Triassic Hunt (2021) User Reviews

The Asylum unleash some ravenous dinosaurs...

[paul_haakonsen · 4/10 · 25 February 2021]

As soon as I saw the words "The Asylum" on the screen as the movie started, I immediately thought to myself "oh no". Why? Well, because The Asylum has a track record of making really, really bad low budget movies. But still, every now and again The Asylum does manage to put out a movie that is actually adequate and not all that bad.

So I gave "Triassic Hunt" a chance.

While the movie proved to be watchable, it was hardly an outstanding movie. The storyline was just bland and so much in it was just making little or no sense. But hey, a movie with dinosaurs is hardly top notch of creativity, right?

The acting in "Triassic Hunt" was as to be expected for a movie such as this, so you're not going to be in for a grand spectacular performance of high arts. I am not saying that the actors and actresses were bad at their craft, but they put on mediocre performances at best, as if they themselves didn't really believe in the movie's script and premise.

What does work for "Triassic Hunt" was actually the special effects. Indeed, this movie didn't have as bad CGI as I had expected from a movie from The Asylum. In fact, the special effects and CGI were actually quite good for a movie from The Asylum, so that counted well in favor of the movie.

But a bland script and storyline just weren't cutting it in terms of providing a wholeheartedly entertaining movie. Sure, "Triassic Hunt" was watchable, but it was a movie that came and went without much of a dent, nor is it one that I will be watching again.

My rating of "Triassic Hunt" is a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

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"!

I've seen worse

Asylum is so famous for terrible screenplays that the bar has become so incredibly low that this rises to a 3/10.

What is it about? Who knows? It's got two dinosaurs eating people, many in flashbacks just so the writers can feel like they're professionals for doing flashbacks.

A team of mercenaries is obviously being fed to the dinosaurs. This is evident from the first half hour, so it isn't a spoiler.

One gets the feeling that the director and writer team just want to do things because they can do them, and just do what special effects lets them do.

The story is so confusing and incoherent that you just sit back and figure it's another "big corporation makes deadly dinosaur weapon movie", and I think that is what it is, ho hum.

Triassic Hunt

This movie is about as bad as a low budget movie can get. My recommendation to you is save your money and watch something else. This has nothing but poor acting and poor animation all the way around and very, very slow, just kept on dragging. Very disappointed to say the least. There's a reason why there was no trailer to watch, because if you saw the trailer, you certainly wouldn't want to get the movie!

made by asylum

[moonnight072 · 1/10 · 6 February 2021]

When you want a laugh and you see its made by asylum you know youll get a laugh. acting is horrible like always. and they dont care about details when making movies, the entire run half the guns you can clearly see have no mag's in them. my recommendation is watch this if you really have nothing else to watch and second watch this if you want to see a comedy not a scifi or horror movie

Holy Ballz

[gmuri-65034 · 1/10 · 26 August 2021]

Wow. I'd definitely recommend if you enjoy embarrassingly bad movies. But in general it feels like a high school drama class gave it their best effort.

The movie is very bad in all respects photography montage characters drawings

[mo-62040 · 1/10 · 27 May 2021]

The movie is very bad in all respects photography montage characters drawings.

Tri-assh ... TRASH

[e_epistle · 1/10 · 6 February 2021]

A rip off of Jurassic Park (1993) and a really bad one at that! Which is the stupidest? Triassic Hunt FOR SURE so, so bad: avoid this Tri-assh Budget: $1 (estimated)

Should be rated comedy

[k-elmansoub · 1/10 · 26 June 2021]

If rated as a comedy ... it will make boom as much as. They tryin to act like.gangs 😂😂 and marines.

These dinosaurs certainly put the "ass" in Triassic!

[WeAllPodDownHereOfficial · 1/10 · 20 January 2022]

Triassic Hunt is a sequel to the 2018 film Triassic World, clearly a mockbuster of Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Instead of a dinosaur zoo/theme park though, we have dinosaurs that were supposed to be growing human organs and when that failed miserably, they decided to transport a male and female to Costa Rica, because of course.

Things quickly go wrong from the start, not just in terms of the dinosaurs immediately escaping and killing people, but in terms of the plot and major plot holes. I don't think even having our wonderful creature feature star, Danny Trejo could have saved this disaster of a film.

After the dinosaurs get away in an industrial park of some sort, the for hire mercenaries that were transporting the allosaurs must get their whole team together to recapture them...alive. But it turns out the company that hired them has set them up as a demonstration to sell the allosaurs as a weapon. They are supposed to have human level intelligence as well making this even more difficult.

There's so many problems with this. Let's first start with the fact that they are trying to sell these 2 allosaurs' as a weapon, which already is a bad idea since they are supposed to be really smart, but apparently don't do as they are told. They also are taking a huge risk that one or both of these creatures could end up being killed, which there goes your profit. Next, let's also take a quick moment to talk about the design of these allosaurs' cause it's bad. Aside from the subpar CGI, they have the biggest hips, so these are killing machines that probably won't be able to walk in a couple years due to massive hip dysplasia. Another huge plot flaw is the list of countries bidding that supposedly have a GDP to afford them. They could have at least done a quick google search to see which countries could afford them, but they start the bid at a half a billion and that's only for 1 of these dinos! While some of the countries that are listed are believable, I have a really hard time believing that Kosovo, Cyprus, and Moldova can afford this.

