Steineded How sad is this?

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

smittie-1 SPOILER - like you care - It takes place on another planet. The various monster creatures are therefore aliens, not dinosaurs ( and they're never actually called dinosaurs in the movie, ignoring the silly/stupid prologue tacked on by Troma). The human characters are the pitiful descendants of colonists from Earth, as revealed in the scene with the scarred guy showing Linda Corwin around the TERRA-1 compound. I know, like any of this makes it a better movie.Well for me it did. Considering this was shot on a Bolex, in New Hampshire, with no sync sound, the bits and pieces of back story certainly serve to make it a more interesting movie given its technical limitations. It sort of plays out like a short story from the 70s era of science fiction. And it was fun listening to Brett Piper on the director's commentary describe the old-school FX tricks he used, such as matte paintings and double exposures. It's also heartening to see someone still using stop-motion puppets in a movie. So consider me a fan of this weird little film.

quetzelchatl A great little pointless flick with no effectively discernible dialog. At least not any recognized or recognizable language. Linda Corwin is a real cuty pie and basically turns the film into a Corwin-fest, emoting constantly. Is it great film? Ha ha ha ha ha. But great film requires a lot more energy to watch than this. This is just fun. I doubt that you will be disappointed and cannot understand why the Tromas didn't use this gal again as she brightens up the set, wherever the set happens to be. This is typical of Troma films which seem to just unfold in an otherwise pointless manner. The reason for the film is the film itself. There are what passes for special effects and lots of s-c-a-r-y makeup which has the added benefit of not looking very real; clearly poor stop action and masks, all of which just adds to the cache of this low budget charmer. I heartily recommend this to any one who has nothing better to do than watch TV for an hour or two. You really barely have to pay attention. A DVD would be the perfect way to watch it. I taped it seven years ago off a TV channel (USA Up All Night) and am strongly considering the purchase of a DVD.

radiohewad Everyone seems to be missing the point of the movie. It is a work of comic genius BECAUSE it is terrible. On the DVD the opening trailer is hilarious. Admittedly it doesn't reflect the movie, but I don't care, because I still love this movie, no matter what anyone says. I bought it for a £1. It was on a double disc with "Graduation Day", another film I actually quite like. They both have interesting story lines, shockingly poor production values, terrible acting, cheesy lines, but are still enjoyable movies.She is not a nympho, there are more mutants than dinosaurs, and the man has a mullet, but what can you do? That was the way that movies were made back then. I don't know much about Troma Team movies, but I know I love them.

Craig McPherson A cable channel that specializes in grade-B drive-in fare aired this crapfest recently. Uber cheese is the only way to describe it. It didn't even have a camp factor. I suppose you could have fun with this flick watching it drunk with friends, but you'd have to be almost blind with booze to attain even that level of satisfaction. It's no surprise that absolutely nobody in this film has done anything else. Not even porn! Now that's a true mark of junk. Then again, I guess when three quarters of the film's characters are named "Goon" there's not much to stand out on a resume. Give this one a pass.
