It was very difficult for me to take Triassic(huh) Park seriously due to the weak effects, script and performances. I think this is one movie that Emilia Clarke(Sarah Connor, Terminator Genisys) would wanna forget. She was sincere in her role but the average direction makes her performance forgettable. The fossils that turn alive look unintentionally funny than creepy and the effects make it worse. Most of the actors who come before the camera(except for the lead Steven Brand, Kirsty Mitchell, Raoul Max etc.) have dead pan expressions even when they have just been attacked by the fossil raptors, tyrannosaurus or the birds whatever. If you're a fan of monster or creature movies and don't mind how hilariously bad some can get, you'll survive this one. Pros - Sarah Conner, Cons - the Triassic(script, actors, effects) attack.

I rarely rip on the acting performances in creature features from the SyFy Channel, but Jesus H. Christ. Where the hell did they find all these people? A project like "Triassic Attack" isn't going to attract the cream of the crop, but this cast goes well below the minimum requirements. For one thing: nobody in this quiet, rural American town manages to hide their British accent. For another, the inevitable comic relief character has the comedic timing of an orphanage fire. The Native American character does seem to be pulled straight from an SNL sketch, but I think those scenes are supposed to be taken seriously. The effects are never that good in SyFy movies, but they are especially bad here. These dinosaur skeletons seemed very difficult to animate, they move in a really unnatural way. There are several scenes where we get dangerously close to "Birdemic" territory. Overall though, the most bothersome thing about this movie is that it just doesn't give the audience what it wants. All you want to see is dinosaurs eating people, and it barely has any of that. And on the rare occasions you do see it, it appears to be completely bloodless because adding CGI blood is more work. Not even good for a laugh.

Upset about the building on his sacred land, an Indian shaman summons an ancient spirit to stop the construction, but when they take the form of the dinosaur skeletons housed nearby, he joins with the police to stop their rampage before they eat the entire town.This here turned out to be quite the decent Sci-Fi Channel effort. One of the film's better features is some rather fun and enjoyable action scenes here that give this some fun and enjoyable scenes, as the ceremony to bring them back to life is one of these highlights. There's some fun to be had with the gathering of the different elements needed, the flashing images as the connection occurs unknowingly during the ceremony and then finally unleashing the skeletons which leads into the secondary attack on the construction site outside in a wholly impressive scene, while the student attacks in the forest that eventually results in their bloody discovery later and the escape in the police car trying to dodge the creatures always breaking in, bursting the creature to pieces before chasing them into a water- tower. Later action scenes here are a lot of fun as the big school-site ambush as it begins rampaging through the gathered faculty members at the ceremony which brings on plenty of fun action with the encounters of the staff and the others trapped inside while giving this some rather fun action. That doesn't even get to the film's two main highlight scenes, the big attack on the beach where skeleton creatures goes on a rampage at the fraternity initiation and begins chomping down on the members quite gruesomely in an extended and enjoyable sequence, while the finale comes off as a lot of fun with the secondary spiritual ceremony and the different attacks on the town before finally getting to the unique and creature finale that's wholly fun here. Along with the novel idea of the skeletons instead of the flesh-and-blood creations, there's some good parts here though it does have a few small issues. The biggest problem here is the film's use of those skeleton dinosaurs, as they're an absolutely horrendous execution filled with several problems as this absolutely kills off the gore here by never giving the kills anything to go on as this barely even contains any blood. None of the kills here have any of that, and it's such a detriment that the cheesy atmosphere is completely gone. That also gives way to the film's other problem with such ludicrous and pathetic CGI that's beyond laughable and becomes such a severe flaw considering the screen time they have as this continues on with the same flaws as usual. Otherwise, this was a decent enough effort.Rated Unrated/R: Violence and Language.

I'll give some credit where it's due. I did think the locations did look beautiful and there is one good character, Wyatt, played with quirky enthusiasm by Gabriel Womack. However, while SyFy have done far worse than this(just look at Camel Spiders, Quantum Apocalypse, Titanic II and Alien vs. Hunter for examples) Triassic Attack is pretty lame. The skeleton dinosaurs' designs are a step above designs with dinosaurs in flesh and blood, but they still look substandard. The audio is overbearing at times and sometimes overshadows the dialogue. Nothing exciting musically either. The script apart from Wyatt's amusing quips is generally weak and unimaginative, and the story feels leaden and the usual suspend disbelief moments with a lack of thrills and suspense. Wyatt aside, the characters are clichéd and dull, and the acting more often than not look very stiff here. The direction is somewhat efficient, but ultimately joyless. Overall, not the worst I've seen from SyFy, but apart from the scenery, one good character and Womack, there was little good, in my opinion that is. 3/10 Bethany Cox
