Pros:
- The VFX work is great, especially the dinosaurs
Cons:
- No world building
- No exposition
- No explanations
- Nothing happens
- All of the potentially suspenseful moments were shown in the trailer
I love slow movies; Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorites. But this film is surprisingly boring, and it makes an hour and a half feel like it's dragging on. There's no meaningful dialogue because the only two characters in the film don't speak the same language. It's a dinosaur movie where nobody gets eaten, and the dinosaurs are barely even an issue until the very end.
What a waste of time, a movie just to make some money, a poor script. Not recommend it.
Jurassic Park ran so this Land of the Lost rip-off could walk to Netflix on Saturday morning.
Not sure what to say about this. Just finished it and I already forgot what it was about. Maybe the effects were nice?
Don't know what everyone is complaining about,I enjoyed every minute of this film.It is what it is.7 out of 10.
I’ll be one of the few voices in comments that will say this was a decent movie. It’s not perfect, by any means, but it is actually decent.
Adam Driver, whom I’m not a huge fan of, did a pretty good job in this movie. Why am I not a fan of his? Well, he’s not the greatest actor but, and this is more important, he killed Han Solo. That wrong can never be righted like an upside down escape pod.
I think the premise of this movie is fascinating to watch and ponder. It does leave a few holes to be filled, but you can use your imagination for this.
In all, this is actually good Science Fiction because while his presence is all fiction (or is it, could this have really happened?), some of the rest of the presence is fact and all good science fiction has some basis in science fact.
The idea that humans were on the earth 65 million years ago is an interesting one. One hole that’s left to the imagination is, “ok, then, was it the DNA brought by these people that seeded and then allowed evolution to eventually created earths human population?” It’s interesting to think about. It’s pretty far out there, but interesting anyway. In no way would I believe that Earth would have spawned human civilization identical in nearly every way as it’s other worldly travelers, so DNA contamination is the only logical conclusion.
I like the fact that there was a language barrier and I think they overcame it well. Greenblatt did a good enough job as the girl, no complaints there really.
The only part I find convenient, really, is that the upside down life pod was righted by the very Dino that he fought with earlier in the movie. A bit too convenient really. Let’s face it, once the pod got torn off the main ship, if the damage didn’t prevent it from ever running again I would be surprised - let alone magically getting righted just perfectly by Mr. Dino.
If I’m picking nits, then I’ll pick one with the fact that he was brought down to earth by the very asteroid that would soon - VERY soon - change it forever. A bit trite, but I get why it is an important part of the story.
The Dino’s were well done, in fact all the special effects, particularly the opening credits where they show this mind blowing view of the cosmos is breathtakingly stunning.
If you are a fan of science fiction I think this is worth the pretty light 90 minute run time (compared to many 2 or 3 hour movies that are far worse). I still find myself pondering some of the aspects of the movie and “what-if” scenarios and I’m still thinking about the movie, it made a mark and that’s enough for me to say it’s worth the watch.
If science fiction isn’t your thing, this may not be either.
65 has a good premise but a terrible plot. From beginning to end, the string of conflicts are unoriginal, predictable, and resolve in the nick of time. Remind me, why do we love Adam Driver again?
I enjoyed this movie. Not too long, good effects and good pace all the way. :thumbsup_tone1: Well worth a watch :thumbsup_tone1:
Way better than Jurassic World Dominion for sure. 65 doesn't reinvent anything in the dinosaur blockbuster genre but it was fun and entertaining nonetheless. Some parts drag a lot, the story is extremely simple and it leaves a lot of questions unanswered (ex: Why were they on this mission? Why was a little girl on the mission? Why would they put people who don't even talk the same language together? Who are they, an advanced species or time-travelers? among other things...) and because they don't address these questions it creates plot holes and makes for lazy writing. It's by no means a cerebral journey but the action is thrilling, the special effects look great, I like the sci-fi technology and so many cool-looking dinosaurs. My favorite part was the cave in complete darkness.
