Frey here: What kind of T-Rex just bites a conquistador and doesn't finish the job? I really will have to watch this movie when it reruns. I can't believe Will lived through such a bite!

Actually, Marco Sanchex's character, Rios, shoots the dino in the eye prompting it to drop Will.

Aztec Rex was talked about on "The Soup" on E network. Check it out here:

Frey here: Actually there are dinosaurs all over the place, they're just mostly small. I don't know of a scifi movie that anyone would watch called "attack of the giant chicken"! Thanks for informing me of the eye shot on the T-Rex. I still think a reflex bite would have cut Will in half. I wonder if many of the movies use a chop in half bite to avoid death scenes. Half a body doesn't usually say much. It's also visually very gruesome, for the teenagers I guess.

man, on the Sci Fi forums there are some people really ripping on the film and especially the acting. I guess when you put yourself out there you open yourself up to criticism like that. I'm definitely going to blog about this on my Myspace page tonight when I get home from work.

Some of the statement made:

"Yes its true, the master morons in charge of sci-fi will inflict yet another POS movie on their viewers. It would seem that nbc and sci-fi has bought up all the five dollar scripts that were in the trash files in the nbc archive.
I'm sick of the ***** on sci-fi, I am sick of the wrestling, ghost hunting and a load of merd that I try to watch and can't.

I would like to watch descent sci-fi, and good anime! I seem to be able to find those things everywhere BUT the sci-fi channel.

Does it do any good at all to ##### about this, It dosen't look like it. We need to pull down the one's in the ivory towers"

"SlyverWolfe, I'm with you. I adore Ricky but the writing was boring. What I want to know is why the WIGS didn't get billing? The reason no one could recognize Ian is because that wig was in control. It was ****** because it didn't get billing. The wigs were horrible. I eventually gave up and watched something else. Sorry Ricky, I'm chalking this up to you needed to pay some bills. You to David. Not even Will Snow (Mendoza) was enough to keep me watching. Will is normally a hottie, but with that dead animal on his head and face, it was hard to see that."

"Good things: bikini bades (women in a village like that would have been topless, but this is basic cabel)
Dino chomping
Took only 27 minutes to view using DVR

new historical information: Aztecs used formed concrete

bad things: "acting""

I asked in response to that last one just what was bad, specifically about the acting and this is the reply I got:

"All of it was bad, except for the dinosaur. To say it was two dimensional gives it too many dimensions. It was flat, non-inspiring, not emotive, monotonal rote recitation of the script. I was left praying that the stupid dinosaur would eat everyone, fast. The wigs were only slightly better in the acting range."

"I thought this movie was unwatchable, even with the sound turned off. It was so low budget that there were hardly any Aztecs or Spaniards. As usual, there were no characters that anyone would care about.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was interesting, but unexplained. Also, the dinosaur was cleverly hidden in most scenes to cut down on the CGI costs. I did not watch this plodding feature to the end, but I presume they killed off a perfectly good dinosaur that was definitely more important than any of the people."

"These movies actually appeal to the very same crowd that watch and enjoy wrestling, and whether we like it or not they seem to be the majority."

Somebody made mention of the end of the credits where it said, "No dinosaurs were harmed in the making of this film" and posted the following in relation:

"Followed by: "No actors were hired for the filming of this movie.""

Wow! Not sure what to say about those! Confused

Hi,

I missed this movie the first time around, and I would love to get a chance to see it. When I checked the scifi channel last month I was able to see that it was playing again sometime in June. Unfortunately, now I can't find that information.
Did I miss it again? Or can someone tell me when it is playing again?

I love scifi channel movies! And a chance to see some familiar faces!

Thanks!

.....must convince husband to get tivo.....

Nova I don't see Aztec Rex on the June schedule... perhaps I'm mistaken....

on a slightly different note the DVD is promised to be on the street by August 5, 2008 (subject to change).

On a similiar note (and probably due to Shawn and WILL):

Sci Fi Channel:
Sci Fi Channel had its best May to-date in total viewers (1.26 million: +14 percent from May 2007), adults 18-34 (229,000), adults 18-49 (614,000: +13 percent), adults 25-54 (681,000: +12 percent), and all key male and female demographics. Growth among women, in particular, was as much as 25 percent in the 25-54 age range from one year earlier.
