Horror/Thriller ‘65’ | Adam Driver vs Dinosaurs

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Reportedly $91M — with tax credits bringing the net cost down to $45M. Some, however, have questioned whether a tax credit would be quite that generous (i.e., 50%).

Well I wouldn't say you saw $91 million on screen. As much as I enjoyed the movie $45 million seems more appropriate to what we got to see.

Watching this now. I’m about an hour in and it’s ****ing terrible. The special effects look like crap, the exposition at the beginning was really bad and overall it’s just boring. Driver is trying his hardest to make it watchable but I think I might just turn it off and go get a Crunchwrap lol.

Ah damn, really disappointing. I thought this might turn into a cult hit but looks like a no on that front.

Yeah I went into it hoping to enjoy it but everything was just awful. From the cliched hero who takes on a dangerous job to save his sick kid, to the rushed crash sequence (they obviously had a low budget) to poor dinosaur effects… I can see why it got savaged by critics. Sometimes they really do get it right.

Enjoyed this a 2nd time also. It's a good little creature feature and they actually try and make you care about the characters. Apart from some bits of the finale the CGI was pretty damn good I thought. Love the sci fi elements in this also.

Hope Driver takes more roles like this. I would absolutely watch a sequel named The Chronicles of Mills also.

I never did watch this
I almost went for it last week when the price dropped to $2.99, but I figured once it got that low free had to be right around the corner.
Apparently it's on Netflix starting tomorrow so I'll finally check it out.

Having just watched this I agree it was boring. How do you make dinosaurs boring? This is how.

Just saw this today and it was surprisingly short. The daughter background for the male lead was useless, and felt like some lazy way to connect it to the kid that somehow survived the crash. I didn't understand how his daughter was sick and yet he needed to be in a space mission? Did I miss something if he was looking for a cure in space? Idk.

The premise of this was interesting but he was stuck with that little girl, who infairness, helped but it could have been more intriguing, if he was just alone or if he was with a team that could do really interesting stuff in the environment and help him escape. I kinda rolled my eyes, that he was transported to Earth, 65 millions year ago, in the same week, the dinosaurs were gonna be extinct.... like sure. And I'm not even sure if the guy was from the future Earth as they mentioned a different planet in the beginning of the film.

But the film wasn't so bad. Its serviceable. But they really could have done more. Though I didn't mind the lack of dinosaurs.
