But sadly, there’s just no no real interest in utilizing dinosaurs in a meaningful way or really exploring this world. It was unique and had a lot awesome potential for action and world-building. The film presenting a future fights the past scenario with dinosaurs involved was a huge selling point prior to its release. But they mostly feel secondary in terms of being a threat or even just a genuine focus of the film. There are a couple good moments, like Mills fighting off a dinosaur in the dark and dealing with a whole pack of dinos looking to rip his head off. Frankly, it feels like Mills and Koa are fighting off bugs and dealing with environmental hazards more than dinosaurs and it’s incredibly disappointing. However, the film’s prehistoric horror thrills are way too minimal to the point where you question if the film really needed dinosaurs at all. There are some good thrills that let the vicious nature of the creatures that Mills and Koa come across flourish and really scare audiences through some heart-pounding suspense. With how the Jurassic Park franchise has slowly drifted away from its horror roots as time has gone on, there is something exciting about 65 trying to make dinosaurs scary again. With the looming threat of a cataclysmic meteor heading towards Earth as well, Mills and another young survivor Koa (Ariana Greenblatt) are forced to find an escape pod to get off the planet before it’s too late. So rather than see any form of human life, Mills sees gigantic dinosaurs and unpredictable environments that present death around every corner. While Mills has no idea where he is, the film tells us that he’s actually on Earth…65 Million Years Ago. The film sees Driver as Mills, a futuristic pilot whose latest transport job is obstructed by a collision with an asteroid belt that causes his ship to crash-land on a nearby planet. Directing and writing duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, co-writers of A Quiet Place, team up with Adam Driver for an original sci-fi action thriller that has a lot of potential it rarely lives up to.
