Watch Raptor Island For Free

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Forty years after a plane crashes on an island in the South China Sea, manly Lorenzo Lamas (as "Hack" Hacket) and his team of US Navy SEALs arrive to rescue secret agent Hayley DuMond (as Jamie Cole). She has been abducted by arms smuggler Steven Bauer (as Azir) and his gang of terrorists. They are all in for a BIG surprise, because radiation from the crashed plane has caused mutated dinosaurs to overrun the island. "Raptors have been extinct for over a hundred million years!" exclaims Ms. DuMond after an attack. "Somebody forgot to tell them," replies Mr. Lamas. "Raptor Island" turns out to be a small and uninhabited atoll. It's amazing to see so many healthy carnivorous dinosaurs running around. They've kept the place tidy.** Raptor Island (8/21/04) Stanley Isaacs ~ Lorenzo Lamas, Hayley DuMond, Steven Bauer, Michael Cory Davis

I'm usually a fan of these kind of straight-to-DVD movies, and dinosaur movies in general, but this one was not very enjoyable. The plot was loosely put together and I felt like it was generic and unoriginal. Only towards the end to the characters start to get interesting. For what its worth, the raptors were pretty fake, but thats not really my complaint with them. They just never seem to die and are VERY stupid. I would have liked to see more of a variety of dinosaurs and when they attack, I'd like it to be believable and a tad more gory. If you have LOTS of time on your hands, go ahead and watch it, but be warned you might fall asleep.

This movie was horrible. I couldn't stand it. The computer graphics looked like they belonged in a cheap video game and the fight scenes were the worst i had ever seen. The people couldn't shoot worth crap and when they did manage to get some hits on the raptors, the corny blood spat out and there wasn't even an entrance or exit wound. In the scene where Azeer was killed by the three raptors they ate his entire body, bones, organs and all, in about 2.73 seconds. I think that's a record. Also whenever the people would start shooting the raptors the raptors just stood there like nothing was happening until they decided to run away. The acting was bad but the plot was okay. I rate movies half on how much I enjoyed them and how well they were made. I give this a 2/10 and that is the worst i give. Go watch a better dinosaur movie like Jurassic Park or something instead of wasting your time watching 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.