Adam Driver isn't given a lot to work with but he was good as the stereotypical action hero. The backstory with his daughter was heartwarming even though some of the flashbacks were strangely placed. I have to say I was incredibly annoyed with Koa for the first half she was slowing the story and the humor parts with Mills ruined the mood a few times. But then they redeemed her around halfway through, making her usefull and less comedic. I was ok with her then and the relationship between the two is perhaps what gives 65 it's charm.
Good concept, bad story , they could have done much better with it.
Nice vfx and landscapes, but the plot is pointless. Nothing important happens, and no reasons or explanations are given afterwards. Events occur just because they do, not because they matter.
I recently saw the movie "65" and overall, I found it to be a pretty solid film. One of the highlights for me was the incredible dinosaur effects, which really brought the prehistoric world to life on the big screen. I also have to mention the excellent performance by Adam Driver, who has certainly made a name for himself in Star Wars and brought high expectations to this film. The portrayals of the prehistoric world were also really well done.
However, there were a few negatives as well. One thing that stood out was the lack of background information on the characters. I felt that more could have been done to explain their motivations and histories. Additionally, the movie was fairly predictable and didn't offer many surprises. Given the dangerous world these characters were living in, I expected more tension and unpredictability. Finally, while the relationship between the main character and the girls was intriguing, I didn't feel like it fully developed and lacked emotional depth.
All in all, "65" was a decent movie that was definitely worth seeing on the big screen. The dinosaur effects and Adam Driver's performance were standout elements, but the predictable plot and lack of character development held it back from being a truly great film.
it really sucked don't watch
Thankfully, I doubt I’ll see a more boring movie for the rest of the year!
Don’t know what all the critic fuss is about, cuz this was a decent sci-flick imho!
If we exclude the monsters becoming bigger proportionally to the film length, and several scientific mishaps, the movie was not too trashy. But it was really empty: too little action, too little sci-fi, usual plot based on chained coincidences and misfortunes.
Some movies require seatbelts when watching in 4DX and this is one of them. I left the movie with pretty much nothing on my mind. A pretty meh movie; nothing terrible, nothing spectacular. I don't think expectations were high, for me atleast, so I didn't find it disappointing. It didn't feel unique, like it was pieced together from other sci-fi shows and films. It's very minimalist, a smaller budget indie sci-fi, if you enjoyed Pedro pascal's 'Prospect' or a more recent film 'Vesper', not as good as either but it's in the same ball park. You're just following the lead characters in a dystopian future, albeit this was 65 million years in the past. Reminded me of the series 'Terra Nova' in that regard. Sci-fi part isn't explored deeply but it was a pretty cool concept, it left a little room for interpretation so I thought of Mills and Koa being the first humans who landed on earth and dna somehow survived; it's a flawed idea but helped me enjoy it more. Hence my biggest criticism would be so much more could've been done with the movies premise. If you don't enjoy movies with only one or two characters conversing then don't bother watching this; even though Adam Driver and Ariana Greenblatt did a great job carrying the movie. There was only so much they could do. I still enjoyed watching it, just nothing memorable.
Don't waste your time, just the equivalent of a big pile of dinosaur dung.
The season finale of "The Last of Us" left me utterly confused. Why were the roles of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey suddenly recast with Adam Driver and Ariana Greenblatt? Why does Ellie suddenly not speak English anymore? And why is Joel's daughter suddenly named Nevine and not Sarah? I didn't see the time travel plot to the age of the dinosaurs coming either.
Getting back to seriousness, "65" is a pretty boring movie that would have been a perfect fit for Netflix. Nothing is really all that bad, nothing is particularly good. Everything is extremely mediocre. You've probably forgotten most of the plot by the time the credits roll. Adam Driver is a fantastic actor and Ariana Greenblatt has been good elsewhere (for example in "Love and Monsters"), but neither get any material to work with here. From a technical standpoint, there's not much to complain about with "65." The special effects are solid, and the film is competently shot. However, the plot is very repetitive, so despite a runtime of only 90 minutes, I kept looking at my watch. If you are eager to see the film, you should wait until it is available on a streaming service.
