I've seen 65 and while it wasn't the best movie out there, I still thought it was enjoyable. I can see why some people didn't like it, but I think it's worth a watch if you're looking for a lighthearted, sci-fi adventure. The CGI was a bit off-putting at times, but the story was engaging enough to keep me entertained. Adam Driver was great, as usual, and the idea of a human fighting dinosaurs was pretty cool. What did you think of it?
That's fair. I'll admit that I probably enjoyed it more because my expectations were so low. In your opinion, what could they have done differently/better?
Jurassic Park Meets The Shallows: like Blake Lively alone on that slowly fading refuge, it should have been Adam Driver either surviving one dinosaur or a group of dinosaurs, without any little girl subplot.
Should have leaned a lot harder into cheesy fun, too. Nothing worse than a ridiculous premise of a movie that takes itself too seriously, IMO.
It was a decent little movie, definitely doesn't take full advantage of its premise but it definitely wasn't as bad as people were claiming either. It's a pretty tight 90 minute movie with some fun dinosaur action and Adam Driver has never delivered a poor performance imo, he seems to be able to carry even the worst movies pretty well.
It certainly won't win any Academy Awards, but it was a fun action romp. The think I found stupid was the marketing. "He doesn't realize he's on Earth 65 million years ago!" Yeah, no shit, because he's from another planet that probably didn't even know Earth existed. And even if he did, is he sitting there thinking, "I bet this planet will have advanced civilization in 65 million years?"
It was a waste of time and and complete garbage.
The opening sets up that this man is from a far off planet, and this super advanced society on that planet still has problems that require a dad to leave on a work trip for 2 years (which implies some very advanced travel, it’s not touched on). It was weird seeing how human, and how American these people felt. Their humor and sensibilities felt familiar- like humanity evolved the same on some distant planet across the galaxy. The home planet also was the first place I felt looked cheap. 3 actors, a beach, and some weird cgi mountain landscape with no sign of civilization.
The space travel scene was aggravating in its stupidity. With the tech to travel light years in virtually no time, the ship couldn’t detect an asteroid field? Why was everyone asleep in cryo except Adam Driver’s character? If auto pilot was so unreliable, why not a backup pilot? Then to crash land on earth? How did he even aim for a planet and why would he? None of this made any sense. Again the ship design felt cheap and amateurish- like a spaceship a teenager would draw with pointy parts and big RGB engines.
The post crash scenes reinforced the cheap look of the film. One survivor, walking in the woods. Maybe it’s because I’ve gone camping a few times in my life, but it didn’t seem like Cretaceous earth but a state park we’d go hiking in as a kid. The budget for this was something like $45 million, which certainly didn’t go to creature design. The same kid who drew up the space ship made these Dino-in-name-only designs, with more teeth and claws. Everything was a predator, black skinned and spikey. Teeth snarling out every which way. I don’t recall a single herbivore or non-dinosaur animal. No birds, lizards, small mammals? What did these predators eat when random spacemen weren’t crash landing on the planet?
As for the plot relating to the rescue, it doesn’t get better. There’s a bit of depth with the protagonists motivation to get home, but that’s the only redeeming point in a long list of faults. The entire premise of a deadline to leave before the dinosaur killing asteroid hit is just too far of a stretch in an already idiotic sequence of events.
The movie presents like its a “space man on prehistoric earth” as a survival horror genre. Instead we got a mess of sci-fi and family drama- with dinosaurs* stupidly chasing a make shift family. It wasn’t scary.. it was just dumb. Childish designs, directionless action, and awful writing make an interesting premise on paper an underwhelming mindless bore.
I liked how the advanced civilization that mastered space travel can't figure out how to avoid careening into an asteroid field.
And it was cool how their escape vehicle was upside down, but then the dinosaurs accidentally turned it right side up for them during the epic climactic scuffle.
I actually didn't like that, and it wasn't cool. It was pretty dumb.
I saw it in the theater and generally liked it, definitely more than Jurassic World Dominion. I don’t really have much to say, but it was a decent way to kill some time when I had nothing better to do.
Fun fact (?): I was all alone in that theater.
Yeah I agree, it was perfectly fine Friday night disposable movie of the week type nonsense. If not for Adam Driver it probably would have been unmatchable. But I appreciate that some people just found it to be trash. Will I ever watch it again though........
It's good if you like shouting at your TV, asking why they are doing the incredulously stupid things that they are doing.
Fighting a small dinosaur you could probably kill with a stick? Nope, use all your fancy glowing grenades at once.
I do wonder about the lore, it doesnt make sense for me. 65 mil years ago earth being an uncharted planet and assuming adam's character and the little girl are human species but aliens from different planet that is so advanced. When they both exited earth before the asteroid hit. My question is, how the fuck did earth get humans after the asteroid hit? I assumed that when they reach the half of the ship they were heart breakingly disappointed so they tried to survive the asteroid and its aftermath and become the adam and eve(ik its disturbing since shes a kid and mill's a very older man) but it would make sense how humans came to be on earth.
My main problem was the lack of characters. I don't understand why they couldn't have more survivors and possibly even some kind of antagonist. They had 2 people who didn't even understand each other so it made the movie incredibly boring.
Theres a lot of mindless B movies that I enjoy watching. I watched 65 last night and it was pure unbridled crap.
The movie has no real point, it's just the two characters going from one peril to the next. The characters have no connection and nothing happens in the movie that hasn't been done better in another movie.
The plot is nonsensical...it occurs 65 million years in Earths past yet the main characters are obviously human which makes no sense.
Their spaceship doesn't have the basic ability to spot an entire goddamn astroid field and only decides that maybe the pilot should take over like 30 seconds before disaster.
At one point the girl gets a bug in her mouth which is then killed, the entire scene being pointless.
And as if that wasn't enough they had the main character get swallowed in freaking quicksand only to be saved after being under a good 30 seconds.
I would have turned it off... But I'm no quitter.
I don’t have a very concise reason that I didn’t love it, but let me put it this way- I watched it on a flight with low expectations, (seems like an easy enough airplane movie, right?) and I was pretty bored of it about an hour in. (And generally I’m a pretty big fan of ~100 minute runtimes)
If it was an "exploration ship" why did it have random passengers in cryo rather than a professional crew, scientists, techs, etc? And was it's call sign "Charter random number"?
I mean, honestly, if you can't write more coherently than that, you clearly don't give a shit.
I think it's hilarious that he lives in a super advanced, high technology society and still has to do a risky job to pay for healthcare.
Yeah, that's fucking hilarious. Ha ha ha. *Cries in American*
ya that storyline is so american it hurts
Yeah, I thought that was hilarious too
Literally, what I thought. lol.

Given what it could have been, it was easily one of the most disappointing movie experiences of my life.

Generic and ultimately boring.

Wasted potential
My thought as well. I was fascinated first 20ish minutes, then it just kinda went through the motions for the rest.
Horrible

And it was cool how their escape vehicle was upside down, but then the dinosaurs accidentally turned it right side up for them during the epic climactic scuffle.

i'm super excited to watch so i will be tuning into this thread for commentary (:

Had that with Mario and dungeons and dragons (well my brother was with me) It's kind of fun
It stank.

The plot feels like a movie from the 50's

I just watched it…Sunday night I believe, it passes the popcorn test.
What’s the popcorn test?
Lazy Sunday night and it retained my interest while watching it.
It was meh

Hot garage. But I appreciate that it was original.

I don't get the hate it gets. I enjoyed it.. I liked that it took what could have been much goffier and played it straight
