This is filmmaking of expediency rather than either professionalism or extemporisation. Go to Full Review

Brodie L Jan 7 I used to rent all three Prehysteria! all the time when I was a kid. I recently rewatched the first and it was a lot of fun! After reading these comments, I'd say my favourite part about the movie is how overly seriously all these adults have been taking it. It was a kids' movie made in the early 90s on a low budget, and yet everyone seems to expect it to have been a cinematic masterpiece instead of just a fun, campy B movie. See more Anderson v 10/20/2024 I think this movie is great not as great but still it's all right See more Alexis M 09/23/2024 This movie was all right except for the acting See more Michael W @mawilps 04/06/2024 This dinosaur movie was great. Brett Cullen, Austin O'Brien, Samantha Mills, Colleen Morris, Stephen Lee, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The story of the movie was entertaining and fun. It's about discovering a new form of dinosaurs and protecting them from people that are greedy and will do anything to get what they want. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a great movie for an entire family. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie has gotten, those people have terrible tastes in movies. See more Ash P @AshParth 11/10/2023 When the name popped up, free on YouTube, I was thinking to myself, "I'm sure I've seen this when I was a kid in the 90's." And watching it again, it was a movie from the 90's. Not gonna lie, the practical effects especially for the little dinosaurs were kinda cool aside not much explained like seeing them on a South American slab or something but I digress. The writing wasn't great but at the least it had some heartfelt moments that actually made up for it for being a decent movie for kids. Hell, it had some good laughs, too, I'm not gonna lie. The villain is just weak especially with whatever creepy faces he made which even made him on a list of weakest villains from various movies. Not a terrible movie. Just a movie from the 90's which after watching it, it was vague of me to remember this especially being released on the same year and month as Jurassic Park. It was just... okay. 5/10. See more Chris M 02/14/2023 The idea is unique and the effects are good. The cast works. But the villain is a bit weak and there are some massive assholes in this movie. But it's not great but it still very, very good. See more Read all reviews
