I feel bad for them. You can tell how excited they were to make and share their movie. It was like watching a kid trying to hatch an egg, only to find out that that egg was actually from a grocery store, and had no chance of becoming a chick.
I was lowkey pretty exicted for this... I like them, I like adam driver, and I liked the trailers... really dissapointed that they went this direction. They wanted to shoot a classic film in an modern era. Should have just leaned into the modern take of a classic genre.
This is why you make a softball film as your first entry into the job of directing, and not jump head first into a multimillion dollar diaster. Had "A Quiet Place" not had John Krasinski promoting the hell out of it / making himself the face of the project, it would've been another "Bird Box" (e.g. forgettable). Tbh, I still forget those movies exist. They're fine enough, but let's not act like it was the writing that carried those films, and not the acting / promotion.
Enjoyed the movie but 1 of my main concerns i had came to be.. There needed to be a few more passengers survived to be canon fodder for the dinos could of been some great kills. I never truly felt the characters were ever truly in danger because u just knew they were gona make it out
@@gibsonmunyi7225 wouldnt even need to deviate to much from the OG plot. Just have a few more survivors and that's what makes the girls survival at the end more remarkable because she survived when others didn't and couldnt even communicate properly with them
Also agreed. More characters would have helped greatly with sense of danger and excitement. This was just reverse After Earth. Hollywood can't learn from one disaster needed one more😂
I think an alternate ending to this movie could have had the same bizarre twist like the famous ending of the movie "The Planet of the Apes". It goes as follows: Both characters actually don't make it out alive when the asteroid hits the earth and as a result are buried in the ash immediately on the spot. Flash forward 65 million years to modern day and there is a scene where coincidentally a team of paleontologists are performing an excavation in the same spot where the characters were buried. The camera first shows the puzzling facial expression of the paleontologist when he looks down where he was digging and then at that moment the camera pans over to show what he had just unearthed (human bones fossilized in the same rock beside the fossilized remains of a dinosaur). The end.
I thought this was a good movie but I have two criticisms. 1. I think it would’ve been better if we didn’t know we were on earth until the dino reveal. I hadn’t seen the trailer so I think that would’ve been excellent. 2. Also Adam Driver’s character and his family are too human. They use our measurements, curse words, etc.
I thought there were 2 main issues. 1-Having pretty much only 2 characters and having them not be able to communicate. I don’t think it went like they hoped. 2-Why did the movie spend so much time building suspense about a reveal EVERYONE knew about before even getting a ticket? I’ve seen 15-18 movies this year. This is the worst of them but it’s not terrible.
For me the 2 characters not being able to communicate was the only part of the story that worked. For the amount of research they did for this movie (or lack thereof), it should've just been about two people who crash land on a prehistoric alien planet, because the dinosaurs weren't real dinosaurs, the meteor impact was all wrong, and the human-looking aliens was a silly idea, especially if you're not going to go ahead and use the fringe theory that humans are actually aliens that were seeded on Earth long ago (which Prometheus did). I mean, they escape at the end and the moment they do it leaves you with the feeling of, "What was the point of this?"
The fact Adam Driver did this movie because his son loves dinosaurs, but also revealing his son doesn’t like movies and doesn’t want to see the movie 💀
Huge bummer for what this movie could be. The “dinosaurs” were weird as hell and used gorilla warfare tactics in certain scenes instead of just acting like animals. The girl was dumb af having hissy fits for an entire day, being playful and nonchalant when they’re literally on an alien planet, wondering off and wasting an entire bag of grenades on a small lizard, covering the bone with raspberries for no reason and then somehow killing the trex at the end with it even tho the gun couldn’t. The fact that they couldn’t communicate made it more annoying. So much potential but ended up a flop. Great idea but poorly executed with stupid made up dinosaurs and shitty writing
I actually chose this film over Scream in opening weekend, I reeaaaally wanted it to be good, and it was entertaining but that’s about it. I felt like the ending was rushed to fit into …. well… the ending phenomenon, I won’t spoil it for the ones that haven’t watched it
I thought the movie looked and sounded great but the story itself was just annoying at times which makes it bad. My problems with the movie: They complicated the movie by adding language barriers between both characters. The age difference is a challenge in itself but lets add in language as well. When we reach space travel capability someday, our population would be well mixed and English should be common globally. They got it right with the interracial couple at the beginning of the movie so why complicate it with the language barrier? Their vessel didn't detect the deviated asteroid field. Advance ship but its detection system is as bad as our self-driving/autonomous cars today. Finally, the girl. Maybe I missed the part about her survival background as I was busy munching away at my nachos, but how is the 9 yr old have such outstanding survival skills from trapping a dino inside hollow log, securing the rope, and bending the branch to Adam from quicksand, but almost poisoned herself with those berries early in the movie? I feel that the writers came up with a really great idea: What if you crashed landed on a random planet and it turned out to be earth 65 millions ago? But as they begin writing, the intense and suspense were added in as fillers because the plot line was boring. They tried mixing an iconic movie (Jurassic Park) and video game (The Last of Us) into this and it was a mess.