It was a decent sci-fi action flick. I think it could have used some additional story like why he's going on that mission, etc. It's not changing the genre but was at least enjoyable.
Cool concept not executed greatly. I loved the sci-fi tech, especially the guns. The performance from Adam Driver was all right. The girl was so so. The CGI was kind of shit. Felt like a it dragged a little bit, especially the rock cave scene. The dinosaurs boss battles were fun though. Worth watching at least once even though a lil dumb.
Normally when a movie is this bad it has no budget and you want to cut it some slack but this film clearly had a higher budget than most films of this level of disappointment.
Presumably the script was filled with pictures of dinosaurs and Adam Driver just trusted the director to fill in the time with thrilling action sequences. I wonder how far into the production he got before he realised it was a turd.
What little story there is, is completely contrived, cliched, nonsensical and pointless. The emotional exchanges between the leads are futile because as a viewer you don't know if they even understand each other or maybe if the lazy writer is just going to decide that they magically understand each other in that moment. Driver’s character starts out being a sensitive dad who seems to communicate well enough with his daughter and yet he spends most of the film speaking in full sentences to someone who he knows can't understand.
The actions sequences are so inconsequential that I found myself fading out a couple of times then wondering how they got to where they are but not caring enough to go back.
It's mercifully short but unless you just love looking at Driver no matter what he's doing, you will be waiting for it to end before you get half way through (unfortunately I’m one of these film completionist types).
Adam Driver and dinosaurs? How could you mess that up? Pretty easily, it seems. For the budget they had, there was relatively little compelling action, a dead simple plot (get from point A to point B...that's it), and hardly any tension. They somehow made dinosaurs, lasers, spaceships, and Adam friggin' Driver boring. This is basically a big budget Saturday afternoon SyFy flick, but not bad enough to laugh at.
Shockingly dull for a movie produced by Sam Raimi starring dinosaurs and Adam Driver
That ship had crap radar and autopilot. One would think a meteor swarm (even if unrealistically portrayed) could be detected in time to adjust course.
I wonder how much Mills has been around to raise his daughter. He really doesn't seem to know how to connect with a tween girl. He does try a little, but it doesn't seem like it comes as natural as it should. And why doesn't he try to learn any of her language? Seems like meeting in the middle might be more expeditious and effective.
This is almost a comedy. If it could go wrong for Mills, it does. In a way it is almost slapstick.
I honestly didn't mind the lack of exposition. It worked for two people separated by a language barrier. It wasn't like it wasn't obvious what was going on. Sometimes minimalistic works better. In this case, I think it was the right choice.
Definitely a B movie, but I actually really enjoyed it.
Sort of like After Earth with Will Smith but slightly better and set in the past with dinosaurs. Though it would have made a better video game, than a movie.
It won’t blow you away with originality but it’s an entertaining sci-fi thriller. That doesn’t put enough thought into why it exists.
The concept, the visuals and the effects were great and I have no complaints as far as acting. This movie doesn't waste time on pointless backstories and boring dialogue so I have to commend it for that. The movie is relatively short and straight to the point. Story-wise it's pretty shallow and it definitely could have been better. I'm a fan of Adam Driver after his role in Star Wars and as a sci-fi enjoyer I thought 65 was a fun watch overall.
I mean who doesn't love Dinosaurs... this was so close to being great and much better than I expected
Sounded interesting, too bad that wasn’t the reality. It was rather dull with a plot that felt pointless by the end.
"65" is a movie that promises a lot with its plot of dinosaur chase in a prehistoric setting, but ends up delivering little in terms of impact. Although the action is constant, the lack of originality in the script and the shallowness of the characters leave much to be desired. In addition, the special effects, while competent, are not enough to sustain the film on their own. Overall, "65" is a mediocre film that may appeal to fans of the genre, but doesn't have much else to offer.
Surprisingly very good. Plenty of action and cool special effects. Story is good too.
