Carnosaur 3

First of all, there're only about 30 seconds of total moving carnosaur footage in this movie, and I'm not kidding. The reason is obvious, this is not a high budget film that can afford expensive CGs to animate the dinosaurs. So they have to be really creative in trying to make a rubber dinosaur look like its moving, and they attempt to do this by quick cuts, shaky camera motion, and lots of strobe lighting. So this movie ends up being lots of marines being scared, acting dumb, and shooting lots of bullets, and almost no footage of the dinosaur itself. From start to finish, it's one scene after another of scared marines, and usage of America's favorite solutions to any problem of this sort - military force. It's a pretty dumb movie even for a movie of this sorts. You will be solely disappointed if you are looking for a good dino action in this one.

Everything in this film is bad , the story , the acting , the effects but its funny , funny , funny !!!Scott Valentine with the army uniform thats ten sizes too big is so bad with the permanent attempt at a scowl on his face as the leader of a special ops group its hilarious ! The ''terrorists'' are as scary and realistic as the ''raptors'' , this is so phoney and bad at everything it tries you have to laugh .The part where the giant T-REX who somehow snuck on board a ship and then somehow got below is blown up and you see the metal pole sticking up where its head was is the perfect ending .If your into bad films , this is the pot of gold , the mona lisa of b-b-bad !!!

Well here I go with another B industry movie. It's sad enough to see some badly made films but I don't care if a B industry or C industry produces the film. Show some effort in your work. The characters are really bad. The acting isn't in question in this one (surprise), but plot is. How can a tight-knit squad witness two of their fellow soldiers butchered, and then go on as if nothing happened. What sickened me was how the writer even threw in the remaining members a scene where they joke about how nice the doctor's ass was. Give me a break.

All Jurassic Park fans should love this. It's a low budget Jurassic Park only scarier and gorier. It starts off with a few pathetic terrorists trying to steal Uranium to build a weapon but when opening what they've stolen they find out that it's 2 Velociraptors. They've also stolen an asexual reproducing T-rex which appears later in the film. Their mistake proves fatal. The army investigate it. They find out about the Carnosaurs but they have to capture them alive. This proves difficult. The special effects weren't great but at least they didn't hide the dinosaurs so the audience could barely see them. This film is gory so if your squeamish avoid this film at all costs and there is enough gore to satisfy gore hounds. This film is also scary and suspenseful. I recommend this film to all those people who loved Jurassic Park. If you see it and its cheap, buy it! 8 out of 10.

"CARNOSAUR III: PRIMAL SPECIES" (1996, Winfrey) is the third instalment in the gory film series and the best of the five. John Carl Beuchler's dinosaurs are infamously rubber and waddling/rolling. The chemistry between Scott Valentine and Rick Dean is good and the cast are actually okay. The film is an editorial nightmare. Doors opening and closing in the background, hats on hats off, corpses vanishing and reappearing etc. It's hilarious. Rubber dinosaurs, blood and gore, tension, humour and really strange (sometimes successful) directing, is "PRIMAL SPECIES" in a nutshell.

A series of B movies that unlike the usual formula, actually get BETTER as they go along. I have all 3 Carnosaur films on DVD, and I can be honest about them. The first one almost sucks. Luckily it has a few cool parts and grisly special effects to keep it going. The second one has better story and action, raising the standard of the film to "good", and by the time we reach Carnosaur 3: Primal Species, we've officially hit good, short, dumb fun. With a perfect mix of Dinosaurs (that actually look pretty nice, especially the T-Rex), with good dialog for the kind of movie it is, a second straight to video sequel, lots of action and humor, it makes you laugh and smile with pure middle-of-the-night-entertainment. If you wanna watch Jurassic Park that bad, then watch it, but don't bitch about how this is a rip-off, because it's not. The book that the original Carnosaur movie is based off of, came six years before Crichton's Jurassic Park was published, so back off it, and enjoy it.
