Advantages: It's a pretty decent idea Disadvantages: That's the only decent thing about it
...and Marines to the year 100 Million B. C. as part of an experiment in time travel. Unfortunately, things go badly wrong and the ones that survive the trip are trapped with little hope of return. Despite the team finding a clever way of telling him they don't blame him for this, Doctor Reno still tortures himself, especially as one of the team who has been trapped was his brother, Erik. This is only natural, I suppose; I don't know what their family ... ...lead a team back to 100 Million B. C. to rescue his brother and whoever of his colleagues has survived. As is common in films of this type, they run into a lot of strange animals and situations that they didn't expect or plan for and they also forget that the wormhole they've come through could let the residents of 100 Million B. C. back in the other direction. Equally predictably, it's the biggest and fiercest of them all that makes it through, ...

...the best scientists back to 100 million years BC. This is what gives the film its title. Just as you expected something goes wrong and not all the crew make it back in time. So just what went wrong? They managed to get to 100 million years BC but how do they intend to get back. The group come up with ideas that using cave paintings they will be able to communicate with their scientists back home. If only it was that easy eh. In the end Dr Renno decides ... ...one major problem here..... They accidentally manage to bring a huge man eating dinosaur back to 1940 with them.... The huge man eating dinosaur is then let loose on a 1940 Los Angeles.
If you last the whole film you will be bored for a ridiculous 85mins My Thoughts on this movie
I am no huge film critic nor am I a huge film fan, but anything with dinosaurs in it I seem to love for some reason. The likes of Jurassic park all those years ago ...

... ...to scientists back in time 100 million years unfortunately though some did not make it and a few were found moulded into the various bulkheads of the ship that they were on whilst attempting the time travelling journey however the ship turned up some 300 miles away from its original position so everyone presumed that they had discovered teleportation.
Something went wrong with the mission though and left the team stranded in the dawn of time with ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Bad acting, bad and predictable story line, awful special effects
...in time to the year 100 million bc, something predictably goes wrong and they are trapped there with no hope of return. They come up witha way to comunicate into the future, and later Dr. Reno leads a mission to try and rescue the team, unfortunately this also goes wrong and they manage to bring a large man eating dinosaur back to 1940 with them which is then let loose on LA.
The Film
This is one of the worst films I have seen for a while, ... ...however the way it has been portrayed by the actors and the script it has been ruined, it seems rushed and thrown together. The acting isn't brilliant but I suppose they have done the best they could with a bad script amongst other things, although it seems as though they have all read the script and thought 'god this is awful' and acted that way too.
The special effects are also very poor, in fact there is nothing particularly special about them, ...
