totally amazing. the fact that some of yall were actually expecting a good movie is beyond me.

1) its on sci-fi 2) its called Pterodactyl

that told me all i needed to know. watch this movie while drinking a few beers and laugh my butt off. and that i did.

the scene at the ravine near the end is pure class. "lets tie a rope around a sheep...and use that as an anchor. surely that will work!" somehow the weight of a 30 pound sheep supports the moving weight of a 190 pound man. awesome.

and its coolio for God's sake. coolio. the dude must be crazy struggling for money. poor fella. hopefully he got a cool couple thousand for this amazing performance as an army sergeant. bang up job. nobody can shoot thousands of rounds into the air at flying dinosaurs and miss with the intensity you put into it.

and the horrible CGI of the birds is just top class. them flying is just hysterical. the awkward flapping of their wings had me laughing from the very first time to the very last. unbelievable. total genius work by jonny mcclueless.

and WHAT HAPPENED to the kid they left behind in the house?!?! that bugged the crap out of me. sure, he probably got eaten, but it was never confirmed. maybe he sacked the hell up and fought off those dactyls. you never know. the chick died...got that. then the dinos were crashing through the house. and yes, he totally looks like he just pooped his pants in fear, but maybe that was the moment that he decided that he needed to become a man. who knows? certainly not us, the viewers, as that is a part of the plot that was forgotten about. tragic.

all in all, this was amazing. so horribly done, yet so fantastic. how someone couldn't see the humor in this is beyond me.
