Terrordactyl

Terrordactyl (2016) is an action comedy horror film released in 2016 that tells the story of two friends who searched for a meteor and found that the meteor is an egg from a prehistoric reptile. They come from outer space and attack the city of Los Angeles. Chaos occurs where the two men are trying to stop the chaos .. The movie is so ridiculous .. Petrosaur from space ??? Strange storyline, horrible CGI, but this movie is quite entertaining with all the silliness and oddity. Petrosaurs from the sky .. Is there a dinosaur there ??? Another giant creature ??? Or King Kong ...

Cheesy but entertaining, I've seen a lot worse low budget movies. But if you have some time to kill this movie definitely fits the bill.

Hilarious premise, overall funny movie. The acting isn't great, but you can largely blame the script for that. Lots of gags don't land, the CGI is questionable, I'm not even going to go into the science, or the concept that only one character had ever heard of a pterodactyl, or knew that a meteor wiped out the dinosaurs. So why is this film so hilarious? I have no idea. Objectively it should be awful but now all I want to do is watch it again.

Stumbling upon the 2016 movie "Terrordactyl", I had to sit down and watch it. The concept of the movie seemed like something that could be fun, and it also looked like one of those cheesy bad B movies.

Needless to say that I had never heard about "Terrordactyl" from writer Don Bitters III. But I will say that this movie was actually every bit as campy, cheesy and low budget as you would assume it to be - but in a good way. Yeah, this is one of those movies that are so bad that they are actually enjoyable to watch.

The storyline is pretty simplistic, if not actually a bit too simplistic. But it actually works well enough in favor of the movie, and it makes for a good, cheesy 95 minutes of fun watching.

The acting performances in "Terrordactyl" were actually okay. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble at all here, but they put on good enough performances to make the movie worthwhile watching.

And the special effects were actually not that bad. Sure, every now and again there was something toe-curling, but for the majority of the movie then I will say that the special effects were actually good. Not blockbuster Hollywood good, but surprisingly good for a movie of this caliber.

However, "Terrordactyl" is a movie that came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression. Sure, I can tick it off of my to-watch-list now, but I doubt I will ever return to it a second time.

My rating of directors Don Bitters III and Geoff Reisner's 2016 "Terrordactyl" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Two yard clearance men, a couple of hot chicks and a drunken veteran take on an invasion of terrordactyls from outer space in order to save LA (perhaps the military were on strike!). The characters are likeable and the film started off promising, however it slows down mid way through and the humour starts to get sillier (a la Sharknado). The creatures are very unconvincing, but perhaps that was intentional. Some fun to be had but also easily forgettable & not a film that I would watch again.
