This movie is a cheap version of a Jurassic Park movie. I guess they were trying to piggyback off of the upcoming release of Jurassic World (2015) at the time this movie came out. In the movie, a secret laboratory in Las Angeles contains dinosaurs (without a real deep development of how or why), and inevitably these dinosaurs escape. To avoid them reeking havoc in the city, they are diverted to a prison where the dinosaurs have run-ins with an unlikely team of inmates consisting of a rapists on death row, a small group of sorority teens in for a misdemeanor, and a trippy druggy. The effects, as dinosaurs rip humans apart, look like they can be done by any amateur with a few prosthetics. The acting was even worse. If it was intended to be a B horror movie, it might not be so bad, but I really don't think it was supposed to be. Leave the dinosaur movies to Michael Chrichton and Steven Spielberg.

You have to give it one star if you don't have the strength to loose a chunk of your life torturing yourself for the full feature. However it generously delivers all it's low- expectations from the beginning enabling you to do something more useful like sort out your fridge or organise your toilet paper by different weights. The following is due to the fact that IMDb requires you to submit a minimum 10 lines, sorry in advance. 19 mins in there is some clichéd girl on girl action in a prison. The title sequence isn't bad, it matches the red of the tight short dress that the dark haired girl wears. There's a decent ironic analogy of Freud's structural model of the pschye captured through Altmanesque segues, actually there isn't I'm just fluffing out the 10 line minimum. Oh there are lingering shots of a woman's behind as she gets into a Jacuzzi. Sorry what was I reviewing again? It's already left my mind.

Writing a review of this . . . uh . . . film is not quite as bad as watching it. And if I can save anyone else the pain that I went thru, then maybe it is worth it.Is it any good? No. Not at all.Acting OK? No. Not at all.Dinos rock? No. Not at all.Interesting story? A twist maybe? No and No.I have a soft spot for "b" movies, but I don't know what this is.Save your money and get something else. Anything.You might think I am being harsh or grandstanding. Believe me you will stop thinking this if you ever dare to contaminate your DVD with Jurassic City. Go for a walk instead.

It is just wrong. CGI is cheap, monsters/blood/explosions don't connect to the set, to the lights; editing is awkward, sometimes a kill is full frontal, gory details and all, and sometimes it happens off-screen; story is as thin as you probably guessed, lines vary from utilitarian to abscond, with maybe an attempt at making it into genre sub-culture but unconvincingly so.And light/camera work is terrible: if you where willing to actually see the faces, the expressions of the people at work in front of you during one of those "let me explain myself" scene, you are out of luck one time out of two - which is, in these times of all-digital processing, kind of a shame.And it is full of mistakes, big and small, that you'll surely find a list of on this fine website if only people can be coerced to report on them.I hope the people who worked that film had fun, where getting paid and all that, and legitimately didn't hold too much hopes for the success of that thing.As much as I enjoyed Attack the Block, Pacific Rim or Independence Day or other stuff that people should obviously watch without taking it the least bit seriously, well, we are seriously into Anaconda III or various alligator/saurian Terribly Bad CGI siblings territory here; this is definitely no Snakes On A Plane.
