Cretaceous Park

Rating: 4/10 (12 August 2003)

All right, maybe I'm super picky because I used to aspire to be a paleontologist, but has anyone else noticed that almost every dinosaur in this movie is from the cretaceous period. While I understand that "Cretaceous Park" is not the catchiest of titles, why couldn't they at least use dinosaurs from the Jurassic period if they were going to call it by the title they chose. In any event, aside from dino details getting on my nerves, the movie wasn't any kind of steaming crap pile or anything. I think my favorite thing about the movie is the soundtrack. It has it's funny moments, i.e. (when the guy gets eaten off the toilet, etc.), and it's rather suspenseful moments with the raptors. Overall, I enjoyed it when I was a kid, (except for little things like the fact that I knew that velociraptors were the size of chickens), but now, having gotten a little older it doesn't quite excite me the way it used to. It's a decent movie for what it's worth, but nothing too incredibly special.