9/10
Pretty much sucks big sweaty balls
Went in with low expectations, not a fan of Driver, yet the ride wasn't unpleasant. And a ride it is—the lack of background is necessary to suspend disbelief and any attempt at more would be embarrassing. I mean do we really want to know how come there are interstellar traveling humans at a time before life on Earth branched out into primates? Given as ridiculous a premise, the movie is pretty close to the best it could have been. The critters serve up a good thrill and while the writing isn't stellar, it does manage to conjure a sense of chemistry between the pair.
That was a very boring movie.
Simple story. Slow development. Good CGI. Predictable ending.
Boring! Don’t waste your time
If it was renamed "Dinos & Guns" it'd have done and would do a lot better at the box office. A minimalist mostly two character SciFi thriller. It was decent. Nothing groundbreaking but worthy of a rainy Sunday afternoon at the movie theater. 6.3 for me.
Well this was a boring movie. This is basically Jurrasic Park meets Lost in Space with a pinch of the Last of Us. Almost nothing happens after the start and dialogue isn't happening because they speak different languages. Instead of putting a hint in the title or opening with it, they should have made the fact that this is earth a reveal like in After Earth (2013). In short a quality production with a quality actor with a snooze fest of a story. If you like the concept and want to see it better, at 10% of the budget, go look up the flick Prospect (2018) with Pedro Pascal.
Alright but story definitely could have been fleshed out further
Boring as hell, pretty much nothing happens, I made it to the halfway point and I shit you not, nothing happened and then I fell asleep, I'm not gonna finish this one.
I was interested in the story because of it deals with the subject from a different angle. I didn't expect much from the movie but it's not bad. I don't regret watching it.
It is an incredibly nothing movie.
The entire set-up was so pointless I thought I missed something.
So they're on Earth, 65 million years ago. Adam Driver is a space man. There are no humans on Earth.
So you just KNOW that this movie is going to be some silly "first man" story and will lead to the advent of human life on Earth.
NOPE. It doesn't matter. At all. They escape Earth, The End. I guess we just evolved independently, even though there are other humans already out in space?
This aspect just kind of blew my mind. Just... why?
There is basically no story, there's no character, there isn't really much anything. I'd love to see a real copy of the script because I imagine it's like 5 pages.
It feels like a weirdly big budget adaptation of a forgotten mid-budget video game from like 2005.
I don't know how they talked Driver into this. I'm guessing they managed some trickery by only having to pay basically one real actor in the whole movie and everything else be CG, letting them spend a relatively large percentage of their budget on him.
I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, obviously, but it was just such a waste of time.
Come on it’s not THAT bad..
Was an entertaining evening event on Netflix. And the FX are very good.
If you want some sci-fi and like well made dinosaurs, it’s for you.
Still a better (love)story than Jurassic Park.
It's entertaining, I didn't ask for more, but it's not great either.
A morning poop my cat took- is what looked better and smelled better than 65.
This movie should go straight to movie hell and never be mentioned again.
This movie was surprisingly good. I did not expect that considering the bad reviews. It was short, with an interesting story, a lot of action, the actors did a nice job and the CGI was great for the most part. I definitely enjoyed it.
Don't know what people are talking about. The movie was pretty great with some humorous moments strewn around.
The effects where good, the movie itself not so much. Not much story or originality. The chase never stops, makes you tired watching it.
The trailer really had me hyped for this movie. So did Adam driver, but both ended up being underwhelming. Some scenes were just stupidly good (as in it was good but stupid), although the visuals in this are beautiful.
Don't be goofy. Don't be funny. Don't crack jokes. Don't place comedic music in.
If you wanna watch a man and non-fluent-English-speaking child team effort in a dangerous world, watch Logan.
I appreciate the bonding between Mills and Koa. And how he lies to her about her parents living, which creates conflict. But the comedic devices in 65 were unnecessary. It felt odd for the genre and high stake stuff.
I wasn't moved at all by any of the characters or relationships.
Trailers were a little deceiving as to what this movie was actually about. This movie was fine, nothing too good though.
