Review of Anonymous Rex (2004) by Wes S — 18 Nov 2012

Nothing like the book, but a pretty enjoyable movie.

Acting is great, with Daniel Baldwin, Sam Trammel, and Fay Dunaway as the main cast, you cant but help to like the characters.

The plot is the biggest like about it. The idea that Dinosaurs surviving extinction and evolving to live among us is pretty original, seeing as I've never thought of that, looking away from the novel. Its sad that this couldnt have been put into a bigger budget. Since it was in a fairly small budget, the visuals (majority being cgi) arent that believable. They aren't terrible, but they arent good either.

You dont really get to see many of the dinos either. All but copies of the main guy, Vinne. Who was apparently a Velociraptor, and his buddy (Daniel Baldwin's character) the Triceratops. The only feral/wild dinosaur that you see in the film is a Velociraptor. While Vinne is looking in a storage locker, one pops up eating a carcass, and aftee seeing Vinne, attacks him.

Overall this movie is pretty enjoyable. Deserving an acceptable 3 stars.
