It was fine. Longest 15 kilometer walk in history though.

Saw it a week ago. It's fine, but nothing special. Go see it if you like dinosaurs.

Saw this on a flight recently. Really bad, they somehow managed to combine Dinosaurs with Sci Fi and make it boring

Typical "indie" movie tropes. Poor dialogue, editing, etc. I quit halfway through.
When characters don't have lines written and just say "hey, hey hey hey".
Watch Prospect instead for something similar.

I watched I while riding my bike on Zwift. Still felt like wasted time.
Why do Studios spend money on shit like this? It has to be money laundering, there is no other explanation.

So, was it just generic monster aliens in the script and on set and they changed it to pseudo Earth dinos in post? Because they do NOTHING with the idea that space faring humans were flying around 65 million years ago and apparently not native to Earth? Granted, I faded out a bit by the end, but I don't recall any lore to explain how/why they landed on a primitive Earth. I thought this was gonna be a riff off the old Epcot Dino ride but if there was any of that in there, it was edited out.

The worldbuilding is so low effort and dumb. Adam Driver is basically just a guy from present day America but he's actually an alien-human from 65 million years ago, like there wouldn't be any cultural differences.

He also needs to pilot a ship across the galaxy to pay for his sick kid's health care bill, which is so ridiculously on the nose as a present-day American issue unlikely to be a problem for a culture thousands of years more advanced.

There's a throwaway line about how the ship's auto-translator equipment broke in the crash, but none of his personal equipment has translation functionality, so we're expected to believe nothing like a 2010 iPhone exists. Despite that, Adam Driver has an ipad that can detect an asteroid approaching in space while on Earth, with only its on-device sensors. Yet the spaceship couldn't detect the asteroid in the first place and smashed right into it. So the ipad's asteroid sensors are better than the spaceship's.

This is the first movie in probably 10 years where I flat out stopped watching it in the middle.

Listen, I watch a LOT of movies. And a LOT of these movies I watch are bad. I like bad movies more than most.

This had all the trappings of the perfect "BossLackey movie". Dinosaurs. Sci-Fi. Adam Driver(?).

I legitimately cannot think of a movie with a larger delta between my level of entertainment and the premise of the movie. It's SOOOOOO BOOOOOORIIIIIING.

I'm actually impressed with how boring it is.
