Two yard clearance men, a couple of hot chicks and a drunken veteran take on an invasion of terrordactyls from outer space in order to save LA (perhaps the military were on strike!).
The characters are likeable and the film started off promising, however it slows down mid way through and the humour starts to get sillier (a la Sharknado). The creatures are very unconvincing, but perhaps that was intentional.
Some fun to be had but also easily forgettable & not a film that I would watch again.

The premise for this story was obviously stolen from classical cinema, possibly Ishiro Honda's Godzilla films or films of that ilk. A space dinosaur, in this case a Pterodactyl, attacks earth and causes death and destruction in its wake. It's up to a bunch of losers and has-been's to save the world from this menace. I like low-budget, cheesy, and indie. This isn't the best by a long way, but it's a welcome break from all the shark based comedy-horrors I've seen lately. The acting is ham and cheese which is good, by the way it's delivered the actors know that this isn't a serious film which needs to be played straight. I think the script was meant to be funnier but that falls flat on its face if it is the case. The CGI is rubbish for the most part but does have the occasional saving grace, however, give me an actor in a rubber suit stomping on an over-sized model town any day of the week. The pace of the film wasn't brilliant, there were times were I got bored, but at an hour and half it did ok to keep me awake. There are 100 things you could do which are better than watching this, but if you have done all those things and still have some spare time then this won't hurt too much. 3 out of 10.

The film centers on a hand full of people trying to save Los Angeles from cheesy looking Pterodactyls from outer space...who want their planet back according to the by-line. The military is helpless and only Candice (Candice Nunes) with a pistol and her bar patrons can kill them.I had a number of issues, such as them being called "reptiles" but being able to generate their own heat...of course there may have been another plot hole or two. The film was NOT Asylum or SyFy, but was done in Sharknado style, minus headliners, including the climax. The dialogue was semi-cliché with adolescents in mind.Guide: No sex or nudity. 1-2 F-words. Adult themes such as swapping sex for rent

This was no SyFy production it was actually watchable. Acting was acceptable . Barmaid is easy on the eyes, And lets give thanks to the war experienced Marines. Just another reason we need guns and must protect against all threats being foreign or domestic. Granted the 2 landscapers aren't the two sharpest tools in the shed and I just wanted to smack them in the head at times. Plenty of action but being stupid isn't my idea of comedy.I always imagine Pterosaur to all have tails some longer than others. I am guessing it a gender thing; but the lack of tail didn't make the smaller "Terrordactyl" any less scary. I would had like to seen more gore but that is what zombie movies are for.I liked this B movie Indy film. I feel this was good thanks to Don Bitter 111 Visual effects. The CGI wasn't noticeably fake like most shows and movies with a higher budget. I feel the automatic and even pump shotguns should have shell casing discharging; this is often over looked by the director. It would had had a more realistic feel if the streets had more panicking people with car crashes and the highways jamb full of cars. When the streets are desolated it does translate to doom & gloom but also gives a studio instead of on site aura. If you have some time it's worth watching. more fun than washing dishes and some films don't make that cut. I may just watch it again.
