If I had known how many times 'Copy that' would be uttered in this picture, I would have kept count. By the middle of the film it was driving me insane. But that's not the worst of it. This was a story about genetically enhanced dinosaurs with advanced combat abilities. They escape from a transport van, and a team of elite mercenaries are sent out to retrieve them (not really, but I'll get to that). What do you think these fearsome troops brought with them - handguns!!! That's right, they're going to put down or capture a pair of allosaurs with handguns! OK, to be fair, one of the guys had a combat rifle, whoopee!
Now about those elite mercenaries. You would think they'd look like recruits from the Expendables, but no, just your average looking, but young military types, not the hardened, battle scarred veterans you would expect to see on a mission like this. And as regards the mission, that's where the story does an about face. These guys and gals weren't set out to secure the rampaging pair of dino's, but to be defeated by them to demonstrate how effective these weaponized creatures would be in a real war. The corrupt head of the Triassic Corporation (Michael Paré) was broadcasting the hunt in real time for competing nations to place their bid on their very own dinosaur army! That idea went south when the first allosaurus was put down rather handily.
You can tell not too much thought went into this flick. The acting is amateurish at best, with soldier Joy (Sienna Farall) over emoting and sounding fake whenever she did. I noted at the end of the credits that the post production facility for this picture was called The Global Asylum, and then it all made sense. My advice if you should decide to watch this - "Stay frosty"!
