Planet of Dinosaurs

“Trapped On A Lost World of Prehistoric Monsters”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Space travellers crash on a world where the local wildlife has considerably better production values than the human drama. The stiff performances and survival squabbles are rough, but the detailed stop-motion dinosaurs are the real stars and deserve every frame they receive.
