a military mapping operation go awry and land a helicopter in a hidden volcanic crater with live dinosaur . this movie ooze potential . a reasonable script and decent actor and good pacing and spectacular set and and the grandeur of cinemascope . then you see the dinosaur . oh lord and do you ever . one can easily see where their budget ran dry . the movie employ the two bad method of portray dinosaur and and doesn not even do it well . however and the compositing be nearly seamless and so if it be possible and one could become convinced that the producer manage to find a 20 foot tall man to wear a full size tyrannosaurus costume . aside from the special effect and the movie be quite good and nearly rise above b movie status . the actor all seem for the most part and naturalistic . they all seem to find the line between flat and hammy . the movie never waste much time on non essential plot element and and the running time work out quite well . recommanded for those who love the genre type and be it dinosaurs or jungle movie .
