3.0 out of 5 stars It's slightly above average 9 Mar 2009
By Bakuryuu Tyranno

It's been interesting revisiting this movie. When I first saw it, I was considerably younger and watching it primarily for kill scenes and Pterosaur attacks and whatnot. More recently I watched it focusing on story quality.

This movie is one of those movies where the title threat appears out of nowhere with no real explanation; something that causes me to think of older b-movies like "The Giant Gila Monster". But I guess in the context of movies like this an explanation isn't really necessary.

Like many Sci-Fi Channel movies there's human villains, but this time the main villain seems more like a plot point than a constant antagonist; as a result there's less of the stupidity Sci-Fi Channel movie villains often cause.

Animal attack sequences in and of themselves get repetitive. The wide action shots where people are shooting at circling Pterosaurs, getting attacked by swooping Pterosaurs, etc. are a lot better than the close-up Pterosaur shots, which at the very least aren't bad by themselves.

As for the protagonists, there are cliched characters and a few generic fodder guys with no personality to speak of but there are still some decent characters. Coolio's performance here was much better than I expected.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bought it for a laugh 27 Jan 2013

I knew how bad this film was before I bought it, and gave it to a friend for a gag present! It has comic appeal, which may or may not have been intended. It was actually better than I expected, better at least than Titanic 2 for example, but still awful. If you're looking for a good film don't buy this. If you're patient and/or looking for something to laugh at, think about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pterodactyl (2005) - Cameron Daddo 14 Jan 2007
By P. D. A. WALDER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I brought this DVD from Amazon.us last year. I have just got round to watching it while on a break from work.

Well I really enjoyed the film, the effects were a bit naff at times but all in all they were good and real life most of the time. There is a bit of blood and guts shown when the Pterodactyls attack, but otherwise the film has a good storyline to it.

The storyline is based on Professor Lovecraft (Cameron Daddo) taking a team of students on an expedition to a dormant volcano where they come across Pterodactyl eggs which have hatched. In other areas of the dormant volcano there are a team of military special ops headed by Captain Bergen (Coolio) hunting down a dangerous terrorist. So not to spoil the storyline it ends up with them all getting together to fight and destroy the Pterodactyls or do they!!!! This is a must buy if you are a fan of movies like Jurassic Park, Godzilla and King Kong.
