I watched most of this movie while exercising on a stationary bike, so my time wasn’t wasted. I quickly realized that for some reason I was starting ten minutes into it, but it didn’t seem to matter. Judging from other reviews, they didn’t spend enough money on the dinosaur effects, but personally I would have liked to see them spend more on the script. The dinosaurs hunted, howled, bit and swallowed and that was good enough for me. But I got several smiles out of the cast running from the creatures and not closing the heavy doors behind them. I mean, never. Apparently some of the people were selected for the compound because of special skills or occupations, while a few of the ladies were picked for how they looked in low-cut blouses, I assume. And if they are low enough on food and medical supplies so that they have to leave the compound to stock up, they could take comfort from the fact that they still had a ready supply of mascara and other makeup. (My wife pointed out that they obviously didn’t get out much so of course they would still have plenty!) I guess they didn’t want to copy Jurassic Park by jeopardizing children, so they opted for an unborn baby instead. I can’t say I was drawn to like any of the characters, which had the advantage of making me less concerned about who ultimately survived. Okay, it isn’t a great movie, but it does try, bless it.
