Valley of Gwangi?

The Lost World?

Journey to the center of the Earth? (Ok, that's a bit different, but still)

Not sure what the hell I just watched, but I guess I was entertained.

Wasn't expecting Tricia Helfer in this one. Or Jeremy Piven. Or freaking Jason Stackhouse...errr.. Ryan Kwanten. Dude's grown up for sure.

Guess I went in to this as blind as I could be.

And I did call it. Skull Island minus Kong. But instead of the Hollow Earth, we had (Nope - Spoiler free).

Somewhere between Jurassic World and maybe The MEG?

3 out of 5 fun. Just don't take it too seriously.

I just got out. I thought it was fricking awesome

There were some scenes in there that made me think Zack Snyder made a dinosaur movie (TDKR lightning and some slow mo effects), and I’m here for it. CGI honestly looked pretty great overall

I feel like this would make a lot of money if it had some more marketing and screens

I was surprised there were no trailers (previews) per usual. 4pm showing and I waltz in a few minutes late, and it's already started.

And there was only 1 showing for this movie all day.

Meanwhile - k pop demon hunters has multiple screens & showings, all 90% full or more.

Yeah I’m confused on the 1 showing per day, like what was their plan in distributing it?

Wish they’d do a better job so we had a chance to get a sequel. I think there are 4 novels

I think the new Jurassic Park flick took some steam out of the marketing team.

I got out of it a bit ago, and it was awesome!

Hope it makes some money and gets an extended stay.

Worth the watch.

Released on prime today. Paid full price because I want more of these movies even if I didnt like it.

I loved it. Over the top man vs dinosaurs with lots of guns and guts. Story was dumb but honestly it didnt need one because it usually got in the way of why you would watch this kind of movie.

Its worth at least a rental on a night where you dont want to think to much.

Watched it and liked it except for Piven’s God awful accent.

It looks fun. Let me know what you think. If it gets your stamp of approval then ill probably check it out. I love a good action movie that knows what it is and isnt trying to be something its not.

Easily worth $5 if you like dinosaur movies, monster movies, or shooty sci-fi movies.

I saw it in the theater and really enjoyed it, I was hoping for a 4K release but probably will buy on digital too

Can't have a movie in Vietnam without "Fortunate Son." Glad they got in there.

More fun than any of the Jurassic World movies. Not great by any means but a fun watch nonetheless. On Hulu right now.
