It's not a bad movie, it's just far and away not as good as it might have been. You've got to blame the (sigh) writer/director for that although he did have a hand with the writing which is possibly why it's not as bad as it might have been. First of all it's so derivative - the Jurassic Park series, of course, Running Man, Ender's Game, the Death Race series, and all the YA movies like Maze Runner and the Hunger Games. And loads more. And, yes, it was made on a budget, hence the complain about the poor SFX although for a B movie they're not too bad. I was thinking they must have got a job lot of dinosaur graphics. Anyway, taking all that into account, the story line isn't too bad as far as these things go - I can't believe one reviewer actually said it was original!! - go figure - and it's generally pacy enough to keep you watching, at least with one eye, although you know how it's going to end. Maybe you've got to be in the right mood to watch something like this but it you are, give it a whirl.

It seems this movie is either getting slammed by reviewers who expected Spielberg, or praised by people who just wanted a fun movie. Count me with the latter group. Look, the writing, acting and directing are all better than adequate. The complaints come down to the special effects, ie, the dinosaurs. Yes, the dinosaurs look like virtual reality / computer game graphics. But think about it - that's what they're supposed to be. These people are in a virtual reality game, with virtual monsters, and so I don't mind in the least that the monsters look all digital and stuff. I recommend getting a copy in BluRay from your friendly neighborhood Redbox, or however you like to see HD movies, sit back with some snacks and enjoy it. It's not "Jurassic World," but it's better than a made-for-SyFy movie.

Bad acting, bad script, bad lighting, bad effects, badly thought through... Don't waste your time, should have been a YouTube Movie shot on an iPhone.

Awful film but did provide a great nights sleep as it was so utterly boring.

Was not expecting much from 'The Jurassic Games'. It just sounded terribly derivative to the point of being a blatant rip off, the cover/poster looked cheap and like something you'd find advertised for a SyFy or Asylum film, it had a low rating and the reviews were less than promising. So in all honesty was expecting something terrible. Seeing 'The Jurassic Games' with an open mind and fairness intended, it turned out to be not near as terrible as expected. At the same time, didn't find it a particularly good film either. Just for the record, am somebody who hates being critical and is more often than not encouraging and aims to be balanced and tries to evaluate rather than completely gushing or bashing, so will always severely object to being called an armchair critic/expert that is thrown around a lot immaturely. There are positives. There is colour and atmosphere in the setting and some slickness in some of the shots. The music is not over-bearing, variety-less or monotonous, even when not being exactly memorable. A few of the dinosaurs are fun and have some personality that avoids going too far on the goofiness or scare factor. Some of the acting is better than average and there is the odd thrill. However, the limited budget shows in particularly the not always very well organised editing and the ropy effects. The dinosaurs don't steal the show as much as they should and their contributions not particularly memorable or well used. The human characters are underwritten and have little development or endearing personality, despite the actors' best efforts. Also found too much of the dialogue on the wrong side of dumb and cheesy, complete with some soapy moments, and that it didn't flow very well. The film is extremely derivative, interesting premise with far too over-familiar execution that has nothing new. The lack of imagination and suspense also hurts the film, too much evokes cringing and the thrills are sporadic. The direction felt like they were not in control of the material and not at ease with the genre. Overall, not a disaster, not a thrill side. Instead on the lower side of somewhere in between. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Daft bit gory and fun. Ok so it's not going to win any awards but it was entertaining and killed an hour or so. People are too critical these days just relax and enjoy the corn. Plus I love a T-rex or 3....

This was solid, the characters weren't amazing, but they had some traits and most of the acting was really solid and everyone (mostly) was trying. The effects are really good, everyone says they aren't. but this all takes place in a virtual world which explains if some cg isn't amazing, so quit it. this was really well paced and was never boring. the story could have been a little more unique, but I never once was bored or felt like this was a copy. check it out

The opening scene with the game show host wearing some kind of dinosaur's skull as a helmet sets the tone for what is a truly bad film. Numerous illogical twists in the plot, poorly thought out fight scenes (a 110lb girl hangs a 240lb man by placing a noose around his neck and running the rope over a branch. She weighs HALF of him so how does she haul him off the ground?) had me laughing for the first 30 minutes before coming to my senses and abandoning the film. Don't waste your time on this. Go for a walk, a run, a drink, a meal or shopping. Anything but this. You'll thank me.

When i first saw the trailer, I just wanted to watch it since i though it looked like a a bad b movie. However, after watching it I really enjoyed it. The premise is nothing new, death row inmates playing a death game for a pardon, but done right. Unless i missed something no one was framed and it was a voluntary even for the main guy. He was innocent, but found guilt in a trail, and asked if he wanted to join this years cast of the games. Another great thing is the game wasn't rigged so that everyone would loose or fail. This is importation, because what other movies fail when they do this is why would anyone play if no one ever wins. What i thought was great is except for the main guy everyone was guilty of horrible crimes. There is a protest group of course that is against them and in the end tried to end the game by killing everyone on camera. of course failing to end the game. Personally i though the movie misses a great opportunity by not ending the movie showing these people from the protest group as the next stars of the new games. I thought most of the characters were pretty good and fun to watch. At first i thought they would try and hammer home the morality of games like this to one side, but didn't, which is great. The whole family ended up enjoying this movie, and for a B movie, i thought they did a lot better with the story and details that most of the major movies are being sloppy with.

Take a mash-up of the basic concepts from THE CONDEMNED & STAY ALIVE, then add dinosaurs. That gives you the overall premise of THE JURASSIC GAMES. This one is of a much lower budget, so the cast is not well-known and the graphics are only passable because of the VR setting. The plot layout was entertaining and the acting quality is mediocre but not terrible. Enjoyable so long as you are not expecting a blockbuster.
