Jurassic Hunt

In Jurassic Park likable humans in peril drove the plot. In this movie despicable sub-humans in peril drove unintended laughs. I missed the beginning so don't know if this was an Asylum production, but it had all the hallmarks of that august institution: non-actor actors, pointless dialog, plot with more holes than substance, lousy production values, and special effects that are neither special or effects.

Ten stars for doing away with the appalling human beings that infest this hunt. Minus eight stars because a few don't receive their deserved horrible deaths.

Two stars.

This movie looks like a well produced TV show, the CGI is on par with the video games some twenty years ago. And the actors are those you usually see in Oscar, yeah, those hired to clap hands.

How can a kid on YouTube produce better CG effects than an actual movie? This thing was well shot, for straight to video, but the writing and directing are sloppy at best. Having a character respond to a remote and pristine natural location by saying "what a dump" shows a lack of awareness, as does having a character fully illuminated by Moonlight even though it's clearly visible directly behind him. I realize you can't always use squibs, both for safety and when shooting in natural environments to avoid damage, but surely CG bullet hits can be more than a perfectly symmetrical cloud of red floating in front of a character when they are riddled with gunfire.

The dinos were well modeled and animated, but little or no color correction was done to blend them into the live-action environments.

Frankly the CG dinos were better realized than most of the Human characters, who often not only acted foolishly but inconsistently to drive the next poorly planned plot element.

Nothing else. Just girls and dinosaurs.

It says my review is too short, so I'm just going to add some words here.

Sure, as I sat down to watch this movie titled "Jurassic Hunt", I must admit that I had no expectations or real hopes of this being a great movie. I mean, 99 out of 100 of these dinosaur movies are just sheer rubbish. But still, on the odd chance that "Jurassic Hunt" might be worth watching, I opted to sit down and watch it.

But as the voice at the back of my head was warning be prior to watching "Jurassic Hunt", I should just have skipped on this one. Yeah, it was one of those run-of-the-mill dinosaur movies that have only the slightest of resemblance to a proper storyline, shoddy acting and terrible CGI effects.

So yeah, "Jurassic Hunt" effectively collects everything bad about the dinosaur movies and puts it on display for you to enjoy, if you are into these types of low budget, poor production dinosaur movies that come a dime a dozen.

The storyline told in "Jurassic Hunt" was as generic as it comes, even for a dinosaur movie. A group of big game hunters have paid money to go out on a hunting expedition to hunt, wait for it... dinosaur. Yup, that was the thing that the writer went with here. And better it, it was what director Hank Braxtan decided to spend his time on directing.

The CGI effects in "Jurassic Hunt" were a mixed bag of nuts. Mostly spoiled and bad nuts though. Yeah, most of the scenes throughout the movie had questionable and laughable CGI effects at best. But there were the occasional scene where the dinosaurs actually looked good and real enough.

"Jurassic Hunt" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us did so you don't have to.

My rating of the 2021 movie "Jurassic Hunt" lands on a very generous two out of ten stars.
