Dinosaur Prison

First of all the, why would you break INTO a prison? Logically, it doesn't even make fictional credible sense and the head of the prison looks like a ringmaster at a 3 ring circus. A dinosaur prison just makes no sense. What have they done to deserve such a fate? Nothing. The women trying to break them out are. Idealistic but naive. You can't just open the doors and let them go. There will be a slaughter, both of humans and animals alike. But it is cruel of them to keep breeding them and keep them in captivity. I would have to rate this a one star film because I literally don't see any purpose to making it.

So the plot is some eco-activists break into a suspected animal testing site. This is the last point in the movie the plot makes sense. Eventually, we meet what I can only imagine would have been the love child between Willy Wonka and Ozzy Osborne, Jahn (think John Hammond). Jahn plays a character that doesn't make much sense in the movie. Oh, did I mention the Asian scientist (think BD Wong) and also enter the typical British no-neck tough guy who is "taking over." and the stereotype bad guy. Since Velociraptors, as portrayed in Jurassic Park, didn't actually exist, (No hate mail, please look it up), I think Steven Spielberg should have copyrighted his version of Velociraptors and saved us from all these crap clones... Oh year there is a merc with a sword that is somehow on fire, so yeah there is that. Everyone gets eaten and there and there is the only stereotypical survivor(s). Saved me from boredom one Sunday, and oh God help us all, the ending has a typical sequel hook... Ah, Amazon Prime we love you for the utter crap you provide us with to laugh at. Watch it knowing you will never get those hours of your life back.

Breaking into a secure facility, a group of animal rights activists thinking they're going to free a series of animals being experimented on instead finds the area crawling with live dinosaurs and must team up with a sympathetic doctor on staff to try to escape when the creatures get free.

This was a rather enjoyable cheesy creature feature. One of the finer aspects of this one is the seriousness with which it dives into the sheer lunacy of its setup. The main setup of the project to sneak into the facility thinking they're going to free animals in a clandestine series of testing procedures only to have it turned around into realizing everything is about keeping dinosaurs from getting loose is the perfect kind of workable cheesy concept at play here. The way it turns into this scenario early on, almost immediately featuring the group getting into the prison and then showing how wrong they are by going through an entire behind-the-scenes look at the way the facility has tried to cater to their needs so their entire existence is at the best it can be. That provides this one the chance to unleash a series of immensely over-the-top cheesy attacks and encounters. The first attack once they arrive at the prison where it takes out the fleeing team member is a good enough introduction while the main fun is to be found in the second half once they get free and overrun the facility. Taking out the swarms of guards in the different sections focus on the usual series of shock ambushes that are usually featured in these kinds of genre fare while also setting the stage for the big finale where the creatures are set loose to chase them around the prison, there's a lot of fun cheese-filled encounters present where the genetically-engineered bits of their anatomy allow for some high-energy scenarios that offer up a lot to like here. This one does come about some big issues. The main factor against it is the rather bizarre means through which the girls are brought into the background of the facility's inner workings which is done at the drop of a hat. Just as soon as the two are captured, they're taken away by the doctor and given intimate knowledge of the facility which flies in the face of how they're treated minutes later when they're taken captive once again under the guise of protecting their operations. Why this takes place in the first place is immensely questionable and just serves as an info dump that could've been handled in a different manner other than appearing as merely fodder to beef up the running time. As well as the level of cheese from the scenario and the effects featured here, these are the drawbacks of this one.
