I don't think I have laughed so much as I did seeing this movie! This one should have a warning sign saying: Warning! what you are about to see contains: Awful acting! Awful Special Effects! Is probably the worst movie ever made!The acting couldn't be worse! I cannot imagine how anyone could agree to play in a movie like this. The special effects in this movie is by far the most awful I have ever seen! The script is the only thing that isn't completely worthless in this film. If they had a bigger budget, better actors and better special effects this movie could actually have been good.If you feel like having a really funny night, watch this useless piece of dinosaur's p.ss, otherwise stay away. Though, if you have a weak stomach you shouldn't watch this movie since it contains some gore.-3/10 on the serious scale 10/10 on the funny scale

Sci-Fi channel original movies are the movies that used to be on Saturday matinées. B movies like Planet 9 from Outer Space, Mars Needs Women and Killer Klowns from Outer Space but this movie gives entertainingly bad moves a bad name.The Pterodactyl's themselves are ridiculous looking (which is strange because the technology from Jurassic Park 3 made some convincing looking pterodactyls a few years ago but I'm not going to nit pick). It was strange that if you hit one of them just right, it would explode in a mist of red goop (probably cherry jello).It has rapper, Coolio, calling anything and everything a __ __ son of a bitch. Stick to rapping dude.There are people being ripped in half (I don't think if a person were ripped in half it would look like the body is stuffed full of spaghetti).The plot says that this is taking place in a third world nation of eastern Europe, but the whole thing looks like it was shot on the fairway of a golf course in Hawaii, in fact when the story says they have been traveling from one clearing to another and they come out onto the same fairway shot from a different angle.With the exception of some of their series's, Sci-Fi original programming is without a doubt, some of the most entertainingly BAD movies I've ever seen.

Potential Spoilers!!! Think Sci-Fi Channel and the word "Pterodactyl" ... whad'ya'think you're gonna get? There's probably a hundred different ways to tell a story called "Pterodactyl" on Sci-Fi; this is one of them. None of Sci-Fi's movies are "nine years in the making" with budgets the size of some economically-evolving countries.Personally, a Sci-Fi movie is the equivalent of a training college where you can go get your hair cut and styled by students. It's practice. A chance for those who might have some funk going on elsewhere to ... do something else. Flex. Play. That's the actors, directors, writers, right on through to keeping grips employed.And keeping viewers entertained. Do we really expect a new movie every week with writing, directing, CGIs and all the enormous support that goes into a film these days to equal something like "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "King Kong"? Can we legally bludgeon them because they don't? Naw...didn't think so.Sci-Fi, keep making the movies. Upcoming folks get to exercise, we get to watch stuff we would otherwise not get to see and would have to watch the re-runs of something or other instead.I like Giant Birds. "Pterodactyl"? I'm not complaining.I don't have to watch or buy.From experiments like this, eventually, good things happen. Good movie, good director, good writer, good support industry. It comes together and happens. In the past, we didn't get to be in on this back end where often times really good things happen.Given the options; I'd rather see the movies.Warts and all.

Before I start, I want to say that flying reptiles CAN have good scenes in movies. Ex: One Million Years B.C., When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, and the only good part of Jurassic Park 3.Now then. Jurassic Park is the greatest dinosaur movie ever, or at least one of them. Pterodactyl is the complete opposite. It is filth. These pterosaurs are SUPER PTEROSAURS! They are bulletproof, have beaks and claws that can easily rip things apart, and fly fast enough to avoid missiles and make people explode by flying near them. Everything about this movie is crap. An insult to dinosaur movies everywhere.There is one good thing. Mircea Monroe is incredibly hot, and has very fine breasts. She strips down for a swim, and shows her wares nicely. Just buy a Maxim with her in it for a thousand times more entertainment than this movie.
