Not bad enough to be good
gwynmoses9 June 2018
This is such an obvious rip off of other movies, from the title to the enclosed environment similar to Deep Blue Sea. It lacks all the humour of the Sharknado type films and is ridiculously predictable with two dimensional characters being killed off in turn. The gore level is good, but it seems big savings were made in the dinosaur special effects, with them looking more like 1950s stop go animation than modern graphics.

Overall, probably worth a watch if there's nothing better on TV, but not worth going out of your way to see it.

Dinosaurs on the rampage
TheLittleSongbird29 August 2018
Have made no secret in the past numerous times of hating most of The Asylum's films with a passion. Still see their films out of curiosity as well as low-budget film completest sake. There is the curiosity as to whether they are capable of something watchable (occasionally they have) and there is something compulsive about their badness.

Was not expecting much from 'Triassic World'. On top of being from The Asylum, it just sounded terribly derivative to the point of being a blatant rip off, the cover/poster looked cheap, it had a low rating and the reviews were less than promising. So in all honesty was expecting something terrible. Seeing 'Triassic World' with an open mind and fairness intended, it turned out to be not near as terrible as expected and much better than most of The Asylum's previous films. At the same time, didn't find it a particularly good film either, pretty lame actually.

Just for the record, am somebody who hates being critical believe it or not and is more often than not encouraging and aims to be balanced and tries to evaluate rather than completely gushing or bashing, so will always severely object to being called an armchair critic/expert that is thrown around a lot immaturely.

There are positives. There is colour and atmosphere in the setting and some slickness in some of the shots. The music is not over-bearing, variety-less or monotonous, even when not being exactly memorable.

A few of the dinosaurs are fun and have some personality that avoids going too far on the goofiness or scare factor.

On the other hand, the limited budget shows in particularly the not always very well organised editing and the mostly quite amateurish effects (with the odd reasonable one). Most of the camera work is similarly disorganised. The dinosaurs don't steal the show as much as they should and their contributions not particularly memorable or well used. The human characters are underwritten and have little development or endearing personality with so many silly and less than logical behaviours and decisions (a bugbear of mine and have found myself using it a fair bit recently). None of the actors look comfortable in their roles and don't seem to be having fun at all.

Also found too much of the dialogue on the wrong side of dumb and cheesy, complete with some soapy moments, and that it didn't flow very well. The film is extremely derivative, interesting premise with far too over-familiar execution that has nothing new. The lack of imagination and suspense also hurts the film, too much evokes cringing and the thrills are sporadic. The direction felt like they were not in control of the material and not at ease with the genre.

Concluding, lame but could have been worse. 3/10 Bethany Cox

The Asylum disappoints again
Leofwine_draca27 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
TRIASSIC WORLD is another mindless rip-off from The Asylum, this time copying JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM in theme if not plotline. As usual, this turns out to be a disappointing, low budget dinosaur story in which some bad CGI animations are occasionally seen running around corridors, but not much. Mostly this is a single-room thriller, with various uninteresting characters hiding inside a 'safe room' while the escaped dinosaurs rampage outside. Poor scripting and bad camerawork combine to make this an unappetising, unappealing kind of movie, not so-bad-it's-good, just plain bad.

Typical Asylum Junk.
Max_Lucas20 June 2018
Did Asylum invent the "camera shake"? Or did they copy that as well? Maybe some day they will release original movies without riding on the coat tails of REAL movie releases. Stop naming their movies to trip up some people into being suckered into watching and releasing them same time as the REAL movies. I don't see how these guys make any money with these flicks. Maybe its just for a tax write off? I can sum up this movie (and all their other movies) in a few words. 1) Poor acting, 2) Poor story, 3) Little to no special effects (When in doubt, just shake the camera for action, horror or just low on budget.

Extreme Gore and Not Bad Special Effects
omendata3 August 2018
Don't let the other reviews mislead you;, this is actually not bad at all for an Asylum release - Me personally? for a low budgeter , I found the special effects rather well done and the gore will satisfy any horror fan!

