Of course, the US is concerned about that, but fortunately, the president (Heath C. Heine) has an idea: To order untested weaponry from Russia to take care of the situation. Sounds like a bad idea, but it gets even worse when this weaponry turns out to be dinosaurs equipped with guns. Now of course, the dinosaurs are remote controlled - that is, until they catch the virus, and that nixes out the control mechanism, and suddenly dinosaurs armed to the teeth are on a rampage through the country, and if they somehow get their paws on the nuclear arsenal, it might lead to an even bigger disaster. So the US sends in a SWAT team - but with all blunders so far, who's to say that the SWAT team isn't only accelerating the run to utter disaster?<p> <p>Now there's a good chance you'll ask yourself "what the fuck?" after reading above, and objectively one can't blame you. That said though, in <b>Jurassic Thunder</b> the totally far-fetched, comic booky plot really works in the film's favour as it doesn't just try to shove another wild concept down your throat but pays loving hommage to trash science fiction and comicbooks, and really milks its contrived premise for comedy value while adding tons of political satire to the mix. So there's not just plenty of dino action in this movie, some actually really well conceived, there's also penty to laugh about, and some content that, if you remove the comedic layer, actually gets you thinking. Most of all though, the film's lots of fun, and way better than a film with dinos with guns is supposed to be. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2020"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
