AGE OF DINOSAURS

Cinemavixion Review

Joseph J. Lawson's "Age of Dinosaurs" plunges viewers into a thrilling, albeit familiar, prehistoric pandemonium set against the backdrop of Los Angeles. The film posits a near-future where advanced tissue regeneration technology allows for the resurrection of dinosaurs, a scientific marvel that inevitably devolves into a terrifying spectacle. When these ancient creatures break free during a promotional event, the city becomes a battleground, forcing a former firefighter into a desperate race against time to rescue his daughter and contain the escalating threat. Anchored by a solid performance from Treat Williams and featuring Ronny Cox and Jillian Rose Reed, the ensemble cast navigates the chaos with commendable conviction. The narrative, while leaning into established tropes of the 'creature feature' genre, delivers a fast-paced sci-fi thriller that emphasizes explosive action and the visceral terror of facing rampaging dinosaurs. Despite its modest budget, "Age of Dinosaurs" succeeds in creating moments of genuine suspense, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of high-octane, dinosaur-centric adventures.