This movie's really only redeeming quality is that it's fun to riff. If you enjoy watching a movie to laugh at with friends, then you'll have a great time with this, but aside from that, then don't waste your time with this.

So Bad that I loved it

[nickybk-98095 · 9/10 · 13 October 2022]

This is terrible in every single sense. Acting, CGI, Sets, props, literally everything is abysmal. It is all shot in Extreme Close Ups so you get the sense that at no point was permission granted to the filmakers on any location so its all super close ups. I was ill on the day I watched this and its perfect for one of those sick day movies that makes you feel a little better about yourself. The best bits are the Dinosaur shots they made me howl with laughter. Safe to say that Michael Crichtons trust fund babies are safe in the knowledge that Triassic Hunt will not take over the Jurrasic Park franchise.

Wow

[sylven_1999 · 7/10 · 8 February 2021]

Horrible CGI, horrible plot line, horrible acting, horrible set, damn it was so bad that I loved it!

Simply horrible - and not in a good way.

[susiewtsn · 1/10 · 8 July 2021]

Even schlock has its limits, so this is just too bad, in every way.

Not horrible

[chrissiemk · 5/10 · 16 November 2021]

I watched it to see what could get this low of a rating. I ended up finishing it all. It doesn't have Hollywood finishes, glamorous talent or great CGI. The story is a partial ripoff as that is what Asylum does. But all in all, I actually enjoyed the story.

Production and Actors are all Braindead

[christoph-krause · 1/10 · 16 October 2021]

Honestly, anyone giving this mess more than one star must be braindead just like anyone involved in this during filming. How can anyone have thought, we want to publish the movie like this? What the heck is wrong with you?

So sad

[lunkentuss-49303 · 1/10 · 25 September 2021]

All you can think about when seeing this is how can anyone use their money to make this? No sane person would invest in this.

Seen it all before

[Leofwine_draca · 3/10 · 11 November 2022]

Another cheapo dinosaur flick from The Asylum, made without sense or merit. The only thing I can say about this one is that the dinosaurs, a pair of generitcally-modified Allosaurs, don't have quite as bad CGI as I've witnessed elsewhere in this genre of filmmaking. The story sees them escape from a compound and go on the rampage, except most of it is just dull characters chatting next to computers. Michael Pare stars alongside scream queen Linnea Quigley. The action sequences are derisory, the acting as wooden as it gets, and the dialogue as stiff as a board. The scene of the dinosaur randomly on the fire escape made me chuckle...

Worse movie I've seen.

[rickjervis-38971 · 1/10 · 3 January 2022]

Jurassic Park rip off poorly done.

Script= lame, Acting = terrible, watch it like it's a comedy and it might make it to 3 stars.

Acting budget must have amounted to $100 for the full cast. The acting was just not believable and the casting agent should never work again.

CGI was OK, nothing special.

Not enough suspension to hold my disbelief

[0rion9 · 9 September 2021]

Terrrrible. The acting, storyline, delivery, directing, editing - none of it is good enough to suspend my disbelief long enough to get me to keep watching it. Can't even finish saying wtf before I'm interrupted by another wtf moment. Only the women and Asian guy look like they should be cast here. If you're looking for a recent film from The Asylum, watch Aquarium of the Dead, and take a pass on this one.

3 more years training, lead actor could qualify as a mail carrier

[mrhwlr · 4/10 · 25 November 2023]

He'd only lose 10% of the mail. If Dino eats lead male before he says a word, then this movie would rate 7 or 8, but he lives and his delivery of the script is as talented as a red eyed mailman delivering Christmas packages. Dinosaurs are integrated well into the film, sad that the lighter the actor, the quicker they become munchies. I should've died a long time before Have pity on a dinosaur hand me my hat Excuse me man, but where's the door? Used to be I had a lotta fun in this old hangout We'd get stoned at the jukebox and stay out of fights Now and then we'd light a little smoke in the truck out back Aww, then a little old Jim Beam and we'd get right And you know these flashing lights sure make me dizzy And this disco's very strange to my ear It looks like they've turned the longhorn into a spaceship And I'll be leaving just as soon as I finish this beer.

OMG!

[laineyd-15587 · 1/10 · 13 June 2022]

It's SOOO bad, the only way you can even watch more than 5 minutes is if you think of it as a comedy!

And what's with always showing the cheesy footwork?

(still laughing)

Suspend disbelief and enjoy

[silvrhairdevil-79247 · 8/10 · 20 August 2021]

I only watched this to see how horrible it could be, given the low rating.

Okay, it wasn't great but it was entertaining. If you're the type who likes to pick out plot holes and other errors, you can have fun with this. And, I've seen way worse CGI.

Nice Surprise

[jkuras2010 · 7/10 · 26 June 2022]

This movie was really good. It started out with a thrilling opening scene and continued throughout the movie. It was well done and to my delight, the language was clean.

They held my interest throughout the entire movie.

An interesting theme and interesting scientific premise.

Deserves a decent rating of 7.

The Movie is just borderline terrible

[jaradpicasso · 1/10 · 20 March 2022]

The movie was recommended to me by a friend but as I started watched I disliked it from the beginning to cut the long story short the movie is a "Low budget Piece of crap attempt to make a movie"

Rrrrrttt

[jhonjatenjor · 10/10 · 1 April 2021]

This film proves that wonders can be made with passion and not with a big budget.

Harrison Paul stands out.
