Gregg Martell is a hoot as the bewildered caveman, anticipating Brendan Fraser's later turn in Encino Man, and the effects are similarly enjoyable. Go to Full Review

Michael C Jan 6 The 1960 science fiction film "Dinosaurus!" is not particularly memorable by any means, but that does not mean it is bad. Mediocre is a good word to describe the movie. The story is just OK. An engineering team building a pier on a Caribbean island accidentally stumbles upon a caveman and two dinosaurs who have been in suspended animation for millions of years. OK. That's pretty much all I can say about the movie. I do not particularly recommend it because it is so mediocre. If you do see it, I don't think you will hate it, but you may not remember it for very long.

See more Dan M Dec 15 Comical and corny. Not a great film by far, but for what it is it's not too bad. See more Dallas H Dec 15 This movie's production makes me think it is a blended version of Gilligan's Island and Land of the Lost. See more @smparkas 09/24/2024 I've always wondered if the fight between the steam shovel and the T-Rex in the film's climax influenced James Cameron when he filmed the climactic battle between Ripley in the loader and the Queen alien. See more 07/14/2022 A classic in it's own curious way. Certainly, one that doesn't nearly get enough love. See more Read all reviews
