Planet Raptor (2007)
Charmingly Bad
The fact that the movie is named "Planet Raptor" really ought to tell you everything you need to know. Even before you start watching, you pretty much know in advance that it will involve some kind of dinosaur-like creatures that will kill people in amusingly graphic ways. The main questions answered by the movie will not be grand existential questions such as the meaning of life, or what is love, no, the questions answered by the movie will be:
1. How long will it take before the raptors start killing the people? 2. Will the people get off any good lines before they die and/or as they are dying? 3. Once the killing starts, will the more attractive cast members manage to escape (the unattractive ones are pretty much going to be raptor-fodder)?
A side issue will be determining just how bad the special-effects will be.
Anyway, having sort of watched Planet Raptor, I am pleased to report that as far as cheesy- bad Sci-Fi Channel made-for-TV movies go, this one is actually pretty watcheable. I don't want to bang my head against the wall, or jab a pencil through my eyeballs. I consider this to be a victory for this sort of movie. Sure, it's not what you could consider "good", but what did you expect? The friggin' movie is titled "Planet Raptor"!
*Very Mild Spoiler Alert* The answers to the questions posed above are: 1. Too Long 2. Kinda 3. Yes a. the special effects were very, very, not-good
