As soon as I saw the words "The Asylum" on the screen as the movie started, I immediately thought to myself "oh no". Why? Well, because The Asylum has a track record of making really, really bad low budget movies. But still, every now and again The Asylum does manage to put out a movie that is actually adequate and not all that bad.
So I gave "Triassic Hunt" a chance.
While the movie proved to be watchable, it was hardly an outstanding movie. The storyline was just bland and so much in it was just making little or no sense. But hey, a movie with dinosaurs is hardly top notch of creativity, right?
The acting in "Triassic Hunt" was as to be expected for a movie such as this, so you're not going to be in for a grand spectacular performance of high arts. I am not saying that the actors and actresses were bad at their craft, but they put on mediocre performances at best, as if they themselves didn't really believe in the movie's script and premise.
What does work for "Triassic Hunt" was actually the special effects. Indeed, this movie didn't have as bad CGI as I had expected from a movie from The Asylum. In fact, the special effects and CGI were actually quite good for a movie from The Asylum, so that counted well in favor of the movie.
But a bland script and storyline just weren't cutting it in terms of providing a wholeheartedly entertaining movie. Sure, "Triassic Hunt" was watchable, but it was a movie that came and went without much of a dent, nor is it one that I will be watching again.
My rating of "Triassic Hunt" is a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
