Ok, I can't get that two hours of my life back and I wish I could. From the NAVY Seals, to the horrible CGI, to the cheesy ending, Lorenzo Lamas should be taken out back and given a woodshed beating. "Hack" as his character is called, is just that.......a Hack Actor. Don't waste your time on this. It has made my all time bottom ten........right next to Fire in the Sky!!!
I couldn't agree more with the subject line. I am used to cheap sci-fi flicks on the channel of the same name, but this one beat them all. First, I tried watching it 'actively', impossible, then I started doing dishes with that 'movie' in the background - still unwatchable. How could anybody be in a movie like this, or make a movie like this, watch it, and then release it? A tax write-off, a joke....I don't get it.
I wonder if these people actually look back with pride on what they have "accomplished." Especially the CGI crew.
Dinosaurs that are not believable at all...Check! Cheesy rip offs of Jurassic Park raptors that almost appear to be stop-motion at times...Check! Little red clouds of blood after bullets hit their hides leaving no visible wounds...Check! Great Job! Give yourselves a pat on the back.
By the way, at this very moment Raptor Island is playing on SciFi. Time to change the channel.
This movie is hilarious, i have never seen anything even close to this bad. Who ever let this movie be made should be fired, in fact, it is a disgrace to even call this a movie. When i was five years old playing in my sand box with action figures, i could have filmed that and made a better action film than this. Its just horrible.
Go for it Mortal Sin! And you are so bloody correct! Raptor Island is way better than those sitcoms. Raport Island is just one of the best dinosaur movies out there hahaha. I'd say it's more fun to watch than Jurrasic Park films which are overrated. Raptor Island made a name for itself and has big fanbase.
Obviously haven't seen Planet Raptor, the sequal, aka Craptor Island 2. The dinos are like first generation video tests done in other movies, but with barely any movement. They just stand there much more than the first film. No scales, no colours. Grey. The ones in RI are excellent, by comparison. Strangely, sometimes there are visible wounds - holes.
Quelle fromage! You may find it hard to believe, but some of their other offerings are even cheesier!
My two favorite bad examples: "Cyclops" • The Cyclops was a Greek story, but they decided to move him to Rome. • The CGI monster looked more like a cartoon drawn by someone on drugs! • The writers didn't know any more about Emperor Tiberius than the bare fact that he existed. They should have saved this one for Thanksgiving dinner. "The Treasure of the Grand Canyon" • This CGI monster looked like a man in a rubber lizard-with-wings suit. — (Quetzelcoatl was a winged serpent, not a winged lizard.) • No one could pronounce "Quetzelcoatl". • This was supposed to be about Aztecs but — the artifacts looked Mayan and — the people looked like Anglos in dark wigs and flip-flops. • The history expert of the group attributed an item to Pizarro instead of to Cortéz. • Another "scientist" wondered if curare poisoning was contagious. Definitely another Thanksgiving dinner.
All I can say to the writers, director(s) and producer(s) of these "Sy-Fy Channel VERY Original Movies" is: I admire your ability to get paid for this.
