100 Million BC

I was expecting a big, over-the-top action movie, and boy was I disappointed. This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen. At first I thought, OK, the writing is kinda bad. And then, OK, the acting is actually pretty horrible as well. And then there was the cinematography. Some of the shots are so ridiculous and posed, that I found myself laughing at the stupidity.

As the plot progressed, I found myself questioning whether or not this was a serious movie, or some kind of spoof. Everything about it was just so bad. But if it was a spoof, then the humor was completely missing.

No, it turned out that this was an actual attempt at a sci-fi action flick. Do not waste your time with this movie.

Quite possibly the worst movie I've seen in 45 years of watching movies. It's not even so bad that it crosses the line into humour.

Just plain pathetic. On every level. The only redeeming factor is that the worst actor in it gets eaten early on (by something masquerading as a dinosaur that is a disturbing cross between CGI written in DOS and a sock puppet). However, exactly who the worst actor is might have you guessing for a goodly portion of the "movie". Trust me, you do not want to waste 90 minutes of your life trying to figure out which one of the cast is stinking up the screen more.

The FX are not so much "special" as "papier-mâché". The camera work is distinctly amateurish and the plot, such as it is, has at least one WWII personnel carrier driven right through it. Really, yes it does!

Avoid at all costs.

...and the unintentional comedy.

I watched 100 Million BC because I had nothing better to do so I thought I could give this dinosaur film a try, and the story seemed fairly intriguing, although unoriginal. Since it's a TV movie, my expectations were pretty low to begin with. Turns out the film was even worse than expected.

The CGI was appalling but that's fairly understandable for a low budget production. What really got me was the poor acting, and the terrible, terrible editing and sound. The directing was so bad that I think even I could have done a better job although I have no training in movie making. Also, my advice to the actors is to find another profession. How can they possibly be that bad? If the cast was random people picked up in the street, statistically they couldn't have been this poor. 100 Million BC was probably filmed in a few days and grossly sold off to cable channels that needed fillers.

I'm still giving it a 2/10 because the beginning of the film was mildly intriguing, and because Marie Westbrook (yes, I actually looked her up) is a treat for the eyes, the only one in the entire movie by the way.

A gathering of old-timers, including Michael Gross, Chris Atkins and Greg Evigan, is the only reason I can think of for watching this badly made science fiction video. A group of soldiers led by a scientist is led back in time to rescue a group of scientists that was sent back to the same time period in the 1940s, via the Philadelphia Experiment (where's Michael Pare when we need him?). They get chased and some of them are eaten by dinosaurs, and the survivors end up inadvertently bringing along a large carnivore on their return. Much of the film is dark and hard to make out, and the carnivore loose in the big city is almost impossible to follow. The whole thing seems endless. Bad bad bad.

For a 21st century film, you gotta applause to how awful appalling the effects were. The dinosaurs were in bloody 2D god dammit! Not even sculptures were made to add some form of modern looks to these creatures but looked like a simple animation which was done using anim8or. This is by far the worst film I have seen in a long time. Not to forget the acting. No sympathy was shown when the soilders saw one of their men get taken away by these "reptiles", no thought was gone into safety of the soldiers when they were in a contested zone. This film was clearly done by a run-down production team and I really recommend you all not to waste a single penny or time for this film.

Hope this helped =) My Rating: 1/10
