Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

You know you're watching a very VERY bad film when you're hoping it'll get better as it goes along but ... THIS DOESN'T! So many things wrong with this film, including very bad (un)special effects but one highlight is watching an undergrad student survive longer than trained, heavily-armed militants! This is only surpassed in wonder by the amazing dialog including "This is my last fruit juice and you can't have it!" ... yes, spoken to a Pterodactyl, machine gun in hand, before BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA-SCREEAAAAAAMMM!!! I am glad I watched it though as I now have a film to accompany "The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Masacre" in greatness ...

Like Tremors this is not meant to be art it is fun take it as such. it is a parody of this genre which i happen to like.only downer is loss of the geek and goofy blond so early.dialogue is simple and predictable yet watch it for the fun of it and enjoy.when was the last time you saw pterodactyls? the special effects weren't Star Wars but the flying dinosaurs at least didn't look like they were little clay figures.over all this is a movie to watch on a cloudy afternoon and talk back to the characters.

Another Sci-Fi channel story about a bunch of hungry prehistoric creatures coming to life for whatever reason, and seeking human victims. Apparently, these pterodactyls have seen other Sci-Fi channel movies on the cable in their mountain nest, and know that most humans are stupid and therefore easy prey. And the ancient birdies are right, these characters either just stand around and gawk at attacking monsters or they're too busy doing something evil to notice the incoming attacks.We've got all the shrieking teen stereotypes. It makes sense for the grad student and her science-freak boyfriend/prof to be on safari at the border of a hostile nation, but the apathetic freshmen? They just serve as comic fodder as well as pterodactyl food. I love how one ends up in the pterodactyl nest and punches the baby creatures, while a soldier next to her poses for the little guys to peck him to pieces. Oh, the soldiers are there to find a terrorist (there always seems to be a terrorist around when lethal creatures are loose).The special effects are usually OK, but there's a couple of scenes where they're laughably fake. I love when somebody fires a rocket at these things, with the predictable video-game result. It's obvious who's gonna get killed by the grinning monsters. A fun and really, really stupid movie.

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.
