I saw this movie late one night on the sixth (french) channel. Most of it was awful but there were still a few redeeming qualities to it. The actors were rather pathetic, typical dino fodder I'd say and all they did was swear and moan about the ugly lizards attacking them. But they were PROFESSIONAL dino fodder actors. Indeed, they were very entertaining when getting dismembered and chomped by the dinosaurs. The gory scenes were not bad either. The dinos, on the other hand looked cheap and stiff, for they were puppets!! Yes, puppets, my friends, shown in full view struggling on their stiff, fat legs to get at the actors. Luckily for them there is still the ambushing tactic, ideal when in an underground mining/scientific/whatsitsname facility. Some elements of the plot reminded me vaguely of Aliens though... Things I learned from this movie: -Plastic mattresses are quite common in underground whatitsname facilities, they are a life saving device for crumby actors falling from ludicrous heights. -We humans are so dumb we have forgotten what to do when attacked by a shuffling, fat velociraptor, which is, to run like hell or hide. -Cloned velociraptors and tyrannosaurs look nothing like their prehistoric ancestors who were lithe, mighty and sleek-looking. Clones are fat, stiff and fake-looking. -A tyrannosaur cannot smash through an elevator door, especially when this one is made of metal mesh. -Dinos are extremely annoyed by Wagner's music, especially Flight of the Walkiry. -Dinos can unrig a booby trap better than any old soldier. -A man being shaken around in a T-rex's maw looks a lot like a plastic dummy.
