Leave your thoughts about Primeval.
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderAs it tries to be two things at once -- a gory monster movie and a dramatic social commentary -- what it mostly succeeds at is being dull and repetitive. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightThe CGI wonks here have created a beaut ... Watching him clumsily gallumpf through the tall grass at top speed in search of vittles is worth a few bucks, at least. |
| Calgary MoviesRyan CracknellThe possibility of commentary is raised but it ultimately is glossed over with cliches and very little substance. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGregory KirschlingPit a reptile the size of a school bus against an American TV-news crew in war-scarred Burundi, and you get "Hotel Rwanaconda," a horror movie interested in cheesy scares and drawing attention to the plight of poor Africans. (So no, Primeval is not the '"serial killer'" film promised by the ads.) |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA mediocre, humorless, old-fashioned creature feature...hobbled by risible effects and a crude attempt at political relevance. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasOwing more to Jaws and Orca than Anaconda ... still suffers from the predictable formula issues that comes with its creature feature roots. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyIt's not exactly good, but it's not bad, and far from boring. |
| IGN MoviesScott ColluraPrimeval walks a fine line between action, humor, and having half a conscience. |
| UGOBrian TallericoPrimeval is bad, but it's never boring, and you can't say that about many of its peers. |
| New York TimesA.O. ScottThe screenplay, by John Brancato and Michael Ferris, tosses out a few chewy bits of B-movie wit, most of them supplied by Mr. Jones, who expresses the ambivalence of an African-American visiting the motherland through a series of bitter jokes. |
