I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
As Good As It Gets
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Let's get it out of the way now - this movie has not an ounce of originality in its body. The creature is brazenly stolen from Predator, and the plot incorporates elements of Jurassic Park shamelessly.It is also an incredibly fun film to just sit back and enjoy.Part of this is the surprisingly earnest performances turned in by the main cast. Despite the silliness of his role morphing from a scientist to a doctor to an action hero as the plot demands, Mark Dacascos fills his part capably. Robin McKee is serviceable in a sidekick role that doesn't feel like a waste, and Tom Taus performs well as a surprisingly capable stock child companion. The underrated Roger Aaron Brown has a good part as a scientist working for the villain who has a crisis of conscience about the experiment. The real show-stealer, however, is Jurgen Prochnow, who chews the scenery but just avoids pushing it too far as the mad scientist main antagonist of the film. He is always entertaining when he is on screen, and his death comes far too soon.The plot is standard, and the visual effects bounce between impressive and bad. Mark McCracken (of Pumpkinhead 2) has a dual role as a tough soldier and the man inside the creature's costume. When he is in the costume, the creature has a nicely slimy and menacing appearance. CGI, however, is poor, both for the creature and for other scenes, especially the infamous helicopter crash.All in all, though, this is a very enjoyable film for fans of B-movies. If you're into such things, seek it out.
Mixes action, suspense, horror, and romance together (precise order is irrelevant) in a hilarious stew. That would be perfect if I was watching a comedy, but the writer's spun it as a serious Sci-Fi movie, not some cheesy flick, Forbidden Planet was far more realistic and it was a B-Movie. Taking elements from Jurassic Park, only in as much that the creature tore everyone apart with it's claws and teeth, Predator, again only because it could make itself invisible and had infrared vision, head looked somewhat like that of the Alien creature. The 1 scene where the CIA doctor's camera keeps flashing pictures driving the creature bonkers, why did they not just use strobe lights and while it was disoriented shoot darts with a sedative into it, high dose of some type of sedative. Does anyone buy it would have taken the CIA clean up team that long to arrive, come on now even for fiction that is difficult to believe. I feel compelled to let anyone who reviews this review, caught this movie on NETFLIX, sometime within the past 2 wks. I spoke to 1 of their CSRs reminding her that I canceled my streaming, free membership promotion with LG Smart TV ends in late November, service will continue until then. I told her that their movies cannot in any way ever be referred to as new releases, their movies are poorly written and directed, all around lousy quality. CSR had the nerve to tell me that most of the movies they have available for streaming are usually available through them before buying or rental, sure if 1 is referring to prior mentioned quality straight to TV, or DVD movies, TV 9 times out of ten you can bet your bottom dollar it was a SyFy Channel original.
Well, since I watched this movie for the third time, I must like this rubbish, no? Damn right I do! This is one pretty bad PREDATOR rip-off. Actually, this movie borrows so many elements from so many other movies, you can't even bother beginning to count them. Jürgen Prochnow looks like he's on cocaine or something, over-acting every line he speaks intensely. He looks pretty insane as the mad scientist with no conscience or morality. Mark Dacascos plays a doctor (haha!) who suddenly turns into Rambo (hoho!) or (more appropriate) into Major Alan"Dutch"Schaeffer (hihi!). The special effects are hilarious (that helicopter crash!!!) and the monster-suit is cool (with red & green colors). Of course it looks extremely rubbery. Plus: that annoying native kid gets killed! Way to go scriptwriter! So yes, this is rubbish, but of the enjoyable kind!
Starts by ripping off "Raiders of the Lost Ark," then rips of "Jurassic Park" a little, then finishes by shamelessly ripping "Predator." All three were better movies. Fairly interesting beginning runs out of steam and turns into "mutant chases victims through endless tunnels/hallways/jungles" flick. Jurgen Prochnow totally wasted here, as is the guy who played "The Crow" on TV, who is the de-facto hero here. Creature wasn't bad, but nonexistent budget shows. Helicopter crash so bad it must be seen to be believed. Only enjoyment was for wife who got a kick out of listening to the "native" dialect, which is really a Filipino dialect she speaks called Warai. Otherwise, just awful.
