Our overview:
One other day, one other Scott Jeffrey manufacturing. And as with among the more moderen Jeffrey motion pictures, there’s a slight enchancment within the total really feel of Jurassic Island. It doesn’t have the stiffness of different Jeffrey outings and no less than it’s not claustrophobically confined to only one setting just like the worst of his choices.
As soon as once more, actress Sarah T. Cohen’s presence elevates the ponderous proceedings barely however on the draw back, she is compelled to undertake a pseudo-American accent that comes and goes at varied factors.
Sadly, the identical can’t be stated for the movie’s feeble makes an attempt at humour, actually atrocious CGI dinosaurs (which truly appear cheaper than those used within the likes of Dinosaur Resort) and a few low-rent gooey zombies. The latter had been presumably shoe-horned into the plot to scale back the variety of prehistoric critters wanted. Whereas this provides a minor quirk to the film, it doesn’t actually add a lot to its leisure worth, which is negligible.
