When I stumbled upon the 2024 movie "DinoGator", of course I had to watch it. Yeah, I have to admit that I do enjoy such movies, as they are usually great fun and a brainless way to just lean back and watch the movie. "DinoGator" was exactly one such movie. Sure, I wasn't harboring much of any grand expectations to the movie, to be honest.
The script and storyline in "DinoGator" was pretty straight forward, although rather generic and formulaic for a killer creature feature.
Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with Michael Madsen and Paul Logan, and they don't exactly spell stellar top notch movies do they? The acting performances in the movie were actually fair, taking into consideration the contents of the script and the God awful dialogue they had to work with. Well, except for actor Bryan Clark playing Wyatt, as he was stripped of acting talent entirely. And the ladies in the swamp punk band 'Swamp Vixens From Uranus' never played a single cord on an instrument in their entire lives, it was so painfully clear to see from the way they held and handled the instruments. The character gallery in the movie was pretty terrible though.
The dialogue in the movie was pretty awful and sounded like it was written by a teenager just starting out in film class.
The CGI cave in the very beginning of the movie was so fake, and pretty much set the standard for the movie, heralding a movie of poor CGI. And while the design of the creature certainly was interesting, then the CGI did it little justice. The CGI in the movie left for much to be desired, though there were moments when the CGI animated creature actually looked fair.
"DinoGator" is a terrible movie, no doubt about it. Yet it was so cheesy and bad that I actually endured through the entire ordeal. Not that I will ever return to it a second time, mind you.
My rating of director Jim Wynorski's 2024 movie "DinoGator" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
