killer crocs and gator movie be a dime a dozen for every alligator there be lake placid 2. however the concept of a very violent and aggressive crocodile movie get me a tad excite . unfortunately for primeval more hope be dash a we get a tad to much comic relief and way to much political or civil war story and not enough croc action . the story be about a news crew who be send in to south africa to capture a 25 foot long killer croc dub gustave . unfortunately for u the film goer there be a civil war that have break out which we be surround with for much to long of the story run time . be it the tribe in the area or the military men that be with them the movie just really want to hammer that fact home and with the crocodile a the side story . we do get the croc and when it be on screen it be a bad sucker unfortunately they opt for more cgi then you could shake a stick at but it be not of the mummy or mummy return crappiness so i guess we can let it slide to a point but would a prosthetic monster croc be too much to ask for in some of the scene a it would have be more effective . the shame here be that the whole myth and legend of this creature be very cool but ruin by the fact that we hardly see it for most of the running time . i believe total there be about 20 minute at best of croc action . the rest well you get the point . i highly recommend get the original alligator or the less known austrailian croc film dark age a they be more effective and you get to see what the movie intend for you to see . croc and gator action . in the end this be a waste of time and it really be a just there movie with a few good croc scene ( the cage scene come to mind ) . if you have see all the croc movie and want to see another well have at it but for the average horror movie or nature amok fan this one be just not that good . 4/10 represent below average represent a few croc scene that be good otherwise a lame excuse to shove info on south african civil war at u . go figure .
