Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Despite the constant of the soldiers running and gunning their way through war terrain while dodging prehistoric attacks, Primitive War is surprisingly inert. Aug 22, 2025 Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Further proof that Luke Sparke is one of the best Australian directors going around at the moment. This film shouldn't work - its premise is crazy - yet somehow it does. It becomes an enjoyable action-horror that is filled with creativity. Rated: 4/5 Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Bottom line—this is the dinosaur movie fans have been waiting for, and it doesn’t pull any punches. Rated: 8.5/10 Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Nicholas Brooks CBR Primitive War isn't perfect, but it's exactly what audiences need to scratch the dino itch. Rated: 6/10 Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Jana Monji Age of the Geek In 2025, is it really okay to make a film like this in terms of diversity? Ignoring that, it is still hard to ignore the bad dialogue. What's wonderful though, the dinosaurs done on a budget. Rated: 2/5 Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Cris Parker 3C Films (YouTube) While I admire and respect how much dinosaur mayhem was delivered given the film’s budget, the writing and characters leave a lot to be desired—problems a bloody T-Rex bite can’t fix. Rated: 5/10 Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Nuk Suwanchote Movies was so much fun! Dino action like no other! satisfied a dino hunger ever since the beginning of time! So much heart and passion in the film by the filmmakers. Incredibly impressed and would highly recomend watching! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Adam I haven't seen a dinosaur movie this good since the very first jurassic park. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review David S I liked the dinosaurs. They were realistic enough. Not so much the military. Their decision process, the way they maneuvered (running for their lives only to rest in the open?). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review Matthew Dinosaurs and American squad- good Forced Russian and Vietnamese accents- bad Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Brian Dinosaurs in Vietnam and the only thing they have more of than raptors and bullets is f-bombs. Just good campy B-movie fun that was surprisingly more intelligent than I expected. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Anthony Best dinosaur movie since the original JP Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
