Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Wuchak RELEASED IN 2015 and directed by Ari Novak, "Cowboys vs Dinosaurs" chronicles events in modern-day Montana after an accidental explosion at a mine somehow unleashes dinosaurs to terrorize a small mountain town. Western dudes & babes in Daisy Dukes team-up to defend the populace.Like 2010's "Triassic Attack," this is basically a TV-budgeted "Jurassic Park" taking place on the mainland rather than a tropical island. It's not as 'good' as "Triassic Attack" story-wise, but it has superior locations (breathtaking, actually) and women (just as breathtaking). Heather Foote and Sara Malakul Lane stand out in the female department; Casey Fitzgerald also has a notable role. The other women are lousy actors (term used loosely), not that cutie Heather is great, but she's okay and certainly pleasing to the eyes. Sara as the girl-next-door mine manager is a revelation. Rib Hillis and John Freeman are effective as the 'cowboy' protagonists, in rivalry over Sky (Fitzgerald). They have a quality confrontation in the first act while Hillis and Fitzgerald have a surprisingly moving scene in the last act. I say "surprisingly" because you wouldn't necessarily expect good drama in a low-budget, slightly goofy dinosaur flick like this.The dinosaur CGI is actually decent, but other CGI is lousy, like cave-ins, explosions and fire. The story needed the kinks worked out and some scenes are dubiously executed. These factors explain my relatively low grade. THE MOVIE RUNS 89 minutes and was shot in Livingston and Emigrant, Montana. WRITERS: Anthony Fankhauser & Rafael Jordan. ADDITIONAL CAST: Eric Roberts has an entertaining bit part while Vernon Wells plays the mine mogul. Kelcey Watson is on hand as the black gunslinger. GRADE: C (4.5/10)

lokithemystic He rode a triceratops like a bull and that's all I wanted from this movie. 10/10. there was terrible acting, and terrible CGI. I was expecting this from a movie called Cowboys vs Dinosaurs though. but all in all, if this movie came out in 1996 this would be a classic. I loved it. it was stupid as all get out, but fantastic in its own way.

vlkenning only if you really want to totally waste an hour and a half of your life watching poorly written, poorly acted crap. Dumbest thing I ever forced myself to sit through. It is an interesting idea, but deserved better work from writers, producers, casting and actors. The borrowed raptors from other films did their parts as one might expect, but the stage make-up of the deceased may have been done by a seven-year-old girl.

beemfx It's absolute garbage. Absolute trash. It was really good right up until the very end, and then it was like it didn't know what it was anymore. This is a film about dinosaurs eating people. No one is watching this because they want to see a human hero, they are watching it because they want to see dinosaurs eat people. The dinosaurs in this film are who you are rooting for, not some dumb a-word dude and his love interest.Let me tell you at the end of this movie no less than three human beings are alive. Not one human alive. Not two humans alive. THREE human beings are alive at the end of this movie. It's the absolute worst.Even at the end I was just about to applaud because there was a surprise, but then... Cut to credits. WTF? Cut to credits...Here's what the ending should have been: The happy couple is standing together proud of themselves for defeating all the dinosaurs. Then, out of nowhere and with no explanation as to why it was there... a giant dinosaur shows up, and one bite is all it takes. Their legs are all that is left and the legs wobble a bit and fall over and then cut to credits and let the audience applaud.Instead it's some crappy ending where a final dinosaur appears and it could be taken either way, maybe they'll all die, or maybe the fight will go on. It just isn't satisfying, and that is the difference between one star and ten stars.Don't get me wrong there are some applause worthy moments in this movie. Not a lot, but enough. It's just the ending is so terrible that all you can do is feel bad that you sat through the whole movie for that.
