Contender for the cheesiest Asylum film ever made
13 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
AGE OF DINOSAURS is undoubtedly the cheesiest Asylum film I've yet watched, and there are plenty of contenders for that category. This is a shameless rip-off of JURASSIC PARK with almost exactly the same set-up and execution, right down to the Veliciraptor-emulating dinosaurs stalking a girl through a stainless steel kitchen. The last twenty minutes take the action on to the streets and rip off THE LOST WORLD in turn, and it's all ridiculously and gloriously stupid.

This film cries out to be treated as an unintentional comedy in much the same way as the SHARKNADO films. The whole thing is ridiculously bad, from the cheesy acting to the cheesy direction and even cheesier dinosaurs. CGI effects are used copiously as expected, and they're all rubbish. The most surprising thing about this production is the two old-timers they roped in to appearing. First up is a grey haired Treat Williams, still playing the action hero in his advancing years; second is Ronny Cox in another typecast villain turn (after ROBOCOP and TOTAL RECALL), looking so aged as to be almost unrecognisable.
