Many of the other reviewers are correct about the acting and the dinosaur being impervious to high fire bullets. However, the story made up for any of these problems by the way people showed care for each other. The eating scenes of the dinosaurs were realistic. The movie is just plain enjoyable!
... View MoreThere are absolutely no redeeming qualities about this movie. Some movies are so bad they just become hilarious, intended or not. But this film is just very annoying, unappealing and HIGHLY disrespectful to ALL military personnel in the way it depicts the actions of the "Navy SEALS" in the movie. 1. No military force would ever go into a very open, large area with MP-5 submachine guns. ESPECIALLY in this case, where their targets are f*cking dinosaurs for god sakes. 2. No Navy SEAL team, nor most military soldiers for that matter, would bitch, moan, cry and whimper when they something move in the distance. 3. No disciplined soldier would shoot randomly, without orders, for no reason, at something moving in the distance, and also not face severe disciplinary consequences for doing so. 4. No SEAL team goes into an operation with NOTHING but standard army camouflage, a submachine gun and a side arm. They didn't have medical supplies, travelling gear, food, radio communication, armor, or ANY provisions. 5. A navy SEAL not intending to blend in to civilian society would never have a thick mustache, long bushy sideburns or gelled spiky hair. Ridiculous.Aside from the above, this incredibly atrocious movie has the some of the worst CGI to date, some of the worst acting you will ever see, unbearable characters who you want to get eaten, and a godawful script.
... View MoreBut in all honesty, is it really saying that much? I watched this out of curiosity as I make it a habit of watching these Syfy movies(most of which are really bad) when there is nothing else on. I have seen worse movies than 100 Million BC and there have been worse from SyFy, however this aside that doesn't stop it from being terrible. The production values are cheap and shot so darkly sometimes you can hardly make out what was going on and the effects look phony and the sound is both murky and lacking in authenticity. The music is canned, which can mean tacky and annoying, the case here, the story is badly paced often being dull and there are no thrills, suspense or tense build ups to savour and the dialogue is toe-curlingly bad. The acting not helped by some stock and clichéd characters is awful, Michael Gross tries but Chris Atkins is wooden and painful to watch. All in all, I've seen worse, but this was not a good movie at all. 2/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreI, too, got sucked into buying this at Wal-Mart because of the cover art - the misleading cover art.I watched the other flick, "Journey To the Center Of the Earth" first and thought it was putrid. Well, it was, but "100 Million BC" was even (new word) putrider. I can only conclude that everyone involved during the couple of days it took to put this s--t together were drunk.As for Michael Gross, well, oh how the mighty have fallen. As for everyone else, may they fall off the face of the earth. The jokers who were advertised as "an elite military team" were scary. In spite of the pseudo-intellectual ranting they were thoroughly unconvincing as their characters and as actors.Well, maybe, it was played for laughs, but it was neither humorous or even mildly interesting. Being a sadist I sat through the whole thing with the feeling that it had to get better.It got worse. CRAP with a capital K. If you spot this in the Wal-Mart bin take it out and, as a public service, stomp on the damn thing so no one else will be taken in.One hundred million zeroes for "100 Million BC."
