THE PLOT:

Dr. Jane Tiptree, a brilliant geneticist that feels that the Dinosaurs need never die and with Government funding arranges to bring back the dinosaur through chicken eggs. Because some moron says Dinosaurs are giant chickens. Which we all know is crap theory. Anyway, one of her new and improved CARNOSAURS escape and runs amuck in a small town.

While his big brother is waiting to be set loose on the city. Unless the truth can be unleashed, it could be a new dawn for dinosaurs driving mammals to extinction.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

Roger Cormen has two kind of monster movies, great and crap. This is just a big steaming pile of crap. Let's start, the effects are okay, no Jurrasic Park. But okay. The size of the smaller one is inconsistant, one scene the smaller one is big enough to snatch a man off the top of a bulldozer, next he's smaller then a car. There are some character issues, but the major complaint. The one thing that spoils it for me is something I like to call THE OTHER SHOE ending. If you don't want to spoil the ending, then stop reading. Anyway, after a final battle with the T-Rex. It looks like the day is saved and everyone lives happily ever after. Then the army shows up and murders everyone. Why? It makes no sense? What's up with the cover up, it makes no sense to murder all these people? Just because the Government paid for it. Makes no sense, it's crap. It's wrong and they would never get away with it. I give CARNOSAUR...THE NOOSE and once I'd to use it.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I totally agree with Zedd on this. The "OTHER SHOE" ending is something Roger Cormen does and each time Roger drops the OTHER SHOE, it will fail. That was not needed to keep the movie open for a sequel. If someone thinks hard enough they can come up with another way, other then a bad ending. I give it...THE NOOSE!

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ DINOSAUR DESIGN (The dinosaur effects was pretty good.)
+ DIANE LADD (She did a good job, why the hell she was this crap ball is beyond me.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- SIZE (The small kept changing size.)
- CHARACTER ISSUES (I had problem with some of the characters.)

...AND FINALLY...

- OTHER SHOE ENDING (The good guy kills the monster in the final battle. But the Government goes and kills everyone anyway, to cover up their invovlment I imagine.)
