Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie is absolutely horrible. I can't believe something like this can be distributed on DVD. Everything about this movie is a huge mess. The most disappointing thing about the movie is that it was made from the same director who made the epic masterpiece "Commando". It made me realise how accidental genius Commando was. Obviously Mark L. Lesters career has been going straight down the hill. This movie makes "PIECES" look like art.The effects are incredible dreadful. The animatronics and latex dolls looks really cheap, but the CGI is really crap. In some scenes you can even tell that they have used the same CGI loop over and over again. This movie reminds me why CGI sucks compared to old school effects because the CGI is nothing but laughable.Unfortunately the CGI isn't the worst part about the movie. I'm talking about the acting. Nothing can prepare you for the acting, seriously. Unless you have seen "TROLL 2", "PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE" or "MEXICAN WEREWOLF IN Texas" you don't know what you're getting into. These people should be banned from acting. Coolio really steals the show though, playing a real badass. That guy will probably act in almost anything.Even though I think this is a piece of crap. I still enjoyed it to a certain extend. I knew from the beginning of the film exactly what kind of film this was going to be. I mean, it's a freakin dinosaur movie with Coolio. Who could possible expect this to be any good? If you are interested in bad movies then I recommend it, but if you are interested in a really cool dinosaur movie then stay the f*** away from Pterodactyl. Watch Jurassic Park instead.

This movie is crap, even the soldiers in the movie, don't look or even act like soldiers, they just extras wearing military uniforms. Interesting why in these sort of movies, early on, they are all wearing their army helmets, yet later in the movie, none are wearing their helmets despite under combat conditions. There is one soldier that seems unable to keep the smile off his face, like been in the movie is one funny joke, which it is.Then there is the hot babe, who is simple in the movie because she is hot and ends up, a victim like in all these sort of movies.The special effects are not too bad.This movie was made to give a group of b-grade actors something to do.

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.

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.
