Verdict on Kingdom of the Dinosaurs
Kingdom of the Dinosaurs is a sci-fi horror that uses a mix of the destruction of war and dinosaurs to throw us into an apocalyptic world. This makes the film have a zombie feel, with how everything is created, would be the base plan for a zombie movie, but this time using dinosaurs.
When it comes to the core story, it is as simple as a small group needing to leave safety for resources. The risk will have casualties and the home base also comes under attack. Nothing really feels that fresh and it is more waiting to see how the characters will get picked or fight back.
The effects work well for the low budget, with some dinosaur shots looking great, while others do not. When it comes to the dinosaur actions, it tends to go against everything we have seen in the Jurassic Park franchise.
Final Thoughts – Kingdom of the Dinosaurs is an easy-watch sci-fi action movie.
