Primeval Reviews

Sep 17, 2024

Acting is okay at best, logic is basically non-existent and the plot is good enough. It's a good movie to have as background noise if you're talking or on your phone. It's lame that Orlando Jones' character dies but Brooke Langton's character, who does one dumb thing right after the other, lives. Only positive is that the dog survives and that's why this is getting 1 star instead of half.

Couple of cool scenes, and surprisingly ok looking crock. Took another way with some horror tropes so thats allways nice. But sadly still just boring and pointless movie that feels hollow and didnt captivate my intrest.

A weird mix of ideas that never work. I wish Langton and Jones got better material than this.

What a film! Despite the movie playing off as weird or unusual, this is an absolute must-see for people who are fans of killer animal movies. The story is so good that it makes up for all the weird moments and scenes. 10/10, and an accurate representation of a true story.

First watched this when I was a kid.Still entertaining.Pretty enjoyable movie.Sub plot keeps movie flowing.Not like a typical killer croc movie.There are some questionable things.The environment is not 100% accurate to the real location.You can get a better idea about what I say by watching the documentary called "Catching the killer croc".This movie is inspired on those events.

It's a fairly fun killer Croc movie, based on a true legend. It's gets a little too dark, self-serious and preachy, but it's got some cool sequences and surprisingly good effects.

“If I have to shove you up my ass to get you through customs, you are going to America.” Orlando Jones delivers a lot of funny lines. 2 stars just for his lines. The movie itself earns fewer.

For a B movie creature feature it's cheesy fun.

I don't know why this movie has an 18% because it deserves a 50% or above

A movie based on true life events but full of commedy Unrealistic crocodile sprinting Swahili is not widely spoken there so that was a miss. Good actors. Forced events especially kills made by Gustave seemed convenient for the writer in order to remain with two main actors. Saving the dog at the end after a rape attempt and killing of all her crew was unrealistic.

I saw this film in 2008 and it was a bit weird to say the least. Without expecting anything this is what I made of it: Primeval is about a giant monstrous crocodile terrorizing a village and believe it or not it is a true story. There actually exists a beast of this sort and even has a name- Gustave, which makes the thoughts even more harrowing. Anyway, the film is alright- I barely have any recollections but it is a decently made B movie. The shots with the croc were quite good. I am going with a 4 stars but I feel just because of the rarity of the subject you should give this one a shot.(Okay execution unbelievable fact which formed the basis of this film ).

Not the best movie. It's alright. The only reason I am posting this review is because idiots don't think it's real. While not a true story Gustave is a real killer croc who is probably still alive and very very big. If you want to learn more about Gustave watch some National Geographic stuff. The croc is real and does kill for sport. Nobody really knows why. Some scientist think he's an asshole.

Terrible movie. It tries to be an anti-war message in relation to Africa and a crocodile monster movie at the same time and accomplished neither, resulting in a dull, grim, boring film with excessive gore and terrible CGI with poor performances.

I wanted to give this movie between two and a half and three stars. Cause it has some okay points, but also it's shitty points. It's an alright crocodile film, but it does have it's flaws, but compaired to some of the cheap, terrible croc films out there, this one is at the top, so I don't complain. The acting is pretty good, and the crocodile effects are alright too, and even a little creepy. It's no masterpiece at all, but it's worth a look.

This movie has nothing to do with Crocodiles it focuses mainly on what goes on in the local African population and a war going on. The movie gave the Crocodile less than 10minutes of show time, the rest was about war and poverty. Don't watch this movie if you want a horror film about killer Crocodiles. This movie barely focuses on that and does not do justice to it's synopsis. Don't watch this awful movie.
