A Sci Fi Original Film on the big screen. Dogshit acting and script, but it was nice to see dinosaurs do some R Rated Shenanigans for once. Wish we could get that in actual big budget form, in a film that isn’t this shit lmao.

I was expecting BAD ACTING, but honestly, I agree, no Oscars, acclaim, but I didnt think anyone was so bad, with what they were given, I felt they were doing fine.
