Age of the Dinosaurs 2013 7 out 10
First off Love the poster for this flick.
Asylum films may be turning a corner. Seeing the words Asylum films meant that most likely it was going to be one of the worst movies ever made for awhile there (Almighty Thor anyone). They have many films in their filmography to prove this point, but they may be turning the corner now since the last few Asylum films I've seen have either been SO Bad they are Good (like Sharknado) or fairly decent like Age of the Dinosaurs. Age of the Dinosaurs even stars name actors that have previously been in much bigger productions Treat Williams and Ronny Cox (Total Recall, Robocop). It follows the story of a biotech company called Geneti-Sharp that using breakthrough flesh regeneration technology has been able to cure burn victims and give people that can't walk the ability to do so again. Unforunately the companies director didn't learn anything from the mistakes another tech company called Ingen made and he decides to also bring Dinosaurs back to life. Bad idea! as we all know from reading about what happened at Jurassic Park. Bringing Dinosaurs back to life as attractions works about as well as as having robots like in Westworld. Won't this tech companies ever learn? Treat Williams character (a fireman) has to keep his daughter that he took to this demonstration safe throughout the movie that borrows heavily from the Jurassic films.
The movie has its ups and downs in both story and effects, but does a pretty good job of being a Jurassic Park rip-off and has a few interesting Dinosaur scenes like a CGI Dino running through a fairly empty mall (extras cost money you know). There is a surprising amount of Dino footage actually in the film which I applaud the film for attempting. I really liked the setup for the show in which they introduce the Dinos that may soon be available even to come to your birthday parties (Delusional much). The film is flawed and yet still actually pretty decent. It just makes me want to see the next installment of Jurassic Park. If they can achieve this level in this low budget rip-off....I can only imagine what the next Jurassic Park film will be like.