A lot of the reviewers seem to rate sub 1 million pound movies with mutli million dollar ones like Jurassic Park and that is very unfair on the movie makers who make these low budget efforts - So give this one a try , it not bad at all but problem is , its just not that scary!

Not bad at all and will certainly pass a Friday night in with the partner , bottle of wine and some choccies!

Actually entertaining enough for a movie from The Asylum...
paul_haakonsen21 June 2018
Right, well with a movie named "Triassic World" and with a movie company like The Asylum standing behind its creation, we all know what we are in for here. Yes, another mockbuster, and this time let's guess it must be on the "Jurassic World 2" movie, just a hunch eh.

I would definitely be one of the first to raise an eyebrow and be suspicious of a movie such as this. But then again, every now and again does The Asylum actually put out a fairly entertaining movie, regardless of the cash-in on whatever movie they were toying with.

"Triassic World" actually turned out to be better than anticipated. Was it a predictable movie? You betcha. But there was just something fundamentally cheesy to the movie which actually made it worth watching.

And The Asylum really upped their game here in terms of special effects. I will say that, for the most part, then the dinosaurs actually looked quite decent. There were the occasional moment where it was blatantly just downright horrible CGI, but most of the time it was convincing enough. And that impressed CGI part actually brought a lot of value to the movie.

The acting in "Triassic World", however, was rather wooden and rigid, and was every bit as to be expected from a movie such as this. People were just not overly convincing throughout the movie.

"Triassic World" is the type of movie that you watch once and never again. Provided the fact that you actually can endure these type of shameless cash-in on upcoming or potential blockbuster movies from other huge movie companies.

Dinosaurs are the better actors
srooks116 September 2021
The best actors are the dinosaurs. The human actors are wooden. The script is full of cliches.

The production values are shoddy. This movie started from an interesting concept, but there was no follow through.

I've seen worse but it's not good..
twanster-9765523 May 2021
Doesn't make alot of sense but it does move along quickly, acting is better than your usual budget film, effects aren't dreadful, if you enjoy low budget and dinos then it isn't half bad. If your expectations are high then prepare to be disappointed, like I said its not the worst film, I'd say its average.

Movie of the Year
spaceboi711 June 2019
Where do I even start? Hands down the funniest unintentional comedy I've seen this year. There's absolutely too many memorable moments throughout the film to pick a favourite. The CGI? Exceptional. Move over Marvel, there's a new king of special effects in town. It'll take a well trained eye to spot the scenes where they didn't even use real dinosaurs to film the stunts. The only gripe I have with the film is that the main security officer didn't have a southern accent, which would've elevated this movie to a 9.4/10. So grab some popcorn, take a seat (preferably next to some good company), and buckle up because this is the movie you've been waiting for.

Not half bad
marea6719 June 2018
It's predictable. Secret facility? Check. "For the greater good"? Check. But greed the biggest motive? Check. Nothing can go wrong? Check. Something goes wrong? Check. Lots of screaming, running, people getting eaten? Check.... Yet this movie is fun enough, because the acting isn't as bad as some of the B-movies I've seen. I actually rooted for a few of them to make it (which doesn't always happen) No, it's not exactly Oscar-material, but for a sad, rainy afternoon with a cup of hot coffee on the couch, it's good enough.

Dinosaurs or dino-snore? Triassic World will put you to sleep
Ghostgirl9910 June 2019
You have to go into this movie expecting the worst. I did this and yet I was still disappointed, even with absolutely no prior expectations. The best actor in the movie was the guy walking along the sidewalk in the background as the characters are supposed to be quarantined in a gas-filled building. My favourite part was when the dinosaur had a surprise attack and went for the neck of the victim, pulling the victim out of the shot. Lucky for me, this happened about every 5 minutes! All in all, don't waste your time watching this (unless you're watching it with the right person. Then it's great). Honestly, is this movie even real? Who's to say!

Ripoff
rhonmike63-926-83326617 October 2019
This is the usual dinosaur gets out in lab and people trying to survive. Asylum version of Jurassic Park. Need nausea medicine for shaky camera effects. Probably would have enjoyed a little more without unwanted camera effects.

