Watchable

A group of whiny thirty-something college students go in search of one their dads who went missing on a heavily fortified ranch, probably to escape from his whiny daughter and her whiny friends. During the course of the investigation they whine their way onto the ranch and come whiny face to beak with the titular large birds.

Watchable, but just barely. Take away the incessant whining and you would have a decent 1950's large animal movie worth six stars. But with all the whining, four stars is generous.

"All it takes is one bad egg."

Two outsized birds escape captivity and cause CGI havoc amongst a cast who appear to be having a great time. Such ebullience is addictive, and if you're in the mood, this is pretty good fun, on a strictly Scooby-Doo level.

Dumb adults and funny, smart-arse cute teens (of whom, my favourite might well be constantly sniping Taylor - Lindsey Sporrer - the silliest of all) hog too much of the running time when what we really want to see is some decently rendered birds pecking some poor blighter to death. This being a fairly family 'friendly' ScyFy project, there are no profanities and nothing too shocking.

My score is 6 out of 10.

About the movie, not about water

This movie happens in Texas. Its about interpersonal relationships between adults. Also its about prehistoric animals, terror birds specifically, and maybe they got interpersonal relationships as well, birds are more intelligent than we give them credit. Now this point is not really relevant to the movie, I'm just throwing it in here to fill up space but also it's just interesting- all the water in the world is the same water that's ever been here, it's the same water all through out time, like its eternal, changing form constantly but never departing from the earth. Okay, back to the movie- some of the characters in the course of the movie are slain by the terror birds. If our bodies are mostly made of water, even after our bodies have gone, the water that made up our bodies will remain.

Typical scifi

Very cheesy, with a fair amount of Gore. If that's what you're looking for this is for you. Personally sorry to see Greg Evigan Reduced to having to do this kind of thing for a paycheck. But it's a gig right ?

Wow. It's BJ McKay And His Best Friend CGI Bird.

And some horrific CGI Birds they are. The CGI is just terrible. But at least it's better than Peter Jackson's flapping at the air King Kong CGI. A silly story here about 2 killer ostriches that go on the rampage in BJ McKays bird sanctuary. I made it to the end, barely. What a lamer. But it avoids the 2 thanks to the security guy who ALMOST made it to the end. 3/10.
