Customer Reviews of Carnosaur
CARNOSAUR RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A mad scientist named Dr. Jane Tiptree (Diane Ladd) mixes dinosaur and chicken DNA together and hatches meat-eating dinosaurs (carnosaurs) from chicken eggs. Okay, she only hatches Velociraptors and T-rexes. She lets them loose on a Navada town, and the carnosaurs begin to eat people. She also makes a virus that makes women give birth to carnosaurs! Who can stop them? Doc Smith, a former doctor that guards construction equipment, and Ann Thrush, an enviormentalist. Okay, the special effects really, really bite. But the other stuff, plot, acting, screenplay, direction, are all fairly good. I love this movie, and I love it's sequels, too. Favorite Part: Doc and Ann battle a T-rex with bulldozers.
Well, wasn't that special!
The film isn't that bad. It's kind of interesting. The special effects (if you could call them special), however, aren't up to the standards established by "Jurassic Park." I mean what did you expect? But "Carnosaur" is quite impressive and entertaining. You'll probably like it if you're fond of Godzilla movies.
The story of "Carnosaur" is about a female scientist (Diane Ladd) who wants to put an end to humanity and return the world to the dinosaurs, "The Age of Wonders." The dinosaurs are returned to the world at first by injecting DNA into chickens. The dinosaurs then hatch from the chickens' eggs. Later, a virus is formed, infecting people and causing women to give birth to the behemoths.
The end to the film is not what one would expect, but if you enjoy some-what low-tech special effects, far fetched storys, and violance that's kind of cheezy, then "Carnosaur" is the one for you.
Who knew chickens would bring down mankind?!?!
This is the story about how a crazy female scientist uses chickens in an attempt to destroy mankind. After years of research, she creates a chicken egg that hatches...a dinosaur! This is all nice and quiet and out of the government's reach, but sadly when a truck driver escapes with an egg inside a crate full of chickens. He then proceeds to escape and eat the residents of a southwestern town. The tables have turned! Now it's the chickens' turn to dip humans in sweet-and-sour sauce!
Unfortunately, a drunk and down-and-out construction worker (who is battling local hippies who don't like people moving dirt because, after all, the dirt was here first) discovers bodies and encounters the carnosaur, then goes to meet the scientist who created the thing. He discovers that she has created a plot to destroy mankind. Sadly, all this is after forty-five minutes into the film. The next half hour is the scientist (played by Diane Ladd) blabbering on and on about how humans stink and the planet belongs to the dinosaurs (hey it's not our fault they can't survive one stinkin' meteor!). This made the film absolutely BORING! For the love of god, lady, SHUT UP! I was yelling at our hero to just shoot her so the scene would end! Diane Ladd is no Marlon Brando, and Dr. Tiptree is no Colonel Dax. I think the writer knew he had a cool idea for a sci-fi plot, then just overindulged himself.
The film in general is just bad. Bad affects, horrible filmmaking (Roger, encourage your directors to PLAN their shots), and a script that is creative in it's content but fails to deliver. Yeah the idea was cool and the twist ending surprised me but...it's just a bad script. Maybe it was all the stupid side-jokes like, "Dinosaurs ruling the planet...that would make a great theme park." BOO!!
There is one reason to see this movie: the part where the hippie says to the dinosaur, "Peace, green brother!" Ah, such fine last words...
