Hatched

Bad plot, bad acting, bad, bad,bad!

And it you have a smart tv it gets worse because everything looks so real time that you can see the horrible visuals.

The movie is slow and I've never seen anyone take so long to realize that a dinosaur is literally next to them. How can you NOT know that a T-Rex is close? Really?

There are serious amounts of cliches and it's just the cheesiest thing I've seen in a long while.

I take it that this was merely an exercise to give practice to new actors, new directors, cinematographers, CGI, et cetera. That's the only explanation I can give.

Well, I will admit that I wasn't really expecting much from the 2021 movie "Hatched" when I sat down to watch it. Sure, I liked the movie's cover/poster, but it definitely had that 'oh, it's going to be one of those horrible CGI movies' feel to it. But still, I opted to watch it.

And I will say that the movie wasn't actually as bad as I had initially feared it to be. Sure, this wasn't by no means a milestone in cinematic history, but it was better than I had anticipated it.

Granted, the storyline told in the movie made little or no sense at all, and there were just so many plot holes throughout the course of the movie. Not to mention the stupidity of the actions performed by the characters in the movie. So yeah, in terms of a proper script and plot, then "Hatched" was a less than mediocre movie.

Visually then I found "Hatched" to actually be a surprise. The movie definitely had much nicer CGI renderings of the dinosaurs than I had thought it would have. But the CGI could only do so much for a movie that lacked a proper script and storyline.

The acting in the movie was a bit of a mixed bag of nuts so to speak. Some of the performers actually put on adequate performances with whatever little they had to work with, while others put on lukewarm or amateurish performances.

Directors Scott Jeffrey and Rebecca Matthews just didn't really manage to come up with an overwhelmingly interesting movie here. It felt like a "Jurassic Park" movie on a very, very tight budget. But hey, at least it wasn't as bad as the dinosaur movies that is churned out by The Asylum.

Ultimately then "Hatched" is a semi-watchable movie, albeit not an overly interesting or entertaining one. I am rating it a less than mediocre four out of ten stars. This is, however, not a movie that I will be returning to watch for a second time, nor is it one that I will run out and encourage people to rush in to watch.

Absolutely rubbish, I quit mid way cause of worst CGI and worst acting.

Hatched was a pretty good British dinosaur flick. It was suspenseful enough and had a decent back story. Maybe the premise is a little farfetched to believe that a single individual was able to accomplish what a myriads of scientists could not. In comparison with the Jurassic Park franchise, this had much more superficial explanation for what transpired. It is curious that these actors were cast since I didn't find the teenagers particularly interesting, and I find it hard to believe that any law enforcement person would have the authority to do what he threatened and eventually carried out. Still, there was quite a bit of suspense and the movie proves you don't need a whole lot of dinosaurs to reign terror in a relative small space.