You have to act Luke you don't see significant scientific and plot inaccuracies and you can watch it.
Poor script, to close to “after earth”. Constant panting of actors was irritating and boring.
Last asteroid scene could have been longer , I’d have loved to see dinosaurs killer scene a bit longer.
not sure why this one got so panned on relief. it was pretty much what you'd expect from the premise. not fantastic, but enjoyable enough tosh
I knew very little about the movie going into it except that it was set in pre-historic earth, and Ariana Greenblatt was in it. The first time I saw Ariana Greenblatt, in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, I made a mental note, “watch for this girl, she is going to be a rising star”. I humbly confess, I was right. This role had its own particular challenge, which I won’t spoil except to say that she adeptly conquered it. Adam Driver and she owned the screen as they battled the threats around every turn. I give this film a 7 (adventure with heart) out of 10. [SciFi Action Adventure]
7/10
Good
OutLander meets
Jurassic Park
Though OutLander is
definitely the more awesome
Stronger kick ass movie
that will be remembered and talked about for decades to come.....,oh....
That being said I actually really
enjoyed this one a little bit of
a bumpy start couldn't quite
work out what the Hella
was going on I got a sense
of Buck Rogers,
planet of the Apes time portal thing going on at the beginning
(Plus trailers).
Then things were made aware
to us a bit left field and I
was like okay but because
of what was actually going
on I stuck with it and I'm
glad I did.
Is it a Marvel blockbuster
that Knocks it clean out the Ball Park, no absolutely not
(even though
we do have Gamora),
but I loved the vfx
they were tight, I loved
the exact* setting
the movie jumped emotions
a little (not quite sure
what they were going for)
but in this instance it worked
and I found it all rather
Sincere and heartfelt.
And that ending was
pretty frickin awesome
to be fair.
1H 32M well spent.
I will say one thing though
Man Mills Could Not
Catch A Break In This
Movie,
(Holy-Shit and I thought
I had a run of bad luck
often).
Reasonable enough action but don't expect anything more, a mix of Jurassic Park and After Earth but with very little else to it. Pretty so so role for Adam Driver, not memorable at all.
this is quite bad. i almost fall asleep
Enjoyed this for what it was, an action film that tries to look at things in a little different way. Thought the trailers set things up a bit differently than the actual film, insinuating that Mills was sent back in time rather than from another planet entirely. I did like the fact that the story took place EXACTLY at that point 65 million years ago and actually appreciated the fact that I didn't initially connect that to the asteroid impacts that disable the ship in space. It could be seen as a bit of a contrivance, but thought the visual attention to that cataclysmic event was well done and was an interesting turn since that was the true danger, not the dinos we already knew about in the trailer.
Looking forward to more Adam Driver in action roles like this and absolutely loved Ariana Greenblatt ever since she played young Gamora in Infinity War. Don't go into this expecting perfection, just have some fun with the ride.
The soundtrack is brilliant, but nearly everything else is not.
I respect a film that can pack its story into a tight 90 minutes. Unfortunately, that respect doesn't necessarily translate into a favorable review. Ultimately, 65 hangs its hat on a premise that probably worked better in the pitch session that it does on the screen. There's just no way to advertise this movie without revealing that its going to be Adam Driver versus dinosaurs, so all of the time spent before the dinosaurs show up is largely deflated of tension, as we know what's coming. It doesn't help that the opening scene is quite rough, delivering pure, uncut exposition in an attempt to create some emotional stakes. Now, the payoff for those poorly established emotional stakes are slightly more successful, but only just. The inciting incident is rough for a different reason, as budget constraints are apparent during the big crash landing sequence. In general, this movie suffers from an odd combination of high/low budget, giving the audience a sort of whiplash as we go from one to the other. The finale suffers from yet a third issue, as it just leans a bit too much into the fantastic, completely shattering suspension of disbelief in multiple respects the fact that the escape pod survived the crash, the fact that an escape pod can take off from in atmosphere, the fact that the escape pod is functional after falling off a mountain and being torn at and rolled by a T-Rex, and on top of the dinosaurs...the asteroid?!.