Slow, boring, and confusing
baebear27 January 2024
The movie moves very slowly and is very drawn out. When you think it's gonna be over there is another hour left. There is one setting in the entire movie making it even more lackluster. There are moments clearly ripping off scenes from the Jurassic Park franchise. And finally and most importantly, the plot does not make sense and is hard to follow. I still only know one of character's names after watching this. There are many plot holes and contradictory statements made, as well as things that aren't explained. However, if you can sit through without being bored the movie is kinda entertaining and if you like bad movies like I do you'll enjoy yourself.

Okay, so it's a B movie
itsabacus200926 May 2023
Okay look, we all know what it is and we all know what to expect; a B-movie. My only major problem with this movie is the plot itself; why use dinosaurs to clone human organs? I get that it's a knockoff and all but atleast put some more thought into your movie outline BEFORE you start making a movie. Other than that, let's talk about the pros and cons of this movie: Pro: Good acting, BETTER CGI than the original film it rips off (Jurassic world), more likeable characters, entertaining, more action, and less annoying.

Cons: Bad plot/storyline, a little predictable, and a little long for my taste, but still enjoyable.

All and all not that bad of a movie. Far better than Jurassic world but NOT as good as Jurassic Park.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen, bar none.
awesomekickball22 July 2023
I have spent a lot of my free time watching bad horror movies. I have seen The Bloody Rage of Bigfoot, the Polonia Brothers films, and most of the cookie-cut, early-aughts, made-for-tv monster movies. This movie is worse. The physical reaction of confusion and anger this train wreck made me feel was honestly distressing. The plot consistently changes on a scene-by-scene basis, to the point where I was constantly distracted by what I was watching. A person will say something in one scene, and then say the exact same thing in the next, this time in a completely new set of circumstances with a completely different set of reactions from the other characters listening. I do not know how you can create this as a finished product, screen it, and then justify it and release it. I understand making a movie can be difficult, but this is nuts. I turned this movie off halfway through simply because of how it had me feeling. Following that, I watched the second half over a two-day period, broken up into multiple sections. This movie will, hopefully, be the only one that I will ever have to turn off due to quality.

Do not watch this movie.

Bad but brilliant
chainsawcookie19834 May 2019
I love asylum movies, they're badly written, badly acted with terrible writing & always awful sfx.But they're turn your brain off fun & I always have a blast watching them.This is another typical asylum release hot on the heels of Jurassic world - fallen kingdom.If you enjoy terribly made movies that are a hell of a lot of fun then you'll like this.If you're looking for a Jurassic park clone then you'll hate it.

One of the best Asylum films out there
JamesBDavis30 June 2020
I know it's not saying much, but this is actually one of the better Asylum films. Obviously it's trying to cash in on Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, but this one actually does feel different enough. If anything, it feels more like one of the Carnosaur films than anything else.

The use of practical effects, though not a lot of them and not the best, is very welcome; especially in comparison to the CGI used. There's dinosaurs and gore and it's dumb, but it has fun with its concepts and doesn't take itself too seriously. Overall a fun movie that's good for turning your brain off to.

Really not a bad movie for a low budget film. Dinosaurs looked and moved better than you would think for a movie like this. I'd watch it again.

Not bad for a B Movie Horror Flick
enkildr21 July 2018
While not great, certainly better than a lot of B movies. I think its obvious from the title and summary what your going to get. You cant expect it to be a top cinematic movie, and while the plot is straightforward it was still an enjoyable movie to waste a couple of hours. One of the better Asylum films/B Movie films and if you go in without huge expectations (and again why would you for this type of film) then just enjoy it for what it is.

Amazing!
demelzawinters6 December 2020
This is honestly one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. I love all horror dinosaur movies and I loved this so much. The acting was terrific and the plot was also amazing. They did a really great job with everything that I have no complaints. I hate bad movies and this is not a bad movie. It was also super scary and the kill scenes was on point. There was a lot of scary jump parts that made me jump.

gsbuie7 December 2019
Absolutely one of the best movies The Asylum has ever made. And I've seen a lot of The Asylum movies. I would strongly recommend Dylan Vox direct more The Asylum movies!
