Cowboys vs Dinosaurs 2015 5 out of 10
The Plot: An explosion at a mine releases some Dinosaurs that have been apparently living underground. The people of the small town must fight to survive. Well that pretty much sums it up. Throw in an unimportant sub-story about a bull rider that was tossed by a bull which lead to him leaving town years ago returning and you have Cowboys vs Dinosaurs. I guess the stupid back story was there just to foreshadow the cheesy scene at the end where he has to ride a Triceratops in a battle against a T -Rex (I guess those rodeo skills came in handy). Of course the movie featured the greedy businessman that owned owns the mind trying to hide the fact that Dinosaurs are killing people... After all he needs the mine up and running again.
The Acting: The acting was pretty much what you would expect from a cheesy film like this. Eric Roberts is in this film just so that it can have a name you have heard of. All his character does is throw up and act drunk in a jail cell. The main Cowboy that came back to town was totally dull. His ex girlfriend and her friend are just on screen to look cute in cut off jeans while firing machine guns at CGI raptors. Of course the movie has the typical girls in bikinis getting attacked by the creatures (even though this movie takes place in the mountains and the lake must be freezing).
The Effects: The raptors looked like something out of a video game. Most of the kill scenes with the raptors were just covered in nacho cheese.There were a few decent shots of a T-Rex running though the town. Watch the trailer and you will know exactly what to expect.
In the final analysis: You pretty much know what you are getting into with this film the second you see poster or the trailer. If you enjoy low budget cheesy horror--it could be up your alley. I was looking for so bad it is good and it unfortunately just dull....and I felt like I've seen the same exact movie half a dozen times before with different creatures. It was decent cheesiness.
The trailer makes this movie look a lot more exciting than it actually was.