Now, despite all of that, the movie does have moments that shine, where you can tell that the creators accomplished exactly what they were going for. First, there's the simple sequence where Adam Driver sends a distress message out into space. That's the kind of scene that would have worked even in script form. Just solid writing. Another that comes to mind is the action sequence in the dark that leverages the hologram display tech. Just a fun idea that also doubles as a way to minimize budget. Unfortunately, those are about the only two that stuck out. To be clear, it's not that the rest of the movie is necessarily bad, just bland.
Great concept, it had potential but the negative attitude of the pilot kills it. I think he lost his daughter but they buried it and helping the other girl is his redemption arc or something. The whole thing with him not trying to survive or rescue the passengers just killed the momentum.
This is lower than mid. Adam Driver is ok, but the plot is a wet fart and the creatures are uninspired af
The Movie was slow....But The CGI was awesome and the ending Was Great!
jurassic Park meets land that time forgot, meets Star Trek.
So glad it was a short film.
warm gravy.
Outlander meets Jurassic Park. But without the cool alien dragon and other bits that made Outlander so great. Rated this high because it was entertaining if not 100% predictable. Plus the effects were good and it was nice to see the raptors like the over sized turkeys they were. Good for a rainy day. But don't expect much from this.
Forgettable
Mildly entertaining action sequences

The name of the movie should be: The Unlucky One.
For such a fun premise, this movie was doomed to disappoint in some capacity from the beginning. It’s not as dinosaury as Jurassic Park. It’s not as actiony as Predator. It’s not an compelling as Annihilation. It is a decent shut off your brain movie. That will be enough for many viewers, but will also be a turn off for others.
Rating: 2/5 - 6.5/10 - Not Recommended to Everyone
It could've been so much better. Both main characters are played well but it's just not that great. When you're in the heat of a bad situation people try to get out, they don't sit and stare at each other unless they are too scared to move. It could've been spectacular and a couple scenes delivered. But for the most part misses the mark.
6 is probably generous but I did like the graphics.
sometimes we just want to sit for 90 minutes and think about nothing as we watch.
a mesmerizing thriller that transcends language barriers to deliver a gripping and visually stunning survival tale. With minimal dialogue, the film relies on the raw emotions and actions of its protagonists, Mills and Koa, as they navigate a dangerous dinosaur-filled world. The silent chemistry between the characters amplifies the tension, drawing audiences into their desperate journey towards the distant escape ship. Through breathtaking visuals and masterful storytelling, "65" creates an immersive and suspenseful cinematic experience that speaks volumes without uttering a word.
This movie just pissed me off, so shallow and so many points left unanswered, and so many stupid decisions have been taken.
For example, what happened to the lady he saved on the beginning the movie?
And why he didn't leave the child in the main ship to be safe?
And how the hell a civilization that advanced didn't have a collision handling algorithm, hell my Tesla FSD Beta can handle it better.
Also, the ending scene when this dinosaur was hitting the space craft so hard but still it was able to launch.
Also, I didn't take the main actor as a spaceman for a sec, it was a bad casting.
very very mehhhhhhhh good movie if your bored
why would someone make this movie?
I really dont know why the bad comments. I liked it and thats that. :smirk:
Such a wasted opportunity. The concept is good, but it is badly handled. And don't get me started on the "dinosaurs"... they basically ignored 30 years of science post Jurassic Park and just slapped together a bunch of lizard-like skinny aberrations that behave like Steven Seagal and called it a day.
Good special effects, but rather bland story.
A decent watch that puts in some time with the character stuff and does a good job of not making Driver a superhero as he’s getting beat up the whole movie, just needed to deliver a bit more on the Dino side
5/10 MEH
I think I could have stretched it to a 6/10 but It would have been to kind….
A bloody good concept, just poorly executed!!
It jumps from one contrived jeopardy scene to another and another and another, tight spot, instantly resolved, tight spot, instantly resolved.
The cgi is good the weapons are great.
