100 Million BC



Time Travel and dinosaurs
Special effects on the dinosaurs in this are not real good,
but the multi-looping paradox time travel makes up for it.
The scientist sends his nurse girl friend and his brother
back to before the Asteroid hit Yucatan, where large predatory
lizards roamed free. Of 21 sent back only four live to return
and most of the rescue mission are lost as well.
A large dinosaur makes it through the time gate / wormhole
into downtown LA. I would have liked this to take place during the day,
but since the special effects are minimal,
they used the night to hide their faults...
and a happy ending results.
Let us hope they don't make a sequel.

You might regret this waste of time on your death bed
I picked this up from one of the Red Box rental units at the local grocery store and could tell by the time the credits had finished rolling that this was going to be a real stinker of a movie. B-Movie aside this has wretched acting and a paper thin plot based on highly dubious science. The only plus were the special effects that were so bad that they made me laugh a few times ... seriously folks, do not waste your money.

Could have been worse
The science fiction doubletalk actually wasn't as stupid as many time travel movies, but still pretty bad. The lack of a timer on the return device, especially since the inventor knew ahead of time on would be needed, is an OBVIOUS plot device. The special effects weren't very good, but could have been worse (see AVH: Alien Vs Hunter for the real pits). The SEAL team was stupid and wimpy - maybe even less realistic than time travel. I gave it 2 stars though because it is mildly entertaining.
