Prehysteria! (1993)

Admirable film.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is movie favorite movie with Brett Cullen. Plus, this dinosaur movie is a whole lot better, not to mention funnier, than the Jurassic Park movies. First of all, I love how Brett Cullen takes no prisoners towards his kids after the dinosaurs trash his home and when his rebellious daughter sneaks out of the house. I also love the 1969 Ford truck that Brett drives in this movie, along with the vintage furnishings in the house. This should be officially available on DVD along with the sequels that came after this. Watching this and other movies like MY MOTHER'S SECRET LIFE & SHAKMA, both with Amanda Wyss brings back a whole lot of memories.

I really liked this movie if others don't like it, well they are not a kid at heart, I thought of the dinosaurs was cute , the action great, the comedy funny, the actors great, the story line was great too and just about every thing about it, and it was a very good movie for kids and for the adult who are a kid at heart too, but I think it is ashame that they didn't put it on DVD. They put the 2 movies that came after this one on DVD, so why not this one too? I haven't seen the other two movies yet but i think this one really should have been put on DVD too like the other 2.I liked it too, and I hope that somebody else does just as much as I did too.

The life-like miniature dinosaurs are a joy to behold but the humans don't do this film any favours. It's obviously aimed at young children and is therefore awful. The dialogue and acting stinks. So the best way to watch is press the fast forward button whenever the cute dinosaurs aren't in shot. They deserve to be in a much better film. On their account I rate this 5 instead of 1.

For some unknown reason, 7 years ago, I watched this movie with my mother and sister. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard with them before. This movie was sooooo bad. How sequels were produced is beyond me. Its been awhile since I last saw this "movie", but the one impression that it has stuck with me over the years has been, "They must have found the script in a dumpster in the backlot of a cheap movie studio, made into a "movie", and decided that it didn't suck enough, and made it worse. I'm pretty sure that they spent all the budget on camera work and the so called "special effects", and then had 13 cents left toward the script AND to pay the "actors".