It’s the dynamic between the two leads that is missing, it never builds to be anything and to be honest you don’t care about either of them in the end…..
Such a shame as in the right hands this could have gone somewhere!!!!
Oh and as for the title 65, it doesn’t fit the movie….
Also the flashbacks are poorly placed and misjudged!!!
Imagine getting one of the best actors working today with an interesting story and completely fucking it up.
An enjoyable story we've all seen before. Adam driver and Ariana Greenblatt make it worthwhile.
so Adam visited Earth before THE Adam of Eve. Got it
There is an initial approach that seems to belong to the twisted science-fiction genre that was so popular in the 80s. And finally it ends up being a product that, regardless of the absurdity of its proposal, a mix between "Jurassic Park" and "Predator", ends up being entertaining, although the reduction to two characters and the main theme around home and family end up harming it. It is such a blatant attempt to reach all audiences that it strikes a difficult balance between cheesy and intense, and in the end it leaves a disappointing feeling.
the acting is good and the dinos are fun but without worldbuilding it's a disappointment. just watch/play the last of us for the same dynamic between the two protagonists but Better
The movie could have been made better. The movie was boring and takes place between two people. They don't show much of the dinosaurs either.
You best watch Jurassic Park.
The pilot of a transit starship and the passenger girl remain alive after an emergency landing on Earth, where a meteorite shower is about to end the era of dinosaurs forever. It sounds good, but in reality it always seems that R. Atenborough will enter the frame with explanations, but it looks like boring game. Pshik:recycle:
:heart:x6
This is not exactly a bad movie but it also is not a great movie. This was kind of like watching life happen between big major events. It really didn't give us much of a story except maybe at most a grieving protective dad storyline.
It is watchable but it's just not worth the time.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
SF mixed with Jurassic Park : the pitch is simple but catchy. The film goes to the essential, it's clean, Driver does the job and the young actress is rather fair. It lacks surprises though!
My score : ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
It's a shame that this movie wasn't placed in better hands, b/c it had real potential. Ariana Greenblatt is a tremendous, young actor, and she really shined in this role. The problem was, the way Adam Driver's character was written didn't coincide w/ his motivations in the film. It was a juxtaposition of someone suffering great loss but having mannerisms that didn't match that type of life event. It frustrated the course of the film, and it made this less than what it had the potential to be.
Feels like a stock movie written and directed by AI. Far from the worst thing I’ve seen so far this year, but almost entirely soulless, boring and lacking in any ambition. You can’t simply make the umpteenth Alien/Predator rip-off, replace the main monster with dinosaurs, and call it a day. I’m sure Sony is petting themselves on the back for throwing a lot of money at an ‘‘‘original’’’ film, but really this just shows how limited the pool of ideas is nowadays when you want studio financing.
3/10
Oh man, what a cool idea and then they spoiler everything in the first minutes. How cool would have it been if you haven't known. Rest is more a drama than a survival action. Kinda the same with Prey, just give the audience something to think about instead of telling them everything. It makes this just boring.
Adam Driver is great. Really.
Sadly the movie is not. It's a forgettable straight to video TV movie full of plot holes and mediocre film making. It's the fame thing as Will Smith's After Earth.
I quite enjoyed it, despite the reviews. Certainly nowhere near the worst movie I’ve seen this year so far.
I didn't read the synopsis for this movie Just watched the trailer. Watched with an open mind.
CGI was Very good other than that the Film was POOR, Personal opinion Adam Driver has a face for radio.
POOR Continuity Mills pulls what looks to be 10m of rope from a bag and Koa manages to decorate a tree with it.....
Well better then I expected but don't expect much.
I liked the sound effects and CGI. The movie doesn’t have a major plot or grand character arcs. A fairly straightforward survivor story. Instead of the stupid 2-hours+ show length every single movie seems to be stretching themselves into these days, this one sticks to an appropriate 1.5 hours. This is a big plus. It’s not terrible as some of the comments make it out to be though IMO.

Apparently, Adam Driver has now reached the Nic Cage stage of his career.
