Dinosaurs! War action! Carnage! Sci-fi! You got them all with this movie. Not your typical dino flick. The film producers and director have done justice to dinosaur terror!
Pretty neat VFX for a low budget independent movie making a strong statement in the world of big league franchise movies.
Kudos to Luke Sparke for pulling this off! Watch if for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
Can't wait for the sequel!

Great script and really good performances from a likeable and authentic cast. Fun and thrilling I was greatly invested in the characters. The dinosaurs were plentiful and were scary as well as touching. Of course it's a low budget foreign film so it's not going to have a Universal budget but the dinosaurs still looked great. I would say I enjoyed it way more than some of the last couple of dinosaur movies to come out not naming any names because they still had good things about them. Also don't worry this is leaps and bounds better than any original streaming movie or straight to video offering.
Let me preface this with my husband loves Jurassic Park so when I saw the preview for Primitive War I knew we were going to go. After being letdown by Jurassic Park Rebirth I was apprehensive about taking him to Primitive War, especially since we were driving an hour to the nearest theater that had it. All I can say is WOW I'm glad we did. This movie with, what I assume, is a much smaller budget than any of the big studios, impressed me so much I looked at my husband and said we are buying that one. The beginning of the movie sets the suspense right from the start and it just keeps coming. Is the acting 9/10 no. Is the CGI 9/10 not always. Does it all come together and is better than I expected? Absolutely. Go see it!
The dinosaur action was amazing and obviously there's some parts that could look better but that's it if you're really nit picking. If you're a fan of dinosaurs and want a mature tone for your dinosaur media than this is right up your alley, it's not a field trip in the jungle it's a fight for survival and seeing that in a serious tone with consequences was great to see on the big screen. As Luke Sparke said on InGeneral: The Jurassic Outpost Podcast, he said he loves randomness with his dinosaurs and them just being animals and you get a lot of that in this movie. From grazing, to hunting (some were on demon mode), to sleeping they captured the dinosaurs in a great way (while showing off how dangerous and deadly they are).
The Marines and their story took me by surprise with how good it was and how they got a story and honestly the struggles of war and PTSD and just mental health was captured really well and something that caught me off guard. The characters were good and did their job only some were a tad questionable but it's not that bad. The dialogue was good and I was surprised with how funny it was? I guess because it is a war movie set in Vietnam you can use colourful language and they didn't shy away from it and it really sets the tone.
The gore was INTENSE and I'm definitely not use to seeing that in a Dinosaur movie and it was a nice change showing how dangerous a dinosaur is and so much death, I honestly lost count in the first 15 mins there was so much and it was fun a fun WILD ride. For an independent film, the scale is amazing I honestly can't get over how great it was and you can just tell how much passion is in this movie, Luke Sparke is like us A HUGE dinosaur fan that achieved his dream and made his dinosaur movie, I genuinely think you should check it out if you love Dinosaurs and as a Jurassic Park/World fan we need competition and competition breeds greatness, we need more dinosaur media in general and this is the right way forward as a Dinosaur fan. So enough of me yappin and go check out Primitive War.

So stop reading and just go, if you were wondering about this stop and go.
Yes dinosaurs and Vietnam Apocalypse now with aliens (dinosaurs) Loved it even the cheesy dialogue could take the smile of my face.it anything it made like it more.
A routine mission for this jaguar yes jaguar team go deep into enemy territory to find the answers to a lost team and like predator or alien you are in for a treat. This is full tilt epic B awesome madness.
It just get better and crazier the longer it runs.
Its like a modern the land that time forgot a movie I loved and saw in the cinemas back as a kid.
The cast was all good and considering the dialogue they had to say lol.and the soundtrack was perfect but the biggest surprise was how fanatic the dinosaurs looked so impressed with that alone.
Yes there are any faults along the way but that does not change my opinion and my rating for when it was on point it was gold.
I know not many will see it on the big screen but that a ashame because it's worth the money and time. Not because it's the best movie out because it's just a great escape from the real world.
This is cult movie stuff and also stay for the credits.
