Cowboys vs Dinosaurs

only if you really want to totally waste an hour and a half of your life watching poorly written, poorly acted crap. Dumbest thing I ever forced myself to sit through. It is an interesting idea, but deserved better work from writers, producers, casting and actors. The borrowed raptors from other films did their parts as one might expect, but the stage make-up of the deceased may have been done by a seven-year-old girl.

As far as these low budget sub SyFy films go, this one isn't too bad.

The CGI isn't great, I don't think Amblin/Legendary Entertainment will be losing sleep over this as competition for the Jurassic Park franchise; yet the film is good fun if not taken too seriously (and if you take a film called Cowboys vs Dinosaurs' seriously then you deserve a poke in the eye with a blunt stick. There are worse ways to pass an hour or so if you can tolerate the dreadful dialogue, ludicrous plot and acting. Most of the actresses seem to have come straight off the 'casting couch' as I seriously doubt they got in the film for their acting abilities.

I don't think there will be too many sequels thankfully.

Please dont put yourself through the pain. It is so terrifyingly bad

Don't you just hate it when underground mining results in the excavation of prehistoric reptiles? Well, that was essentially the essence of this movie.

When I sat down to watch the 2015 TV movie "Cowboys vs Dinosaurs", I actually thought it was movie with Western-era cowboys, and that actually sounded like a fun and campy cross-over for a movie. I didn't know it was modern age type of cowboys. Nevertheless, needless to say that I hadn't heard about the movie prior to stumbling upon it here in 2024. And I opted to watch it on account of it probably being a campy movie.

The storyline from writers Anthony Fankhauser and Rafael Jordan was every bit as stupid and laughable as you would expect from a movie with the title "Cowboys vs Dinosaurs". No surprise there.

The acting performances in the movie were wooden and cringeworthy to behold, but of course with a movie such as this, you know you are not in for an everning of Shakeperian theater. The only familiar faces on the screen, for me, were Eric Roberts and Vernon Wells, and they aren't exactly top of the line performers, now are they?

The CGI animated dinosaurs in the movie were wobbly, especially the awkward movement. And the scene with the dinosaurs jumping into the water, well that just had me toppled over laughing. It looked to atrocious. Actually, "Cowboys vs Dinosaurs" is worth watching for the bad CGI alone.

My rating of director Ari Novak's 2015 movie "Cowboys vs Dinosaurs" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Eric Roberts have been involved in so many of these B-movies this year alone and with title such as Cowboys vs Dinosaurs, you would know what to expect here. In that regard the movie delivers, it's a series of cheesy dialogues and terrible effects conveyed by entirely uncomfortable cast. This movie is for when you have exhausted every other movie option and at best might just find some comedy.

There are cowboys, and then they meet with dinosaurs. If that sounds rather uninformative, it's because narrative offers little explanation. In fact, most of the times the focus is geared towards attractive ladies that have little to no credible acting skill. To put it mildly, they are most likely recruited from adult entertainment industry.

One doesn't accidentally stumble on Cowboys vs Dinosaurs, you should know the inherent shady production, might just as well embrace it.
