Too much of everything

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

not, not, not recommended due for multiple raisons. first is the gore; what happens to human beings in this flick is not pretty. then the general stupid tone, such as commandos and terrorists standing straight up and firing automatic weapons at each other from about 20 yards (some of them do fall, eventually). the dialog is clichemeful and the plot is identical to a hundred others of the genre. as for the cast, the brightest non-star is one Mircea Monroe, a quite beautiful young thing what looks strikingly like Natalie 'Dixie Chick' Maines.the main reason for watching such as this is the monster, and the sfx in this are much lower than Jurassic Park level.try catching the original Gojira, or, if you like monsters aloft, Rodan. do yourself a favor and skip Pterodactyl.

All I have to say is this is a pretty cool movie. It's the first movie where Pterodactyls are the main monster, not a sub-monster or a background monster but the main monster. The Pterodactyl effects are very good and I think the acting was pretty okay. There are some character issues in this, but what is perfect. For the most part I found it entertaining and enjoyable. My only real complaint is the boy making like a peeping Tom at the girl swimming. Hello, she had a swimsuit on, that's like being a voyeur at the beach. Coolio who is not my favorite person being in the "music" known as rap. But I think he does a pretty fair acting job in this. I believed him as a army soldier in this odd situation, plus shoot first and keep shooting is the way of the army. So all and all a pretty well made monster movie with all the jumps and scares in the right place. I give it 8 STARS.

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.

Let's start with the one good thing about this movie, the premise. This could have been a great Dino flick, right up there with "Q the Winged Serpent" or even the "Jurassic Park" films. However, the producer chose to go the cheap ass, very cheap ass, route and make a great premise into one of the worse horror, adventure, action films ever made. I think Jason Vorheese would have killed himself over this one. Anyway, i am getting off target. The Pteradactyls looked REALLY fake, which detracted from what little enjoyment there was from the film. The acting was simply beyond description. You know the acting is bad when Coolio is the high spot for acting. Had this film been in the hands of a skilled director and producer and effects house, it would have benefited greatly. The blood and guts, oddly enough, were quite well done, but that was about all.I should mention that the best moment in the film is when the whinny spoiled brat of a blond bimbo gets offed. Why do films like this always have to put a character in that needs to get offed? Do movie makers really think that the movie going audience is that stupid.My advice is to avoid this film at all costs. However, if you want some good laughs and groans, pop it into the DVD player and wonder "what the hell were these people thinking?"
