I couldn't help myself with the Lost World deja vu.
The beginning alone was full of reminders.

The T-Rex of course
The native girl being carried to the altar to be sacrificed. (Marguerite twice)
The native girl not wanting to marry but being forced to (very Veronica and Chief Jacoba)

That T-Rex was a blood thirsty thing wasn't it?
The way it licked the heart of the sacrificed native girl yukkkkkky.

I watched some of it but the really, really, really bad wig on Ian scared me more than the T Rex and I gave up. I did see Will and well...looked like the make-up/costumes people got a deal on really bad wigs. Will sounded a bit like he did on TLW to me. The beard (if it was his own) made him look so much older.

I was rather disappointed in the writing considering it was Ricky Manning (aka Froon from Farscape). Sadly it seemed like so many other SciFi produced movies. Rolling Eyes

This is just my opinion and your mileage may vary.

This is what I get for not coming to this board more often. I'm sorry I missed this movie maybe when it comes on again I wll get a chance to see it.

Now I'm going to go and beat myself over the head with something.

Love sad Jax Crying or Very sad

Jaxgirl - imho, you didn't really miss much. I'm sure SciFi will run it again...they usually do run their movies a couple more times. If you go to SciFi.com and their schedule, you might be able to have it send you a reminder when it comes on again.

I personally thought that will did a fantastic job acting, but other than that, that was one of the WORST!!!! movies I think i've ever seen in my life, that t-rex was so fake, it looked like something from a video game, I mean, the puppets from season one of TLW looked a hell of alot better than that, and the actors did a horrible job acting,(except for will of course) but I was so disapointed, especially cause they were making such a big deal about this movie, and it wasn't even that good.

The wig on Ian reminded me of the wig they put on the actor who played the adult Osric...I wonder if wigs on men bring out the over acting bug?

Well, I finally watched it. I thought the special FX would be better, considering what they can do with today's technology, but I've seen worse. I agree that some of the acting wasn't very good, but it wasn't all bad. Will was the Will that we all know and love. I thought Shawn did alright. I thought that Marcos Sanchez, who played Rios, did a good job. Ian's performance just seemed forced, like he was trying too hard to convince us that he was a Spaniard. He didn't pull it off. I wouldn't say that it was the worst movie I've ever seen. It was typical of a SciFi Channel movie.

I missed it either fortunately or unfortunately, it depends on how you look at it. I will try to see it when it reappears. The comments so far are interesting!
Question: Slathrop who did you play in it? Frey always says one should hire real dinos for these flics but humans are wussies!

Beckers · Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 12:14 am Post subject:

, Frey.

I'm actually surprized at some of the comments. I enjoyed the movie. I watched it to the very end -- despite the death of a major heroic favorite actor/character -- ahem. Rolling Eyes

Well for the record and to prevent anyone from posting nasty comments or sending rude e-mails to hoghunter I want everyone to know that we discussed the comments in private and I hold no ill will or animosity toward hoghunter. I've always believed in civility and common courtesy so I ask others to do the same thing and keep it here on the board.
