Must See Movie...
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Two yard clearance men, a couple of hot chicks and a drunken veteran take on an invasion of terrordactyls from outer space in order to save LA (perhaps the military were on strike!). The characters are likeable and the film started off promising, however it slows down mid way through and the humour starts to get sillier (a la Sharknado). The creatures are very unconvincing, but perhaps that was intentional. Some fun to be had but also easily forgettable & not a film that I would watch again.
TERRORDACTYL is a dreadful comedy/horror/fantasy/science fiction film about people fighting a giant CGI Pterodactyl. There's no more to the story than that, and it says something that this is so poor that it makes equivalent Asylum films look good by comparison. It wasn't even picked up by the SyFy Channel, instead escaping to DVD under the re-titling of JURASSIC WARS.The story opens with a meteorite landing on Earth and spawning the aforementioned beastie. It destroys some stuff and carries a few people away to their deaths, but if you're expecting anything like a kaiju film then you'll be sorely disappointed. The acting is terrible and the attempts at comedy cringe-worthy. As for the special effects, they're absolutely awful and among the worst examples of CGI I've seen lately. Despite the short running time this is a film which drags interminably and is a real chore to sit through.
They fell from the sky! Two buddies, albeit one being a moron, get the chance to save Los Angeles. Lars (Christopher Jennings) and his rubber-jaw slacker friend Jonas (Jason Tobias) hit the bar right after work; while outside the night sky is aglow with a meteor shower. Bartender Candice (Candice Nunes) impresses the dimwit Jonas by talking about how space rocks are worth a lot of money. The two buddies manage to find an odd looking rock and hopes it is worth a fortune. Things turn very sour when the meteor show turns out to be an attack of ancient pterodactyls and Jonas and Lars don't possess a space rock, but a flying reptile egg.You would expect some sleazy CGI, but alas, the special effects are visually pretty solid. Action at times drags, but worst of all is the humor that easily flat lines. You beg for Jonas to be the first to go. His stammering and ignorance brings more groans than laughs. But you know what, I will take this over "Sharknados" anytime.Candice's room mate Valerie (Bianca Haase) is stunning! Also in the cast: Jack E. Curenton, Leo Oliva, Aubrey Wakeling and Victoria Summer.
Today many filmmakers use unashamedly the ideas of others without even include a "based on" or "inspired" in the credits. Ishirō Honda, the father of "Daikaiju", brought us already a flying monster coming from space in "Rodan" (1956) that appeared in another nine movies to date. Then we had in 1957 the unaccredited American version of "Rodan", the low-budget Sam Katzman production titled "The Giant Claw". But from what I have no doubt is that the story line for the sequences with the nest and eggs in "Terrordactyl" obviously follow (again, unaccredited) the story line on Larry Cohen's masterpiece from 1982 "Q - The Winged Serpent (1982)".
