for acting. Had this film been in the hands of a skilled director and producer and effects house, it would have benefited greatly. The blood and guts, oddly enough, were quite well done, but that was about all.I should mention that the best moment in the film is when the whinny spoiled brat of a blond bimbo gets offed. Why do films like this always have to put a character in that needs to get offed? Do movie makers really think that the movie going audience is that stupid.My advice is to avoid this film at all costs. However, if you want some good laughs and groans, pop it into the DVD player and wonder "what the hell were these people thinking?"

danthewrestlingmanorigin I've seen almost all of dtv creature features, so prevalent over the last seven years or so, and I can say honestly that this is one of the more enjoyable titles. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect, but if you dig these kinds of movies, it delivers the fun. First off I loved the action sequences of the military guys fighting against the Pteros' and getting picked off one by one from the sky. As cheesy as a lot of it is, I've never really been as riveted to be watching some of the chase scenes in a film like this, and the effects though maybe not realistic, were not annoying and not as fake looking as for example in Sabretooth. Heck even Coolio, was enjoyable in this. In closing it's not the terror masterpiece that Jaws is, but hey you probably weren't expecting it to be, so just get your popcorn ready, kick back, and enjoy the cheese.
