Les Dents de sabre

There's not a whole lot to be said about 'Attack of the Sabretooth.' The most basic plot synopsis immediately informs that it wants to cash in on the popularity of 'Jurassic Park.' Unlikely wildlife attractions at a theme park get loose and attack characters that have names of one sort or another, and who are present at the park for one reason or another. This particular rendition of the narrative concept gives us no motive to learn about or try to remember who these characters are, so we don't.

Do the titular sabretooth tigers look convincing? Not really. You could do worse. But then, their appearance seems so half-hearted, so jarringly distinct from the scenery around them, that one has to imagine that the animators were instructed to do the bare minimum. So, job well done, I guess.

The most notable and memorable thing about the movie is the final death scene. Just as the climax of 'Jurassic Park' takes place in its visitor center, seeing the ruin of the skeletons on display, so is 'Attack of the Sabretooth' capped off with the chief building's kingly decor tumbling down. Except in this case, the scene has the appearance of having been animated on a Nintendo 64, as it wouldn't look out of place in a Super Mario game on that system.

'Attack of the sabretooth' is what happens when a film is green-lighted with no budget. The actors don't seem to be trying a great deal; I'm reminded of my own award-worthy performance in a short that some friends and I made in college. The animators and everyone else involved in the production clearly did their job, as directed, with what they had to work with. And that's a wrap.

None of this is to say that 'Attack of the sabretooth' isn't entertaining, as long as you know exactly what you're getting into. But one view will be more than enough for even the most excitable fan of B-movies.

The film starts with a manager (Nicholas Bell) giving welcome investors (Robert Carradine) to Primal Park . A secret project mutating a primal animal using fossilized DNA, like ¨Jurassik Park¨, and some scientists resurrect one of nature's most fearsome predators, the Sabretooth tiger or Smilodon . Scientific ambition turns deadly, however, and when the high voltage fence is opened the creature escape and begins savagely stalking its prey - the human visitors , tourists and scientific.Meanwhile some youngsters enter in the restricted area of the security center and are attacked by a pack of large pre-historical animals which are deadlier and bigger . In addition , a security agent (Stacy Haiduk) and her mate (Brian Wimmer) fight hardly against the carnivorous Smilodons. The Sabretooths, themselves , of course, are the real star stars and they are astounding terrifyingly though not convincing. The giant animals savagely are stalking its prey and the group run afoul and fight against one nature's most fearsome predators. Furthermore a third Sabretooth more dangerous and slow stalks its victims.

The movie delivers the goods with lots of blood and gore as beheading, hair-raising chills,full of scares when the Sabretooths appear with mediocre special effects.The story provides exciting and stirring entertainment but it results to be quite boring .The giant animals are majority made by computer generator and seem totally lousy .Middling performances though the players reacting appropriately to becoming food.Actors give vigorously physical performances dodging the beasts ,running,bound and leaps or dangling over walls . And it packs a ridiculous final deadly scene. No for small kids by realistic,gory and violent attack scenes . Other films about Sabretooths or Smilodon are the following : ¨Sabretooth(2002)¨by James R Hickox with Vanessa Angel, David Keith and John Rhys Davies and the much better ¨10.000 BC(2006)¨ by Roland Emmerich with with Steven Strait, Cliff Curtis and Camilla Belle. This motion picture filled with bloody moments is badly directed by George Miller and with no originality because takes too many elements from previous films. Miller is an Australian director usually working for television (Tidal wave, Journey to the center of the earth, and many others) and occasionally for cinema ( The man from Snowy river, Zeus and Roxanne,Robinson Crusoe ). Rating : Below average, bottom of barrel.

i don't think that this movie is quite as bad as most of the people say on here, yeah the acting ain't the greatest, and the plot is stretched to say the least, but what do you honestly expect when you rip off Jurassic Park .. come on people.. this time it's the dreaded Sabre Tooth Tiger there are 3 total in the movie,, and one is just plain ugly and deformed, the kids in this movie are on a scavenger hunt, and disable the security system, leaving pandora's box wide open for the large feline species to get out of their habitat. I really had a laugh when the first guy messed up and chased his piece of porno mag into the secured gate area, upon trying to fetch it he winds up as the main course for one of the cats, overall i wish people wouldn't bash this , it wasn't intended to be a blockbuster,, it was on sci-fi late at night . so folks what does that tell you..

After a series of power-outages on a remote island zoo, genetically engineered sabertooth tigers are on the loose and mauling residents of the island. Man, the sci-fi channel has made some bad "original" movies, but I think this might possibly be their worst so far! This badly written and directed "Jurassic Park" rip-off offers all the usual clichés (mad scientists who thinks people killed by the monsters are "expendable losses", characters walking down long dark hallways alone, brain-dead teen characters who's only function in the film is to die a horrible death, etc.), and, unsurprisingly, no suspense whatsoever. The special effects are atrocious—the puppet heads in close-ups of the title beasties are bad enough, looking like stiff plush dolls, but the CGI—which makes the computer-generated dinosaurs in "Walking with Dinosaurs" look life-like by comparison—are just downright awful. There's some gore, but most of it looks pretty unconvincing. Oh, and the death scene of the scientist at the end is truly one of the worst things I've seen in years. I couldn't even laugh it was so bad!

Don't waste your time, this one is just downright bad.

2/10.

Oh, and here's some interesting trivia for you—this film borrowed music cues from the 2003 sci-fi film "Alien Hunter", which was far superior to this piece of crap.

Where to begin? the special effects should be named special defects, When the director shouted "action" I guess he also indicated to the actors to carry out the worst performance they could think of. Maybe he was annoyed with the producers and wanted to make sure that they would not recover a single cent out of their investment and that the work would be a case study of how not to make movie. Or maybe he hated art school and wanted to be an accountant but his family did not let him.

The only thing that is sure that whoever employs him in the future is because its in love with him (so its objectivity jumped through the window) or because he changed its name and deleted all past previous references.
