The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Jurrasic Fight Club, OK first the title sounds like they try to combine Jurassic park and Fight Club in order to draw audience to watch this series and in the end they failed for the main host had make contract for a season 2 ,which never came! Soccer right I mean it has dinosaurs and prehistoric animals in general battling to the dead show what in Pangea went wrong and the series failed for real it was aired in 2008 and less the 400 users have rated!The promise though it sounds good and some of the scenes are awesome it is just that some good scenes and I wanted more blood ,kills and the fights not to be interrupted every three to five minutes by the hosts in order to make an exposition to the audiences the characteristics of its animal. Give them to the start of the episode and then go straight to the combat ,with out cutting to shoot in the middle! The fact is that in that way to take away the thrill of the kill and when your series has the words "Fight Club" in it then you raise the expectations!The other issues it that it has many scientific inaccuracies that even average documentary viewers knew in the late two thousands. For instance the raptors were covered in feathers , Nanotyrranous wasn't yet a confirm separate species (in 2015 in was revealed than it was actual a teenage T-Rex) and dinosaurs were good parents! Those issues could be forgiven if it was aired the late nineties and early two thousands but not in 2008!Despite all these negativity it had some good things going for it. One the designs for some are very good especially those for Allosaurs, Ceratosaurus, Megalodon and Pachuranosaurus (this was way better than those in the Movie of 2014). And when the kills happen are well animated to. My issue was it was like the producers try to make the series like Pulp Fiction and it felt disconnected.In short is a good way to spend your time and it doesn't need to be drunk to enjoy it ,but when you start with such premise and you get that then you can't say anything else than MEDIOCRE!!

A sad show where what are often presented leading minds in their respective fields talk about wild hypothesis and theories rarely saying it could all be a "maybe", often boasting them with a "it's now believed" when it's not and pretending to understand everything from just a few clues (nearly everything is a "know" and not a "could be"). It's disgusting to see how they show no respect for science whatsoever, they don't even think about the fact that they are talking to people who don't have any kind of real knowledge about these subjects and could take everything they say as pure gold.The CG isn't bad at all compared to other dinosaur shows (I refuse to describe them as documentaries) and the animations are kind of good too. In the end... since there is a huge lack of serious dinosaur shows and documentaries out there I forced myself to watch this as long as I could see decent CG reconstructions of dinosaurs. I also liked the few reliable informations they gave (even if I still have to double check them...).If you want to watch this just please keep in mind that this isn't something to take too seriously... the science in it is forced and "Dinosaur George" should go study some more for the sake of the people that believe everything he says...P.S. Why every time I watch an American show/documentary about these animals they only use superlatives to describe them? Everything must be the BIGGEST! STRONGEST! THE MOST EVIL! THE MOST FEROCIOUS! even when they are not...

This show has a very interesting idea, but unfortunately, its potential was not fully realized. Dinosaurs fascinate most people because they are shrouded in mystery. The CGI reconstruction of the fight scenes are very well done, even though there might be inaccurate in some cases, but in my opinion, that's part of the fun, the fact that you can play with the presentation a bit.On the other hand, despite the good idea and great CGI rendering, the show's major problem is it's time. The show has 45 minute long episodes and it is very repetitive. The announcer and paleontology experts repeat the facts many times, and you can't help but feel that they think you're dumb. I think this show would of worked better in a 25-30 minute time-frame, giving the great feeling and graphics, but wouldn't be repetitive and boring.

Back in the mists of time there lived a type of television show that looks positively prehistoric to the modern audience. These shows represented animals as being like people. "Oh there goes Mr Beaver off to work at his dam, and here comes Mrs Beaver to make sure he hasn't forgotten his lunch."This show is like those old dinosaurs. One dinosaur killing a female dinosaur is described as a "crime" and "domestic incident", for goodness sake! There's a lot of talk of crime scenes, murder and the like almost as though the producers would rather have been turning out a documentary about strangled hookers or something rather than dinosaurs.You get a few scientists presenting their latest theories as solid fact whereas they are often conjecture or simply the most fashionable theory of the moment. There's plenty that isn't known about dinosaurs but the show doesn't give that impression at all. Everything is repeated again and again and I don't just mean in the way all shows do these days because of the advert breaks. No you'll have to hear the same information repeated over and over again as though they assume you are thick or they just didn't have enough material to fill the running time.This is about as poor and tacky as the title suggests, but the CGI at least looks OK. Since this show has no real interest in dinosaurs beyond them being "cool at fighting" it's hardly a surprise that many of the dinosaurs featured have no association with the Jurassic period whatsoever. This could have been solved by calling it "dinosaur fight club" or something but they know most viewers will only care about seeing some fighting monsters. One final moan, if you are going to have an episode where the word Madagascar is said about once every two minutes it might be a good idea to check the host can actually pronounce it before filming starts because there's no place called Maddy Gas Car.
