Very Cool!!!

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Three people are running away from an unseen horror. They reach a water tower. Inside, the sheriff insists a man and a woman climb to relative safety, then he opens the water tower door. Look Out! …an animated dinosaur skeleton is revealed as the monster in pursuit… We then flashback "24 hours earlier," to discover what led us here… Three skeletal dinosaurs became "animated" during an incident in an Indian (Native American) Museum. Taking responsibility for the dinosaurs is Native American rights activist Raoul Trujillo (as Dakota), who has a tantrum in the Oregon museum. However, the real bad guys are greedy land developers who want to desecrate ancient Indian land. Perhaps the dinosaurs are mad because Indians took the land from them. No, that doesn't made sense – but neither does this movie...Director Colin Ferguson's bickering co-stars are Steven Brand (as Jake Roundtree) and Kirsty Mitchell (as Emma Neil). With any luck, they will rediscover their love before the closing credits, and make rebellious daughter Emilia Clarke (as Savannah) happy enough to do an Indian rain dance. Running with the duo during the opening minutes, resourceful Gabriel Womack (as Wyatt) is the most useful member of the cast. The worst part of the horror is when Mr. Brand takes two young recruits from the local college to shoot a dinosaur with very big guns. Brand should have known what was going to happen the first time one of the dinosaur skeletons disassembled, but he stands there with a dumb look on his face instead of telling the two young guys to run inside… like, as fast as possible. Then, everyone forgets them.*** Triassic Attack (11/27/10) Colin Ferguson ~ Steven Brand, Kirsty Mitchell, Raoul Trujillo, Gabriel Womack

I'll give some credit where it's due. I did think the locations did look beautiful and there is one good character, Wyatt, played with quirky enthusiasm by Gabriel Womack. However, while SyFy have done far worse than this(just look at Camel Spiders, Quantum Apocalypse, Titanic II and Alien vs. Hunter for examples) Triassic Attack is pretty lame. The skeleton dinosaurs' designs are a step above designs with dinosaurs in flesh and blood, but they still look substandard. The audio is overbearing at times and sometimes overshadows the dialogue. Nothing exciting musically either. The script apart from Wyatt's amusing quips is generally weak and unimaginative, and the story feels leaden and the usual suspend disbelief moments with a lack of thrills and suspense. Wyatt aside, the characters are clichéd and dull, and the acting more often than not look very stiff here. The direction is somewhat efficient, but ultimately joyless. Overall, not the worst I've seen from SyFy, but apart from the scenery, one good character and Womack, there was little good, in my opinion that is. 3/10 Bethany Cox

One test for a good show of any type is a simple question: did you care about the characters? I cared about the sheriff (who reminded me a bit of the sheriff in "Eureka"), about his estranged wife and about his daughter. Three likable actors portrayed the parts and I thought did good solid work. I objected for a moment at the skeletons breathing and bellowing without lungs but they were animated by *magic* after all. This is not a National Geographics special; it is a daft little fantasy. With good supporting actors, a couple of imaginative twists and a minimum of gore "Triassic Attack" became a fine little movie. Low expectations and being ill may have had something to do with it but I thoroughly enjoyed the time I "wasted" on this. I am confused about the title: none of the bony critters looked to be from the Triassic to me!

Could more effort be put forth in the composition? Sure. Could we have a lower budget film with 3D effects that had lighting more like the environment? Sure. I think some of the audio/soundtrack deterred me a bit during the dialog.But even with this I still had fun with this film. It had some funny moments that kept me in it but I think what got me the most was the sense of peril that was genuinely lacking at most times. I would like to see more good quality sci-fi native American lore based films.Please don't give up. This movie had good bones.. but where's the beef!
