Simply A Masterpiece
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The film centers on a hand full of people trying to save Los Angeles from cheesy looking Pterodactyls from outer space...who want their planet back according to the by-line. The military is helpless and only Candice (Candice Nunes) with a pistol and her bar patrons can kill them.I had a number of issues, such as them being called "reptiles" but being able to generate their own heat...of course there may have been another plot hole or two. The film was NOT Asylum or SyFy, but was done in Sharknado style, minus headliners, including the climax. The dialogue was semi-cliché with adolescents in mind.Guide: No sex or nudity. 1-2 F-words. Adult themes such as swapping sex for rent
Terrordactyl (2016) is an action comedy horror film released in 2016 that tells the story of two friends who searched for a meteor and found that the meteor is an egg from a prehistoric reptile. They come from outer space and attack the city of Los Angeles. Chaos occurs where the two men are trying to stop the chaos .. The movie is so ridiculous .. Petrosaur from space ??? Strange storyline, horrible CGI, but this movie is quite entertaining with all the silliness and oddity. Petrosaurs from the sky .. Is there a dinosaur there ??? Another giant creature ??? Or King Kong ...
They fell from the sky! Two buddies, albeit one being a moron, get the chance to save Los Angeles. Lars (Christopher Jennings) and his rubber-jaw slacker friend Jonas (Jason Tobias) hit the bar right after work; while outside the night sky is aglow with a meteor shower. Bartender Candice (Candice Nunes) impresses the dimwit Jonas by talking about how space rocks are worth a lot of money. The two buddies manage to find an odd looking rock and hopes it is worth a fortune. Things turn very sour when the meteor show turns out to be an attack of ancient pterodactyls and Jonas and Lars don't possess a space rock, but a flying reptile egg.You would expect some sleazy CGI, but alas, the special effects are visually pretty solid. Action at times drags, but worst of all is the humor that easily flat lines. You beg for Jonas to be the first to go. His stammering and ignorance brings more groans than laughs. But you know what, I will take this over "Sharknados" anytime.Candice's room mate Valerie (Bianca Haase) is stunning! Also in the cast: Jack E. Curenton, Leo Oliva, Aubrey Wakeling and Victoria Summer.
For those that care to know, I am an average professional male who admits to this guilty pleasure, I enjoy low budget sci-fi / indie action flicks. It doesn't mean I will rave about the movie, or try to defend them as cinematic masterpieces. I will simply admit that I enjoy them as a mild fan of the genre and as a mild diversion from my rat race professional life.Most movies, I admit, aree mediocre and not well made. Some, however, seem to rise above the norm even though they have little work with as far as budget or originality. I feel that this movie is one that does rise above that base line of ho-hum. The premise and plot has been done before. However, the special effects are above what is commonly expected in a movie like this, and I felt the actors did a good job selling the comedy and dialogue. Two landscapers are called on to save the world after trying to cash in on a meteor they found. Needless to say, they found more than a meteor. No cops are armies in Los Angeles, just them and a hot bartender to take on an army of ancient reptilian birds.I enjoyed the flick more than I expected with a title such as "terrordactyl." For a mindless diversion from the rat race of life, and an enjoyable flick for this genre, give it a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.
