I was telling myself not to compare this one to Jurassic Park, but, to be honest, Jurassic Park, while visually captivating, wasn't really all that great. (Don't get me wrong. It's a good way to kill a couple hours, but it's not great.) Carnosaur is Jurassic Park without the good parts.
The movie is simple (in more ways than one). There's a crazy woman who bred dinosaurs from chickens, and all the people in the town are getting sick. The woman wants to repopulate the world with dinosaurs because, evidently, evidently, it was the humans' fault they died out. Meanwhile, our hero is a hard-to-like jerk who has it for a nature freak. They have to stop the dinosaurs. The movie never really gets resolved in any way. They just kinda stopped filming it.
I got the impression that we were supposed to look on in horror as the velociraptor killed off the Greenpeace wannabes who were chained to the large earthmover. I'm not the only one who laughed. The acting was bad, and the special effects were, well, they would be considered outstanding in the early thirties. Frankly, I've gotten more emotion and range from Star Wars figures in a black and white silent movie.
This movie isn't worth seeing. I can't wait to rent the sequel.
