dilophosaurus
the movie has received mixed reviews from critics. the financial times awarded the film 4 out of 5 stars (80%) and called it "rip-roaring fun...feature debutant sid bennett's motion-capture movie also does emotion capture. you will jump, gasp, grimace, just like the characters. the creatures are often very creepy. the cloverfield-style dependency on "found footage" means everyone on screen must have a camera, but even that is carried off with dash and nonchalance." digital spy awarded the movie 3 stars out of 5 (60%) and labelled it "decent found-footage caper...the dinosaur project is good and undemanding fun. there are enough sharp claws to overcome the flaws and ensure this is never a dino-bore... the guardian wrote 'the cgi monsters are surprisingly convincing and children will identify with the intrepid 15-year-old lad who stows away on his dad's helicopter and turns up trumps by using his computer wizardry." katie fraser of screenjabber.com awarded the film 3½ stars out of 5, writing "if you don't mind the shakiness of the found-footage genre (beware – a headache is likely), definitely go see this film if not for the computer-generated dinosaurs. it's no jurassic park, but they did create some pretty cool-looking prehistoric monsters." total film awarded it three stars out of five and said "though it's desperate to be the next jurassic park, there's little spielbergian bite to this low-budget brit flick. instead we get wobbly cameras and equally wobbly acting from a cast of unknowns as a group of explorers hunt dinos in the congo...its money shots generally impress, and the breakneck pace bounds over a multitude of sins – including park's deadly dilophosaurus getting a makeover as a cute little critter that'll have the nippers cooing." ign awarded the film 4 out of ten and said "writer-director sid bennett does manage to eek moments of tension out of the premise, and the vast african vistas glimpsed throughout are a joy to behold...a found footage flick that disappoints at just about every turn, and makes you wish the tapes had remained lost." the independent awarded the film two stars out of five and said "the script stinks like dino-poo... but for all the silliness you may find yourself entertained." sfx awarded the film two and a half out of five stars and said "...has just enough charm to be worth a look – particularly if you have kids who like watching giant reptiles eating people...a few unexpected twists that mark it out as interesting (the running order of the deaths isn't quite what you'd expect, for example) and the dinos are a cut above most films of this nature – particularly one little cutie who's basically dino-lassie. admirably, the vast majority of the action is shot on location, with some white-water rafting to spice up the scenes with no reptiles in. despite the plus points, though, it's still a cheesy, childish adventure which tries very hard not to be the tv movie it actually is." empire magazine awarded the film two stars out of five and said that the film was "more terra nova meets sanctum 3d than jurassic park meets cloverfield." on its international cinema release, debuting in south east asia, the movie was a commercial hit, entering the malaysian box office charts in second position behind "the expendables 2". on its release in thailand, the dinosaur project attained third spot.
the dinosaur project
one of the most iconic depictions of "tyrannosaurus" in film was in 1993's "jurassic park", where dinosaurs including "t. rex" are brought back to life using blood from fossilized mosquitoes. in the film, the dinosaur breaks free of its theme park enclosure, and proceeds to roam the park after attacking the visitors and killing one (a lawyer). in the film's finale, the "tyrannosaurus" indirectly saves the main characters by killing the "velociraptors", who had been hunting them through the visitor center. the popularity of "t. rex" has long had a reciprocal effect on dinosaur science; the popularity of "jurassic park" factored into the discovery of the dinosaur genus "scipionyx"; fossils of this genus had lain in storage in a basement in italy until the film's release attracted attention from the fossil owner. two "tyrannosaurus" appeared again as primary antagonists in "", the sequel to "jurassic park". in "jurassic park iii", it appeared briefly in a confrontation against the main antagonist, "spinosaurus", only to be killed by it. in a twist, the same "tyrannosaurus" from the original 1993 film appears as the climactic protagonist in "jurassic world" (2015), making an entrance by smashing through a "spinosaurus" skeleton. against the odds, it defeats the "indominus rex," with the assistance of a "velociraptor", dubbed "blue," and a "mosasaurus". this specific "tyrannosaurus" reappears in "".
