It should have been a trip to the Bahamas for some team building
exercise, but then their helicopters get into a weird storm that somehow
crashlands a motley crew of work colleagues - Drew (Darrell Griggs), Beth
(Sian Altman), Isaac (Toby Redpath), Jason (Connor Powles) and Philippa
(Chrissie Wunna) - and their two pilots - Andy (Rob Kirtley) and Jenny
(Dorothea Jones) - on an uncharted island, and what's worse, Andy is
gravely injured. But while they're still thinking how to get back to
civilisation, they have to realize they have an even bigger problem: The
island is populated by dinosaurs and other monsters, and all of them are
lethal. Eventually they venture upon a trio of soldiers (Andre Pierre,
James Millen, Amelie Leroy) stranded here on an earlier expedition, but
unfortunately these soldiers are less than interested in helping our
heroes but try to kidnap Andy and Jenny, as they have a helicopter ready
to go but no pilot. However, the local monsters are very hungry, and
nobody is safe from their attacks ... Sure, the premise of this
movie isn't exactly novel or original, and sure, the CGI monsters suggest
not the biggest of budgets - even if the monster designs show tons of
creativity -, but for what it is, the film's pretty cool, it moves at just
the right pace, is tense throughout and has its outbursts of violence in
all the right moments, and isn't as predictable as other films of its ilk
- in fact, everyone's potential monster fodder and even the characters one
roots for aren't safe from dying, some extremely suddenly. So basically,
this one's a pretty fun genre ride for sure.
