Using dynamite to blast his way through centuries of silt, new chasms are created reaching miles below the ancient ocean floor. From here, an ancient evil is released, that quickly, savagely, and without warning, destroys Jackson s boat and kills his crew. The sole survivor of the carnage, Jackson teams up with marine biologist, Sarah, to venture back to the site and investigate the horrific events. They extract an egg from the darkest depths of the ocean and take it back to the lab to investigate. But when it hatches, they realise they have awaken a deadly prehistoric monster, the P-Rex, which will stop at nothing until the entire island is destroyed...

As Good As It Gets

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

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

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

I found it a really fun dinosaur movie and I'm a fan of films like Sharknado 1, 2, 3, this film fits into the category of So bad it's good. I've seen worst dinosaur movies than this but I thought Poseidon Rex delivered plus I've seen worst CGI monsters in films but come on guys, its just a low budget dinosaur movie

While working off the coast of Belize, a deep-sea diver unearths a giant prehistoric dinosaur and must team up with several locals to help put an end to the creature's rampage through the area.Frankly this one turned out a lot better than expected and had a lot going for it. One of the main aspects here is the fact that this one goes for a much-more involved action-packed storyline than expected which is quite fun here with that generating a drive throughout here to really get this one going. There's a lot of fun in the early attacks on the patrol-boats and the gangster's attack that are quite fun due to the lack of survivors for each that keeps the creature's initial appearance a shock from the heroes. That then makes the creature's appearance at the party-boat in front of the hordes of locals all that much fun by showing it in full- view and ready to attack the party-goers stuck there makes for a rather fun scene as it sets the stage for the film's two big highlights. The first encounter in the ocean which is the battle with the armed forces who attack it with patrol boats and guns is pretty exciting as the resulting carnage attracts it to land where it attacks the series of sea-side attractions and establishments while the second is a lengthy car-chase to try to get away from the creature while there's plenty of gunfire to keep it at bay, several attacks on the car itself to get at them and finally leads into the chase through the dense woodlands which has some chilling moments to try to prevent the creature from getting to them. These are all quite fun and manage to make for a rather enjoyable time here as this allows the film a nearly non-stop relentless pace to keep on going forward. Surprisingly, this also helps the fact that the creature itself, which is clearly modeled after a true dinosaur but endowed with features and characteristics that none known dinosaurs actually possessed, to look far better than expected here when the beast isn't running around like crazy as some of these shots are far better than expected and manage to let it look pretty convincing. Still, there's the ever-present flaw in many of these movies where the creature doesn't really mesh all that well with the CGI being glaring and apparent for the most part. There's very little true interaction with the surrounding elements when it's on land and comes off rather obvious during these segments. Likewise, the fact that this one seems to be a dinosaur that features sea-monster characteristics, from the tail- webbing and spiked hands that were never a part of any dinosaurs' anatomy does make it odd about what the creature actually is or how it survived since there's nothing given about that aspect, but overall this one was quite a bit of fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.

OK its not like I expected a lot. I mean its a giant monster movie so my expectations were low. But as others have said outside of the tropical location for most of the movie it didn't have a lot of pluses.Let's see here: 1. Although the movie characters constantly shoot at the monster with automatic weapons the CGI monster never shows a speck of blood or sign of a single wound until the end. They even hit the monster with a harpoon then have to untie the rope from the boat to keep the monster from pulling them under. Yet later the harpoon and rope are gone. Once again no blood or wound.2. They blaze away forever with said automatic weapons and the clips NEVER run out of ammo. Which is a good thing because they almost never even HAVE any extra ammo except on the coast guard boat.3. When they dive they find a wooden boat that is supposed to date back to the days when the Spanish looted the Mayans. Said boat had absolutely no coral growing on it. Now even if the explosion uncovered the boat it wouldn't have blown ALL the coral off it.4. The monster seems to be of variable size. I guess that could be a matter of point of view but the fact that it swims so well in the ocean but has no flippers and yet walks/runs of land just like its a land creature vice a water creature is unusual. It ALSO seems to walk on the bottom of the ocean and leave footprints.5. While the bends are mentioned while they are getting ready to dive later in the movie, at the beginning of the movie they set off explosives that would have certainly killed all the divers from the shock wave or if not the bends would have killed them. One of the first group of divers is found floating on the surface alive. I guess he came up in stages to prevent the bends while unconscious.6. So they go to an abandoned military base. In theory its been abandoned for decades. Never mind in the tropics it would be so overgrown it would be unfindable, they not only find it they are able to get an old junk heap of a generator to work so they have electric power to use an ancient radio so they can call for help.7. And this abandoned military base had a stocked armory and a working airplane and MOST of this stuff didn't even really look dusty or dirty.8. The monster is able to lift the front of its body out of the water far enough to smash down and sink at LEAST 5 boats. You see floating items after-wards but the boats themselves all sink like rocks ie the boats don't shatter and leave parts of the boat on the surface just coolers and such.So in summary while these type movies require you to to suspend belief this one had so many plot holes it was almost unwatchable. Then there was the horrible acting. :o)

I have a bad addiction to SyFy original films, and I unfortunately see almost all of them. This one actually had a decent plot and could have been done VERY well if it had a Hollywood (really anything but TV) budget. Out of all of the SyFy movies I have seen, it followed the same basic plot, a giant monster of some kind comes out of the ocean and attacks crappy actors, who were written by crappy writers and directed by a crappy director. But this one wanted SO BADLY to be GOOD! The T-Rex was actually ALMOST really cool looking. It ALMOST didn't look like a teenager in a computer class made him. All in all, it was a decent film, almost like a tribute to Godzilla, not a rip off mind you, because this actually was worth a watch. Three stars out of ten is fair for this, and it should be kept in mind before watching this. Any fan, or not fan, of SyFy, should check this one out!
