Story:

In the early 1940's Dr. Frank Reeno stumbled upon time travel and in order not to affect the current timeline he sent a crew of 21 people ranging from naval marines 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 no means of return when they stumble upon the idea of using cave paintings to communicate with the scientists back home which is when Dr. Reeno decides it is time to send a search and rescue party back to bring back them to civilisation but again not all goes to plan and they end up bringing a 60 foot long T-Rex back with them!

Review:

100 Million years bc feels like a really cheap under budget film and takes its entire story by merging bits of Godzilla, Stargate and even a bit of Jurassic park thrown into one seriously lacking film! The special effects were especially poor and throughout the film you can see that nearly everything has been filmed in blue screen and hasn't even made that good use of that technology either.

The perfomances from the cast were again really lacking in both imagination and overall ability which really doesn't help to improve this poor story at all and i cant actually remember anything about the soundtrack at all which must mean that that was quite poor aswell.

In fact the only thing in this entire film that i thought was done even the slightest bit well was the representation of the actual dinosaurs and they did look quite good but the methods used to insert them into the film however really weren't and its for that reason as well as countless others that i would not recommend this to anyone its boring poorly made and has next to no action content in the whole film which sucks being as it is supposed to be an action adventure film!

Not one for me, but nicely reviewed

I think I'll wait until they put it on television, then if it's as bad as you say it can be switched off and no money wasted!

I started to watch this film, but got bored quickly so I turned it off. I've had a similiar experience with a film which is basically a rip-off of Transformers. Nice review!
