I have never read the novel it was based off, but I'm interested to see what changes were made.. the acting is credible, characters somewhat developed... but the effects; if you can call them that, are unconvincing at best. that is the main reason I watch a dinosaur movie. the special effects. and this movie did not deliver in that field. the dinosaurs were hand puppets, rod controlled puppets, and a close to full size tyrannosaur animatronic robot. and yes, I could tell when which technique was used and when another was not. the tyrannosaur robot provided the best performance but it was severly underused. for those who are interested in seeing a gory version of jurassic park, check this one out. just don't expect the same feeling of awe and wonder of spielberg's epic. CARNOSAUR RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A mad scientist named Dr. Jane Tiptree (Diane Ladd) mixes dinosaur and chicken DNA together and hatches meat-eating dinosaurs (carnosaurs) from chicken eggs. Okay, she only hatches Velociraptors and T-rexes. She lets them loose on a Navada town, and the carnosaurs begin to eat people. She also makes a virus that makes women give birth to carnosaurs! Who can stop them? Doc Smith, a former doctor that guards construction equipment, and Ann Thrush, an enviormentalist. Okay, the special effects really, really bite. But the other stuff, plot, acting, screenplay, direction, are all fairly good. I love this movie, and I love it's sequels, too. Favorite Part: Doc and Ann battle a T-rex with bulldozers. Who knew chickens would bring down mankind?!?! This is the story about how a crazy female scientist uses chickens in an attempt to destroy mankind. After years of research, she creates a chicken egg that hatches...a dinosaur! This is all nice and quiet and out of the government's reach, but sadly when a truck driver escapes with an egg inside a crate full of chickens. He then proceeds to escape and eat the residents of a southwestern town. The tables have turned! Now it's the chickens' turn to dip humans in sweet-and-sour sauce! Unfortunately, a drunk and down-and-out construction worker (who is battling local hippies who don't like people moving dirt because, after all, the dirt was here first) discovers bodies and encounters the carnosaur, then goes to meet the scientist who created the thing. He discovers that she has created a plot to destroy mankind. Sadly, all this is after forty-five minutes into the film. The next half hour is the scientist (played by Diane Ladd) blabbering on and on about how humans stink and the planet belongs to the dinosaurs (hey it's not our fault they can't survive one stinkin' meteor!). This made the film absolutely BORING! For the love of god, lady, SHUT UP! I was yelling at our hero to just shoot her so the scene would end! Diane Ladd is no Marlon Brando, and Dr. Tiptree is no Colonel Dax. I think the writer knew he had a cool idea for a sci-fi plot, then just overindulged himself. The film in general is just bad. Bad affects, horrible filmmaking (Roger, encourage your directors to PLAN their shots), and a script that is creative in it's content but fails to deliver. Yeah the idea was cool and the twist ending surprised me but...it's just a bad script. Maybe it was all the stupid side-jokes like, "Dinosaurs ruling the planet...that would make a great theme park." BOO!! There is one reason to see this movie: the part where the hippie says to the dinosaur, "Peace, green brother!" Ah, such fine last words...
