An unashamed exploitation movie with teeth, this has all the dinosaur devilry and gung-ho soldiering you could want. There’s even a sweet Tyrannosaur love story in the mix.

There’s a cheerful cheesy gleefulness that motors the movie along.

Despite the constant of the soldiers running and gunning their way through war terrain while dodging prehistoric attacks, Primitive War is surprisingly inert.

5/5

Primitive War is, improbably, the most entertaining dinosaur film in years. It’s chaotic, heartfelt, brutal and oddly sincere. It knows its audience. It knows its influences. And it is an action movie with enough bite to make a Tyrannosaurus proud.

It's too serious to be fun. It's too stupid to be smart. It's too long to be watched. Primitive War is a primitive chore to get through but I did get a few laughs along the way. Just not for the reasons it probably wanted.

‘Primitive War’ easily fits into the category of a cheesy war film, but it also delivers plenty of ridiculous fun.

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?).
