This movie was so much fun! Great to se a American monster scifi film with some originality for once.
I loved the idea that is this movie and I think Adam driver did amazing
The story didn't make a lot of sense to me, but overall, I had so much fun watching it, and it had some amazing visuals. I definitely recommend this for sci-fi and thriller fans!
Sci-fi Jurassic Park. Lots of the same old action movie repetitions. No new ground covered here. Even though the premise sounds different, it feels like almost every other generic action film written. Lazy and unimaginative writing that leans too much on the setting to carry it through.
Fun Adam Driver action flick
Really poor and disappointing. Adam Driver does not have the acting skills or verbal range to pull off the chemistry needed for a wrenching emotional drama. Hence this is a long way short of what the production likely intended as the finished product. Aliens from 65 million years ago look, dress and act exactly like modern day humans was the first hint this was going to be an extremely lazy plod. With the dismally failed ‘grieving Dad gets substitute daughter’ angle raising no interest whatsoever, nothing else actually happens. Just a 15 km walk from crashed spaceship to miraculously preserved escape vehicle with some discarded Jurassic World cut scenes spliced in.
never seen a movie that had less originality than 65. Adam Driver.. did you read the script? How could a Sam Raimi produce this nothingness? I watched it because I do like science fiction, but this is just watching grass grow, just because there's absolutely nothing original or thought provoking.
It's probably great entertainment for people suffering from severe brain damage.
When exactly did we cross the Rubicon of suspension of disbelief? Was it during the writer's strike or was it earlier, during the ridiculisation of politics? It is a sad day when the best of technology, creative direction, and good talent is at the mercy of a script Chat GPT is shaking its virtual head in shame at. Both in film and reality. This is yet another reminder that in both jumping the shark is no longer jumping the shark.
Better than I expected it to be. Slightly budget, but it got better as it went along. Plenty of tense moments and drama. Ultimately, a surprisingly good creature feature.
How can we get behind a captain that is stupid and out of shape in a life and death situation . I stopped counting at 10 stupid moments within the first 20 minutes of this sci fi. I had much higher expectations. It flipped immediately. It makes me wonder if the writers and directors and this main actor ever walked into real woods in their lifetime. If you’re in uncharted areas and aware of deadly apex predators, you are in stealth mode every step. You never walk out in the open, You don’t stand on rotten tree limbs and you don’t allow a child to make one single move without your consent. Just a stupid script. Shame they paid all that money for good special effects just to make an idiot captain the focus of the movie.
I love the main actor , “ Adam “ but this movie was a waste of time. Just not cohesive enough or a good story. And like other sifi. How does their escape pod get working after catastrophic damage is beyond me. And Dinosaurs to boot with crazy stuff and his computer still works. I guess we leave our brains behind for this one. Bad movie. :(.
This movie is riddled with plot holes and scientific inaccuracies, which really takes away from the fun premise. Not even Driver could save it, but it's watchable if you're really bored.
a 65 yo civilisation, but their representative is looking like the next door hipster. skinny jeans, beard, long hair. REALLY? tldr - the worst scifi i ever seen. the gap between the 'potential' and the outcome blew my mind. the atmosphere of 65mya must be a little different, no? try, use some polarising lence, something! same sky? really? they look, talk and behave like us.. why.. there could be so many ways to represent a timeless feature of a society which are ultimately our gods, but no, not the smallest attempt. This guy, along with the little girl, are the only living humanoids he knows of, on a different planet, but hell yea he casually climbs a tree to take a better look, leaving her down there with raptors and what not to feast on her. Again, REALLY?? Out of words, and ultimately stars.. How dare you, Adam Driver, take this part?
Genuinely a waste of time. Somehow, they managed to screw up a sci-fi dinosaur movie with Adam Driver. This film was riddled with issues during production, and it shows in the movie. There is no coherent plot outside of 'escape the dinosaurs'. They don't address the fact that they are on Earth whatsoever. The only two characters in the movie do not speak the same language and consistently have issues communicating to a frustrating, unresolved effect. There are multiple unintentional red herrings throughout this film that will leave you with more questions than answers. It's genuinely a shame because this could've been a really good film. A sci-fi film about Adam Driver crash landing on prehistoric Earth and becoming a progenitor trope would've been great. The elements were there for something incredible, but they dropped the ball on almost every aspect. If you like science fiction, stay far away from this movie.
Every cliche of mediocre writing and film making is present from nonsensical contrivances to poor green screen work. Fun premise but no fun to be found.
Come to expect phenomenal acting from Adam Driver and this was no exception. The two child actors were excellent as well.
This is sci fi that makes no sense at all intellectually and there is little action for those who just watch to see things get shot. Spoiler: the basic plot is that someone crash lands and finds a survivor they must save by treking to a rescue site----nothing new here and done better before.
If you can accept bald, featherless velociraptors, space vehicles where there is somehow 1 g gravitational pull emanating from the floors, dinos which roar at inappropriate times, and the usual lack of any respect for relativity, then you can relax and enjoy the usual amazing Adam Driver performance. In the end credits we see the fiery aftermath of an asteroid collision 65,000,000 years ago with mountains silhouetted in the background, slowly transitioning to modern times where those same mountains are now the backdrop for a gleaming city. The view is reminiscent of the Rockies. However, that would not be possible as the Rockies have only existed a few million years. At the end of the Cenozoic, local topography around the world would be radically different from today. Where do these people think mountains come from? I’ve lost the capacity to ignore commonly known science for the sake of saving a buck on effects. I’m a little concerned we’re raising a generation of kids who will be confused when they see real astronauts floating through the ISS, but it’s probably okay for kids to be confused. Very few really need to know. But we only see science respected in movies very rarely, and so the movie variety of sci-fi is far less “sci” and far more “fi” than it should be. It’s fantasy. Other than for Adam, this movie is beautifully visualized mediocre sci-fi schlock.
65 is generic, predictable and not at all a survival masterpiece. But the sound design and physical design of the creatures displayed, make 65 a somewhat worthy film. Rating: 50% 🟢
