Triassic Attack

I'll give some credit where it's due. I did think the locations did look beautiful and there is one good character, Wyatt, played with quirky enthusiasm by Gabriel Womack. However, while SyFy have done far worse than this(just look at Camel Spiders, Quantum Apocalypse, Titanic II and Alien vs. Hunter for examples) Triassic Attack is pretty lame. The skeleton dinosaurs' designs are a step above designs with dinosaurs in flesh and blood, but they still look substandard. The audio is overbearing at times and sometimes overshadows the dialogue. Nothing exciting musically either. The script apart from Wyatt's amusing quips is generally weak and unimaginative, and the story feels leaden and the usual suspend disbelief moments with a lack of thrills and suspense. Wyatt aside, the characters are clichéd and dull, and the acting more often than not look very stiff here. The direction is somewhat efficient, but ultimately joyless. Overall, not the worst I've seen from SyFy, but apart from the scenery, one good character and Womack, there was little good, in my opinion that is. 3/10 Bethany Cox

I mean I don't know what people are expecting. It's not like you have to pay to watch this or something. There's a lot worse sci-fi movies on the sci-fi channel and elsewhere and this really isn't that terrible. I mean it's a zombie dino movie. And yeah the young woman playing the university professor is far too hot and it's got Amelia Clark in it as the daughter of the professor and the sheriff who are of course having marital issues and all but divorced, a typical sort of backplot. I don't know if I've ever seen a movie involving a homicidal dinosaur skeletons conjured up accidentally by an American Indian. But hey all in all, it's not much more improbable than bringing them back to life with DNA preserved in mosquitoes covered with amber. The acting is fair and once you get over the premise the story holds together and if predictable it's still a bit of fun!

I admit, the only reason I wanted to see this flick is the fact that Emilia Clarke is in it. This was her first full feature and made just before her stardom via Game Of Thrones. It's a SyFy flick and have seen a lot of them I knew what to expect.

This one is a bit goofy because by accident dinosaurs are brought back to life. It shouldn't be SyFy if they added something silly, the dinosaurs are only skeletons. The skeletons do break out of course and are attacking a town.

So it's naturally CGI to create the Dino's. To be honest for a SyFy flick it was rather above my expectations. And attacking they do but in a rather stupid way, they eat , the T-Rex for example, but existing only of bones the bodies fall out of his mouth. And at a beach after an attack the beach is full of separated body parts but it all looks funny and not believable.

Mediocre flick, goofy in many ways. Luckily Emilia has chosen dragons in stead of Dino's.

The amount of enjoyment I received watching this I realized was based on how I looked at it. When it started and I was thinking "Jurassic Park", the reality of how well the directors and cast stretched what seemed a very tight budget. Fair play to them for making a derivative and formulaic script somewhat watchable.

When I started thinking of it as a "Sharknado" but with dinosaurs instead of sharks, things came more into focus. The at times over-the-top acting, low budget special effects, and ponderous music, became part of the show.

Common sense rarely exists in this kind of movie. But that is part of the fun. If you enjoy campy pseudo-horror movies, then this is worth a gander.

I saw this movie years ago. Typical SYFY movie.... Right. Then I saw it again recently, and noticed Emilia Clarke. I figured this must be early in her career. Because I can't see Mother of Dragons doing this movie. Then I started doing a bit of research. Most of the cast is British or Scottish. Only two of the actors are American. And it was filmed in Bulgaria. We Americans can't make low budget bad scifi movies anymore? Where is our pride. "YES WE CAN!!!!" Let's bring back bad low budget scifi movies back to the old U. S. of A. The sad part, this isn't the worse example of fake Non-American bad low budget American scifi movie I've seen. I can't recall the name of the movie. But get this. The whole movie takes place in a English High School. EVERYTHING... literally everything is English. The school, the uniforms, etc. Except for 2 little things. The accent, and the attitude of the movie. It was a bad low budget movie. Having the cast and the theme stereotypical American bad movie, was suppose to save it???
