The Jurassic Games

Take a mash-up of the basic concepts from THE CONDEMNED & STAY ALIVE, then add dinosaurs. That gives you the overall premise of THE JURASSIC GAMES. This one is of a much lower budget, so the cast is not well-known and the graphics are only passable because of the VR setting. The plot layout was entertaining and the acting quality is mediocre but not terrible. Enjoyable so long as you are not expecting a blockbuster.

It's not a bad movie, it's just far and away not as good as it might have been. You've got to blame the (sigh) writer/director for that although he did have a hand with the writing which is possibly why it's not as bad as it might have been.

First of all it's so derivative - the Jurassic Park series, of course, Running Man, Ender's Game, the Death Race series, and all the YA movies like Maze Runner and the Hunger Games. And loads more.

And, yes, it was made on a budget, hence the complain about the poor SFX although for a B movie they're not too bad. I was thinking they must have got a job lot of dinosaur graphics.

Anyway, taking all that into account, the story line isn't too bad as far as these things go - I can't believe one reviewer actually said it was original!! - go figure - and it's generally pacy enough to keep you watching, at least with one eye, although you know how it's going to end.

Maybe you've got to be in the right mood to watch something like this but it you are, give it a whirl.

When I saw the movie only had a 3.7 I was curious about how bad it would be. But I have to say, it's NOT that bad at all! Alright, the effects aren't great and do look cheap but the story is great and I wasn't bored for a second. Really, just give it a try.

Low budget, OK, not great special effects, nothing glaringly bad like most low budget rip off movies and not as bad as some reviewers have said, though they did lack a bit

This one had a pretty good plot, but suffered mostly from a low budget. It is a bit of a rip off of The Hunger Games with Jurassic Park thrown in. We get spoiled by the blockbusters and expect the same from every movie, this is not a blockbuster with a blockbuster budget.

Some of the acting was, while not terrible, a bit below par.

This is the type of movie you watch with a fun group of friends. Not a movie to be taken too seriously, as it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Not a movie I would recommend.

Daft bit gory and fun. Ok so it's not going to win any awards but it was entertaining and killed an hour or so. People are too critical these days just relax and enjoy the corn. Plus I love a T-rex or 3....
