Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It's sad to see how many negative reviews this movie had, especially on rottentomatoes. The acting was well done with „unique" actors and the dinosaurs were simply made beautiful. The story is thrilling and the start and end are matching like a closed circle, yet leaves an open ending which almost forces for a sequel – which I really hope there will be. The only reason I'm not giving 10 stars is exactly because of the ending – it left me at unease because we are left with no clue whatsoever if they did survive, only that they weren't found. I'd even go so far to say I prefer this one over the Jurassic Park series (although there is no T-Rex and, of course, nothing beats the beautiful feeling of nostalgia that overcomes you when you hear the well-composed Jurassic Park soundtrack ) because Jurassic Park is really predictable, especially now with its continuously repeating story lines whereas this one is refreshingly different. Yes, it was predictable from some point on that this one gay went nuts (besides, he played an incredibly convincing „crazy face"), yet there is barely a movie without any predictable scenes – and ironically, the best rated movies are usually the most predictable ones.The Dinosaur Project is an absolute must for dinosaur lovers, don't miss out on it because some people go for Spielberg-Loyalty over actual entertainment.

A British expedition formed by the lead researcher Jonathan Marchant (Richard Dillane), his assistant, a doctor and a TV crew, travels to Congo to seek evidence of a dinosaur. A local guide and the helicopter pilot join the team and the group heads to the jungle. During their trip, they find a stowaway in the helicopter, the son of Jonathan. Soon the helicopter is attacked by flying creatures and crashes in the jungle in the beginning of the last journey of Jonathan Marchant and his team."The Dinosaur Project" is a predictable and lame dinosaur movie, a combination of the clichés of "The Lost World" with the exhausted style of the "reality" of "The Blair Witch Project". It is amazing that the viewer can predict what is going to happen on the next scene, and most of the dialogs are ridiculous. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Projeto Dinossauro" ("Dinosaur Project")

If you expected a Jurassic Park 4, just don't. It was an entertaining movie for those of us who enjoy dinosaurs. Some of the footage is okay, the open ending was a little disappointing but leaves room for the sequel that i'm hoping for. Okay, okay, how the kid in the movie has several go-pro cameras that would cost him at least a grand; they did make the movie. When attached to the dinosaur going through the water it was done well, one of my favorite parts in the movie. But for a low budget film, you should never expect great things, so i'd say it wasn't terrible, that's for sure.

I imagine there are some who may like this movie however I found it to be uninteresting. It reminds me of Cloverfield and the Blair Witch Project and the only thing impressive was the computer generated images. In my opinion the acting was mediocre to good (by most of the cast) but I felt it lacking in many aspects. It had scenes that I felt took away rather than added to the 'suspense' factor. I thought this production was disappointing for the most part. I guess I was expecting more due to the catchy title. Luckily I got it from Red Box and didn't spend too much on it. I'd do the same to preview it before buying it just to see if I would want to invest the money.
