Dr Frank Reno (Michael Gross) once worked on the Philadelphia Experiment and his early work left some people including his brother stranded far back in time.Now in 1998 Dr Reno has got the time travel technology working properly and he along with some soldiers travel back millions of years to the early Cretaceous period so he can rescue the team from the 1949 expedition.Dr Reno's team arrives a few years after the time when the 1949 team arrived and they manage to find a few survivors. The soldiers themselves are attacked and some of the are killed by prehistoric creatures.What is left of the two groups of survivors return to the present day but they also manage to bring a T-Rex who follows and causes havoc in present day America.Meanwhile Dr Reno who stayed behind on the pre-historic period somehow time hopped to 1950 and meets up with his younger self and tells him how to use the time technology properly before dying.Young Dr Reno assembles a crack squad of soldiers and leads them through the portal to 1998 where they take on the rampaging dinosaur and send him back through time.Well at the least the film has a plot, some of it rips of Jurassic Park 2 with the dinosaur on the loose. The special effects are poor and so is the acting. Despite the efforts put into the story the script is bad.Another Asylum stinker.

This film puts all of todays modern CGI to shame, Man of Steel eat your heart out! The detail makes you feel as though the play dough looking dinosaurs are really in your room.But its not just the visual aspects of this film which make it so great it has a flowing plot line which would embarrass most comedy sketch shows, one of the most complex and meaningful stories I've come across.It doesn't end there though what really makes this film is the early 20th century robots they employed to act in this film (however they were slightly let down by their 20:20 vision when trying to read off the autocue behind the camera, even I admit there were some momentary glitches!!)This is must for all those film fans who appreciate films such as apocalypse now, the godfather trilogy or shawshanks IT IS ON PAR WITH THOSE!!!

...and the unintentional comedy.I watched 100 Million BC because I had nothing better to do so I thought I could give this dinosaur film a try, and the story seemed fairly intriguing, although unoriginal. Since it's a TV movie, my expectations were pretty low to begin with. Turns out the film was even worse than expected.The CGI was appalling but that's fairly understandable for a low budget production. What really got me was the poor acting, and the terrible, terrible editing and sound. The directing was so bad that I think even I could have done a better job although I have no training in movie making. Also, my advice to the actors is to find another profession. How can they possibly be that bad? If the cast was random people picked up in the street, statistically they couldn't have been this poor. 100 Million BC was probably filmed in a few days and grossly sold off to cable channels that needed fillers.I'm still giving it a 2/10 because the beginning of the film was mildly intriguing, and because Marie Westbrook (yes, I actually looked her up) is a treat for the eyes, the only one in the entire movie by the way.

Terribly flawed plot line accompanied by horrendous CGI. I've seen better special effects in movies from the 80's. I recorded this movie for my 7 year old son because he loves dinosaurs and even he noticed loads of mistakes! We actually watched it right through to the end, we wanted to see how bad the ending was going to be!! True to form, the ending was as unbelievable as the rest of the movie. Because this movie was on TV I didn't see the DVD cover & man am I glad, I would have been a hell of a lot more disappointed than I already am, the cover is very very misleading. I wish I had read all the reviews on this site before attempting to waste my time on this awful awful movie!!!!
