WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Terryfan Raptor Island is another attempt at the Sci/Fi channel trying to bring their own movies to the small screen.And here is a very very very poor excuse for a motion picture that is so bad that it is not even worth the film it was recorded with as I say with a lot of bad films.While it might look like a interesting film it is not even close to the level of a B movie it's not even a E level movie.The plot of the film is nothing new it just like someone was trying to make a quick buck oh I forgot it's a direct to TV movie so it is not going to make anything.The film lighting is that which should be expected in a low budget film it is not even bright enough to watch it.The acting in film is beyond awful the characters are just the same ones we have seen many times before. C.G.I. effects for the Dinosaurs I mean don't get me started they are so bad, they are not even believable. I have seen video games that have more believable effect than this film has to offer. Perhaps the best thing about the film is that missing it at all will not your enjoyment of watching films.I got nothing against TV movies I do enjoy them but this one is not one of them.I give Raptor Island an 2 out of 10

ethandirector-1 Raptor Island is a Sci-Fi Channel movie. It's very funny because it has a dumb story,bad acting,bad visual effects,bad direction,and enough plot holes to make a small cemetery.It starts out with a fake looking Chinese Aircraft getting struck by lightning. THE FILM IS ABOUT A GROUP OF Navy Seals that are on a mission to rescue an agent from terrorists led by Steven Bauer who was in Scarface with PACINO. They follow the terrorists to an island with Raptors. That's where the bad visual effects come in.This movie is hilarious in its awfulness. Oh and the Plot Holes "I don"t think he'll make it through the night. In the next scene that man is up running around. Why was a Chinese Aircraft holding American chemicals

MartianOctocretr5 Some of the cheapest looking CGI creatures you'll ever see attack some of the most poorly trained mercenary troops to ever brandish fake looking weapons on a bogus "South Sea island" set (in Canada). The goofs are endless, the script resembles mangled Swiss cheese, and the story is pretty much a chaotic maze of nothingness.The Raptor attacks are priceless. Usually they stand around, hanging out in groups doing nothing, as nitwit Green Beret wanna-be's pepper them with hundreds of rounds, and they just kind of stare in stupefied apathy as the useless bullets shower them. One of two things always happens: Either they get sick of being shot at, and they gang tackle the victim and then some animated blood spurts around; or a poorly done CGI red blotch appears on the poor confused Raptor and it drops over in a heap, never losing that silly grin they always seem to have. The chronological order for the victims-to-be is so obvious, they might as well have had numbers painted on their faces.Viewers definitely need to "turn off the brain" for this material. The writer, director, and cast certainly did.

julian kennedy Raptor Island: 1 out of 10: The Sci-fi channel has produced some stinkers (Boa vs. Python, Boa vs. Cobra, and Feather Boa vs. Mink) but Raptor Island easily eclipses all of them. There simply are not movies this bad outside of a Lions Gate home movie film festival.Where can one begin? The special effects have to be seen to be believed. The entire film is in CGI (except for Lorenzo Lamas who is decidedly not animated) and it couldn't be more poorly done. Remember those old prehistoric planet movies from the sixties where they would superimpose some iguana stock footage attacking some middle aged vaudeville guys dressed as caveman? Raptor Island lowers that bar considerably.The raptors seem to have been ported from an old Saturn CD-Rom game. They have five distinct frames of animation each and blink in and out of the picture. Gunshots are represented by graphics that would make House of the Dead weep and the raptors when shot ignore the bullets then fall down.The raptors are perhaps the stupidest creatures ever shown on film ignoring actors and each other as they gaze off into the distance with bloody mouths that look like a five year old got into mommy's make-up box.Add other equally bad CGI rendered sand, ships and planes and one really wishes the MST3000 crew would come back for an encore anniversary show.With very badly rendered monsters and a throwaway script one could at least hope for something gratuitous to liven things up. (You know a decapitation scene or skinny dipping scene or a combination of the two.) Raptor Island provides nothing of the sort. This is family friendly entertainment. But only if you really really hate your family.
