Too gory for my inner eight year-old, and my inner 12 year-old cringed throughout.

The dinosaurs do the business, but they are let down badly by the human element.

The weak central father/son relationship lacks much-needed bite and authenticity, whilst a badly-placed revenge-cum-horror story fails to register.

It's British, it's kind of fun and, at barely 80 minutes, it doesn't outstay its welcome.

The Dinosaur Project, is exactly what you would expect from a found footage orientated, British film about dinosaurs... but that, unfortunately, is not a positive acknowledgement.

This come out sfter all the terrible paranormal activities,but it' s interesting. Yes the dinosaurs are not realistic and the humans are boring but it's watchable

The camera was weird but the CGI was stunningly great, I had a great time watching it and I recommend it if you don't have problems with "found footage" movies

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Mäh… brutal, implausible in it's storyline and bad depiction of Dinos. The camera choices where really weired and the „camera accidentally cut of" type of filming was super annoying

A very mediocre Found Footage movie but a very decent Dinosaur movie

It has all the dumb cliches from found footage movies. The only difference is that instead of aliens, ghost or something like that, we have a few (because of the low budget) dinossaurs suprisingly well animated. Besides the decent CGI, the storytelling is just acceptable, despite the awful decisions of the characters and mediocre acting, and it's overall an entertaining movie. It's clearly a bad movie, of course, but with just 80 minutes long, it's not a waste of time.

Scary and violent (and not suitable for kids), but rather well done. Excellent special effects. Not as good as Jurassic Park, but better than The Lost World: Jurassic Park. I enjoyed it.