The movie started off with a bad script. The single/small band of survivors , That need to get to point A to point B is played out. This film would've worked better if The ship was a larger vessel with several hundred passengers. With it crashing with several dozen survivors who go out exploring in team's heavily armed. Basically having a bigger budget action movie.
Yeah it was not that good and yes it was a bit goofy. I knew it may not be. It is too bad cause somehow it is by the people behind A Quiet Place and Haunt. Good thing we got the next A Quiet Places to look forward too and the video game based on the franchise as well. Apparently the same people did not do A Quiet Place 2 and it sounds like they would not be involved in future releases.
I really enjoyed the movie the cave part was weird idk how HE got out? when he was trapped no, idk but I want more of this type of stuff when human like people come to earth and do earth things
I personally think Adam Driver is insanely overrated as an actor. I think he gets most of his work because he has good woke credentials and was popularised in The Girls.
This movie was made by two guys who apparently had heard the word "Dinosaurs" before, but that's as far as their research went. The entire alien-human premise was wasted; there wasn't a single authentic representation of an actual dinosaur in this film; they had the Chicxulub meteor hitting the wrong place on the Earth, which is hard to do, since we literally named the place after the meteor so it can be found on a map; the science of the "alien" technology was goofy and only seemed to exist to serve the plot; the story itself was without any real conflict other than "There are monsters and all of them are meat eaters for some reason, so lets get to the escape pod that has enough power to reach the escape velocity of the Earth." It was just bad in every way it could've been bad.
I was low key hoping for a post credit scene couple million years later about another family getting accidentally stranded on earth and there names are Adam and Evelyn with their children Able, Cain etc...
This whole movie was super weird and oftentimes really dumb. I still dont know, what kind of girl she was supposed to be. I think she acted waaay more like a girl from a recently discovered tribe from the jungle, than a girl who just doesnt speak a certain language. This whole premisse of „they are regular humans, but just slightly different“ was very confusing to me.
Movie was ok. Some of it was like “Wtf” but was still decent. Driver and Greenblatt did a great job with the acting. I think the ending kinda sucked. My opinion: This easily could’ve been a badass, open world survival game. Then the reveal that this was Earth, 65million years ago,would’ve/could’ve had a little more impact. (Especially if we think ‘as the player’ we’re already people from earth, only to discover in the end that we never were!)
i really liked it.. even after expecting to b disappointed, because all the RU-vidrs' thumbnails saying it was bad..i think on RU-vid ppl get clicks from saying things r bad.a sad place this is.
Thanks. Ok, you've convinced me, I was right not to waste my time and money on another movie - maybe ever again. Sssssh quiet place, sush no talking premise... Enough, bad dialogue is terrible, little to none is worse.
I didn't watch the trailer because I like Driver but damn this movie was supper disappointing. The 65 million years thing is a crazy concept. I think if they used time travel it could have been better.
Movie was fine Sure could've had more dialog for the child but often upcoming stars dont get much Plot was yea okay and was nevwr meant to be some monumental thing The fact theh are humanoid beings has no bearing on how bad or good the script is, As we have no idea whats actually out there In paradox we could be searching for future version of ourselves Only knock i had is know8ng how stars effect gravity and time😂😂.
this movie was fking boring and it looked like it was gonna be good but now I'm disappointed and never going to the movies again until more marvel movies come out
Even After Earth is better than this, which they took from to be honest. Would have been better If Emily blunt or someone else replaced the little girl. Also why the f**k did they reveal that they were on Earth before you see the movie was a bad move.
Shoutout to Raid, BUT I'm just bummed that Adam Driver went from being the best part of mid Star Wars movies, to just doing whatever. This doesn't seem like a project he'd shine in
For anyone listening to his advice, no this movie is absolutely not worth renting. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen and isn't even worth $1.
It was ridiculously bad. A neat concept that they ruined. It was ugly, boring, and most all the interactions between characters were wooden and super fake
So I have to say, as a french person when I watched the movie, it was so clear it was written by Americans because an alien guy, from a planet far more advanced than us, NEEDED MONEY TO CURE HIS DAUGHTER, like, you guys don't have healthcare???? WTF! 😵💫
@@Red1Green2Blue3 I don't need to tell myself that even once let alone repeatedly as I'm Canadian and am sadly well aware of the problem considering it's one of many this failure of a healthcare system causes me.
Dude, the Dino design in this film was offensive. Other than that is was just pretty mid overall IMO. Some good moments smashed in between stretches of "Meh".
I, too, look forward to what they do next. The fact is, you really can’t call this a bad film; as you said , Adam Driver and Ariana Greenblatt were both good, and there was such amazing photography . I had a good time, for what it was. The time did not drag in this film, it had a decent pace. The thing is, I didn’t walk away from this thinking about it. Those are my favorite films, when I think about it long after.
