As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

...and the unintentional comedy.I watched 100 Million BC because I had nothing better to do so I thought I could give this dinosaur film a try, and the story seemed fairly intriguing, although unoriginal. Since it's a TV movie, my expectations were pretty low to begin with. Turns out the film was even worse than expected.The CGI was appalling but that's fairly understandable for a low budget production. What really got me was the poor acting, and the terrible, terrible editing and sound. The directing was so bad that I think even I could have done a better job although I have no training in movie making. Also, my advice to the actors is to find another profession. How can they possibly be that bad? If the cast was random people picked up in the street, statistically they couldn't have been this poor. 100 Million BC was probably filmed in a few days and grossly sold off to cable channels that needed fillers.I'm still giving it a 2/10 because the beginning of the film was mildly intriguing, and because Marie Westbrook (yes, I actually looked her up) is a treat for the eyes, the only one in the entire movie by the way.

But in all honesty, is it really saying that much? I watched this out of curiosity as I make it a habit of watching these Syfy movies(most of which are really bad) when there is nothing else on. I have seen worse movies than 100 Million BC and there have been worse from SyFy, however this aside that doesn't stop it from being terrible. The production values are cheap and shot so darkly sometimes you can hardly make out what was going on and the effects look phony and the sound is both murky and lacking in authenticity. The music is canned, which can mean tacky and annoying, the case here, the story is badly paced often being dull and there are no thrills, suspense or tense build ups to savour and the dialogue is toe-curlingly bad. The acting not helped by some stock and clichéd characters is awful, Michael Gross tries but Chris Atkins is wooden and painful to watch. All in all, I've seen worse, but this was not a good movie at all. 2/10 Bethany Cox

For low-rent studio The Asylum, this is probably one of their bigger-budgeted efforts. I don't know what was spent on this movie, but I'm guessing a minimum of $1 million, probably closer to $5 million. Those CGI effects, as fake looking as they are, still cost several hundred K to produce.Also, this has actors in it (on the downward slide of their careers though they may be) that you have actually heard of. Usual fare from The Asylum gets actors you've never heard of, like minor soap opera players and refugees from other direct-to-video studios. Also, they did some actual location shooting in Belize. I think it was just second unit footage with no actors in it, but, that still cost them some money. I would bet that the parts with the actors trudging through the supposed prehistoric jungle were shot in some remote part of California mountains.Which is to say that I am willing to grade on a curve here. The producers and director are working with a really low budget. Still, you have to have a good story. The idea for the film was a good hook I thought, but the story is a little confusing. I'm willing to give some slack for "plot holes" since all time traveling movies have them.The acting was really not too bad. These are all experienced working actors trying to do a good job. About the worst moments were some of the death scenes where they get eaten by dinosaurs. However, I've seen much worse, namely in any Ed Wood film, or anything by Coleman Francis or Al Adamson. The music was canned, but it didn't sound too bad, it did sound somewhat similar to a big budget studio movie soundtrack. And helicopter shots of Los Angeles at night (the whole last 30 minutes of the movie) always add a higher budget sheen to the proceedings.If you like monster movies, there are worse ones out there. Maybe if you aren't paying too much attention, they will fool you into thinking that you watched a big budget movie. I recognize that this is not a ringing endorsement. Unless you are a monster movie fanatic, or fan of schlock, I would stay away.

I hate bad movies, and this is a bad movie!If these navy crew members were sent back in say 1948, how come they act and dress like 2000's people, remember they have only been away for 6 years? Especially the women are hot modern looking chicks. And one of the guys has two modern tattoos on his arms. Come one! Give us a break! And the tragically panicking S&R Navy Seal team! Jeez! Such a bunch of losers, bad actors nearly everyone. And the story is only rudimentary written.Imagine a T-Rex or whatever on the loose in some big city. Wouldn't pedestrians and drivers evade it? Wouldn't the responsible officers sound the alarm? Wouldn't the chopper pilot keep a safe distance and fire his weapons effectively?If you were in the cretaceous, wouldn't you keep a lookout all the time and never turn your back to the unknown? Could you hit a pterodactyl in mid air with a bow and arrow? What sense is there in running away from the group your only chance of survival? Why do they only have small caliber weapons against thick skinned dinos? Armor piercing bullets? Why do they not wear body armor or helmets? Do they not have any discipline? This movie makes me puke!
