Oh yeah, scientists with streaked hair, nose rings and bright purple lipstick, black nail polish, yet surrounded by strong looking military men, yeah, that's believable. Then there's the women who are transported back in time, obviously some of whom hate each other and could easily rip the other ones in half just like the dinosaurs will do to some of them. Yeah, that's the definition of teamwork. Then there's the photography, so close to their face that you can see their pores.
I get more of a thrill out of these films while reading other reviews and watching the film along with it, because that little added aid turns these films from sci-fi disasters into comedies. I'll give the writers credit for making the crew who go back in the past all women, but they are basically just caricatures and really have no difference from the others in the group. That makes them a boring group to try to root for, and ultimately, the computer generated dinosaurs give better performances.
Certainly if Asylum films had delved into other subject matter and moved away from these type of films on occasion, perhaps you would find something different about them, but they all seem to look like the others, as if they were simply being pushed through an assembly line. Monster or snow storm or flying meteor here, arguments between the leading characters there, a villain coming out of nowhere to either try to rob or kill, and lots and lots of pretentious dialog that someone seems to have stolen from a textbook or made up out of their head and stressed as some sort of truth. That formula is tired, and 20 minutes into this one, I just kept fast forwarding until the next dino attack.