Anyone can turn a filet mignon into hot garbage, but that doesn't mean it's still good, because the meat was quality. The final product was BAD. Sadly, none of the filmmakers or actors had the self-awareness to realize they were making a 90's schlock action-adventure. To be completely honest, I'd prefer a Jean Claude Van Damme in a film like this anyway, because that dude knew when he was in some trash and leaned into it. Driver was too good for this film, which ironically only highlighted just how bad the script and direction were.
It was average at best. Even the best actor can't save a film alone. There was enough meat for drivers character. The girls was a little light and wasn't explored enough. But the plot and 'script' were just bad. A very flat, seen before, not invested in, film. I actually started using Facebook toward the end. And the 3rd act was a horrid let down.
I really liked this movie. The marketing for it was atrocious, but it was a genuinely delightful watch, but I'm pretty much down for anything with dinosaurs and a relatively tight plot.
I liked the movie but hated the dinosaurs in it. I love dinosaurs too and it’s what drew me to it, but it felt more like an alien movie then a dinosaur movie.
@@amnfoxmost are TRex with four legs which never existed and aren’t dinosaurs. They all just look like weird lizards that should be in a King Kong movie
I liked this film. It was straight to the point. Mission goes bad, and the new mission is to survive the monsters and clock. Also how it handled grief. It got me in the feels.
Funny how one of the main audiences they were aiming this movie at, the Paleo community literally ripped this movie to shreds before it even came out and refused to see it, because of the lazy completely monstrous and made up dinosaur designs
tbh I enjoyed the new designs I felt like it made the dinosaurs feels fresh. yeah they could have gone the jurassic park route but then it'd just be compared to jurassic park. ig I just like to see something new. though to be fair to "realism" we are still trying to figure out for sure what they look like. We just got back into feathers like a decade ago
Some of the dinosaur designs felt more like aliens then dinosaurs and I hated the dark blue colour scheme they went with for some of the dinosaurs, reminded me so much of the Jurassic World dinosaurs
I wasn't really a fan of this film. Killing off all the passengers felt like a misstep that ensured there would be no stakes for the rest of the film. The girl didn't ever seem like she competently spoke another language, it seemed like she literally was working with about a dozen total words even in her language. The "dinosaurs" behaved like berserk video game enemies, dying in droves trying to kill humans. The movie also didn't flow very well, it very much felt like distinct scenes linked together more than a cohesive film. It seems like they missed an opportunity to actually try and recapture what Jurassic Park did. Instead of giving the audience a chance to experience life 65 million years ago as we scientifically understand it, it was basically a kinda adventure, kinda comedy, kinda horror, kinda sci-fi, kinda survival movie with monsters that are kinda like dinosaurs.
I hate that people are praising this movie for being mediocre. Like that's the metric we should weigh art upon? I get that Disney has taken over the cinemas, but adding crap films into the mix isn't a win; not by a long shot. I found this movie to be annoyingly schlocky, because it wasn't self aware enough to realize what it was. Sadly, Driver doesn't seem to know what film he's in either, because he's trying so hard to sell the nonsense and it doesn't work. I honestly would've preferred a bit more camp in my hot garbage. 1 jar of Alien Urine, out of 10 Ancient Aliens Artifacts
When I first got my Malco moviepass (trust me, it is related), I decided to ask my mother if her, my stepfather, and my brother would want to watch something in theatres, and we ended up deciding on this. Safe to say, I absolutely loved it. The characters were great, the environmental effects are on par with things like Avatar and How to Train Your Dragon, and especially the way they were able to make everything feel so real and impactful, the emotion they were able to push through, even with such little speaking. You can tell that the writers who worked both on 65 and A Quiet Place really took a note from A Quiet Place on terms of selling emotion without solely relying on dialogue between characters. 7/10 imo
I guess I’ll be the honest one here in the comment section lol this movies was absolutely awful just with plot alone these directors somehow manage to make a dinosaur movie with made up alien looking dinosaurs ( when they could have just used real looking Dino’s) with AN ALIEN that’s a human crashing landing on EARTH just for them to get to point A to point B in 24 hours and then leave the end lol this idea could have been greatly played upon but instead it’s just a run thru at best with no character development and poorly executed scenes of “dinosaurs”
I just wished the "dinosaurs" looked like actual dinosaurs. They all look like monsters, they make the Jurassic Fight Club models look like they're from Prehistoric Planet.
Truly one of the most boring films I've ever seem. It wasn't "bad" just boring, which is a shame given that there were so many interesting directions they could have gone in.
I am nine minutes into this movie and I already don’t like it, I really hate forcing myself to watch this crap hoping that it’ll get better at some point. Maybe I should just listen to the reviews and bail early while I still can. (Update I stayed for the whole thing now I’m mad at myself for doing it)
About Arianna Greenblatt's career, she'll also be playing Tiny Tina in the Eli Roth's Borderlands movie.......... Which given those last 4 words, I wish her luck. (I can only tolerate Borderlands if all the dialogue and text is removed, and the only Eli Roth film I liked was his one PG outing with House with a Clock in its Walls.)
