Just passable

This story of a mother dinosaur going mad at humans because of the abduction of its young... Well but let's begin at the beginning. Two teams of men are sent to an island not far from Costa Rica inhabited by several species of dinosaurs that Man re-created there (how, when and with what purpose?) to (study them? make some kind of research? hunt them? All the three?). There began at once a fierce fight between predator dinosaurs and men (the worst predators in Earth after all) in a series of thrilling episodes and scenes full of suspense most of them very implausible (even taking for granted the presence of dinosaurs as natural and real). That is to say we have here another action thriller of a fight between men and more or less fantastic predators not worse and not better than lots of other movies of the same kind. A word of praise however, for the dinosaur special effects which are technically very well made and quite convincing in visual terms.
