if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

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

What do we have here? The title is pretty attractive… but only if you are dumb, or just eccentric, movie fan… the incredibly bad movie that makes your head hurt like hell.Now, a group of navy seals are following a dangerous terrorist named Azir and the hostage girl that needs rescue. But… this would be just another shallow action/rescue film without dinosaurs… Did I say dinosaurs? Yep, I did. The island, somewhere, somewhere… in the south China Sea… we don't know is it unknown, uncharted, or whatever… a perfect place for action… oh let's add some dinosaur, wait wait… with the bad CGI… and there you have it, a shallow, dumb film with dumb story, bad characters, lousy camera… so, the dinosaurs came out from underground, mating and hatching… and nobody, I mean nobody checked it out… and all other things as well… Lorenzo Lamas is Hacket, a leader of navy seal team. I expected from him a good old martial arts scenes, but no, he did the role because he can act? Well, he is not a very good actor, but if you are taking a low budget martial arts star, better put in some fights in the film, because with this performance, we got just a dumb soldier who commands other soldiers. Steven Bauer? Well, no surprises here, this guy's career has been washed up since 80s, he appeared in too much low budget films, or in too many tiny roles in some better known films… nah… he is washed up… other actors did a silly performances, especially Hristo Shopov (Quinn) . What the hell is wrong with this guy? That was one of the worst performances I have ever seen. He talks in these husky, badass tones that makes you want to laugh until you s**t yourself… We also have Peter Jason here… well, no worries there, he already also did a bunch of low budget films, and he is a good actor, but, this film is one of the lowest in his career.Skip this film, and get yourself some other abomination. Not to mention a sequel called Planet Raptor (2007), which is even worse… hell even Carnosaur trilogy is better than this… Don't waste your time with this.

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.

In the words of Billy Bob Thornton this movie is funny, but I don't know if it's funny ha-ha! Or funny Queer. Lorenzo Lamas is queer to begin with, then you add sorry effects and a lame story line and you have for a cocktail of queerness all around. If your a Sci-Fi fan you can watch this movie because is Sci-Fi but I warn you, you could develop some funny feelings (I don't know if funny ha-ha or funny queer) in the pit of your stomach. Over all this movie sucked like all of Lorenzo Lamas movies. What was that show he was on anyways, oh well I don't care I am just trying to fill the 10 lines so I can post this comment on a all around queer movie.
