Summary: This is crap!
Review: This is a lame movie. It is bad. It needs the MST3K treatment. Due to an engine malfunction, the crew of a spaceship are forced to eject over a strange prehistoric planet. There they are locked in a life-and-death struggle with enormous dinosaurs. They spend about 75 minutes of walking and it seems to be in circles. It's like they found a small piece of land and it looks like they are always in the same place. Things don't add up, things don't make sense. What's even funnier is the fact the people change sizes compared to the dinos. At one point one of the guys is up to the T-Rex's knee, but when he is eaten, he's like as big as the dinos head. There are several inconsistencies in the movie. This is worse than the infamous "Sidehackers" and that's saying alot. This is a piece of garbage, and it's a pain to sit through. It's like a severe flauging. Actually getting beat with a cat of nine tails is the closet I can describe the experience of watching this movie. I could tell it was going to be a real stinker, but it outstripped my expectations. First off, it's from the late seventies, and you can tell by the costumes, which it appears to be men in rejected star trek suits, wet suits, and one girl who is a hippy, sonny and cher, and well anyway, completed by track shoes. It looks like it was shot on tail ends of every grade of film stock there is, the acting wasn't even community-theater level, and to be honest a third grade play has better acting than this film. The script needed a gazillion more drafts, and the music... oh, the music... that cheap seventies electronic score...it's terrible. It sounds like they took someone else's score and played it backwards. Special effects? Laughable even for that day and age! The "spaceship" looks like a bunch of septic pipes, and the "escape craft's" amazing crash scene uses footage from Planet of the Apes, and when it is sinking it looks like a huge cardboard cut out. There are alot of things wrong with this, and it so qualifies as one of the worse movies ever made!!! Oddly enough, the stop-motion dinosaurs were okay sub Harryhausen, but definitely would have been respectable in the fifties. The worst part is, I can see what the filmmakers were trying to accomplish. They wanted to do a variation of a cliche premise of putting several strong-willed characters into a difficult situation and watch the fireworks fly. Unfortunately, the lame script was so repetitive that every argument sounded like deja vu. I mean they repeat each conversation over and over and over and over. Goodness. As you can see, my reivew is all mismatched, but that's because I'm so confused and can't really find any redeeming qualities. It sux!!!

Summary: Ya gotta love it!
Review: This is a pretty corny movie from the late 70's. A space ship crash lands on a planet that ends up having dinasaurs on it! Of course the plot is pretty dumb, and the special effects are stop motion (clay-mation), plus the acting is typical of low budget sci-fi of the era, and the diolouge and is cheesy. Pretty muc hthe whole movie is cheesy. And that's what makes it enjoyable. By all accounts the special effects actually aren't all that bad. Little kids will probably like this movie and if you liked the older godzillas, Gorgo, 20 Million Miles to Earth, Them, or any of the other nostalgic sci-fi adventures, then you wqill probably like this. If you're looking for a movie you can take 100% seriously in the year 2003, then forget it. It's worth noting that the DVD is only MONO, but with a movie like this you aren't going to get a "remastered" version. The sound shows it's age, and more so the picture quality on the DVD version shows specks here and there. This is disapointing, but atleast it's full screen so we don't have to stare at black bars. I only wish they had cleaned up the sound and picture a bit. But hell, for less than 5 buck what do you expect!

Summary: Dinosaurs (...)
Review: This movie is all about dinosaurs and some story thrown in for good means!
A spaceship crashes on a desert planet inhabited by dinosaurs.The crew tries to survive and some get eaten by carnivores in bad mood.Thats about it!
There is plenty of well executed stop motion and funny dialogues from an innocent age of b-movies.It's not Gone with the Wind but it sure has entertainment values.
The DVD quality could have been better in dark scenes (...)

Summary: Nauseatingly Brilliant Dinosaur/Sci-fi Flick
Review: This movie is perfect. The actors all seem to be ex-porn stars from the 70s trying to break into legitimate acting careers, executing their lines in their tight space clothes with the grace of a peg-legged pirate falling down a narrow flight of stairs. There's even a Ron Jeremy look-alike! The special effects are dated, but enjoyable. And the soundtrack epitomizes 70s science fiction--it's like Tangerine Dream on acid. The movie is perfect. If you never see another film like this for the rest of your life, you have to see "Planet of Dinosaurs".
