Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I found this movie to be watchable but trite and predictable. I like Lamas but this was not his best effort. The acting was stiff and wooden at times. The bad guys were not very nice. The seal team acted like they didn't know what they were really doing- They were grouped way too close together when they were moving through the woods, a grenade could have taken the whole team out, they shoot from the hip not sighting at their targets. The good is that the bad guys all come to bad ends but so do all but one of the team and the "company" agent. They finally get rescued just as the island is blowing up from the volcano. Now as to the raptors- Supposedly caused by a crashed plane with weapons grade plutonium on board there turn out to be hundreds of them and a giant one that is suppose to make a T-Rex pee. So where is the food source to support such a population? During the whole movie no other life is seen except for the raptors and the humans. Of course the raptors could have cleaned out the island but then there shouldn't have been so many left. At the end after the rescue there are at least three raptors seen swimming in the ocean after the chopper. I sure hope this did not set up a sequel

When I saw this back in 2004, the night it came out, the commercials looked promising, and I had been waiting for this movie for two weeks.when I saw it, wow, Navy SEALs spraying their weapons, never actually trying to aim, the the raptors would like just stand there, getting shot over and over again.Besides raptors, a t-rex somehow also comes out. In this movie, raptors can eat you in just two bites, destroying your body completely.Despite all this, I actually liked it, and the main villain was actually likable. The SEALs, however, somebody forgot to teach them everything a SEAL is supposed to know.

Some of the cheapest looking CGI creatures you'll ever see attack some of the most poorly trained mercenary troops to ever brandish fake looking weapons on a bogus "South Sea island" set (in Canada). The goofs are endless, the script resembles mangled Swiss cheese, and the story is pretty much a chaotic maze of nothingness.The Raptor attacks are priceless. Usually they stand around, hanging out in groups doing nothing, as nitwit Green Beret wanna-be's pepper them with hundreds of rounds, and they just kind of stare in stupefied apathy as the useless bullets shower them. One of two things always happens: Either they get sick of being shot at, and they gang tackle the victim and then some animated blood spurts around; or a poorly done CGI red blotch appears on the poor confused Raptor and it drops over in a heap, never losing that silly grin they always seem to have. The chronological order for the victims-to-be is so obvious, they might as well have had numbers painted on their faces.Viewers definitely need to "turn off the brain" for this material. The writer, director, and cast certainly did.

In the words of Billy Bob Thornton this movie is funny, but I don't know if it's funny ha-ha! Or funny Queer. Lorenzo Lamas is queer to begin with, then you add sorry effects and a lame story line and you have for a cocktail of queerness all around. If your a Sci-Fi fan you can watch this movie because is Sci-Fi but I warn you, you could develop some funny feelings (I don't know if funny ha-ha or funny queer) in the pit of your stomach. Over all this movie sucked like all of Lorenzo Lamas movies. What was that show he was on anyways, oh well I don't care I am just trying to fill the 10 lines so I can post this comment on a all around queer movie.
