This movie has SO much potential and some truly impressive visuals, but it falls flat as it simply just meanders from one obstacle to the next in a plot that can’t decide what it wants to be. There is hardly any thought put into transitionaryThis movie has SO much potential and some truly impressive visuals, but it falls flat as it simply just meanders from one obstacle to the next in a plot that can’t decide what it wants to be. There is hardly any thought put into transitionary moments, failing to build up tension to truly encapsulate the viewer. And while it has its moments, it gets boring and repetitive quickly, especially as its tone of panic remains constant rather than waxing and waning. Expand

The most boring and dissapointing movie in the last few years. Truly a waste of talent for Adam Driver, I feel bad for him.

The attempt was there, but with the beautiful dinosaurs and good actors and actresses, you forgot that excitement and fresh ideas were also needed.
The film quickly becomes boring and repetitive. You struggle through it too often.

A fun flick to insult your intelligence with. It's like...indescribable. It's a sci-fi, dino horror flick.

A story of loss and the need to continue against all odds in the face of it, “65” squanders opportunities to not only be memeable, but to also develop its characters, their homeworld of Somaris, as well as to present its beautiful CGIA story of loss and the need to continue against all odds in the face of it, “65” squanders opportunities to not only be memeable, but to also develop its characters, their homeworld of Somaris, as well as to present its beautiful CGI monsters clearly and properly. In what seems to be an effort to be sensitive to younger audiences, the directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods decided to avoid presenting the pivotal scenes of death in the plot and with it, most of the emotion and distress it causes, thus vastly cheapening the story’s experience or any value it might have had to the viewer. Their complete lack of spine in the telling is not uncommon in this generation of Hollywood, one which is obsessed with keeping appearances, leaving good impressions and avoiding hurting any feelings. The movie industry is currently swamped in this ideology; a cancer which is nigh impossible to remove since those in power refuse to hire anyone who disagrees, preferring to languish in their echo chambers, unable to see their shortcomings and choosing only to receive praise at every turn. In a pivotal moment in this movie, when Adam Driver’s life is in danger, he delivers every ounce of emotion and determination only for his co-lead to seem uncomfortable instead of involved. This is absolutely a director’s choice; one that is weighed down by the need to avoid any controversy. What could have been a story of love for our fellow man, and a richly developed tale of a father becomes anecdotal in the hands of mediocre developers. We cannot easily identify with the characters and they are not sufficiently engaging due to the poor script and presentation (but at no fault of their own).

Furthermore, the exciting and wonderful CGI beasts in the film are presented at odd angels, momentarily and without true love or consideration to the incredible work put into them. So many monster moments could have been fleshed out and given weight, but instead dissipate. One baby dinosaur in the movie could have gone on to be the next Grogu, if the directors would have had any insight. The movie is poorly shot in general, leaving the viewer frustrated and wishing for a better view of the action.

But the greatest loss, in my opinion, was the chance for this movie to become a cult classic thru the use of imaginative language and word play. The fact that the characters speak different languages could have been the premise for some hilarious dialogue, interaction and brevity. Excellent examples of proper use of this premise can be seen in Luc Besson’s “The Fifth Element” or Wolfgang Petersen’s “Enemy Mine”, both of which are meaningful tales that have staying power in the hearts and minds of their audiences. In conclusion, “65” avoids the chance to be heartfelt and engaging, and thus becomes ignorable; one of many such titles that fade into obscurity.

Efectos especiales que a duras penas llegan a ser decentes, una escenografía muy genérica, una trama igual de genérica que lo anterior, una química totalmente nula entre Adam Driver y la otra niña, los cuales no transmiten nada, dinosauriosEfectos especiales que a duras penas llegan a ser decentes, una escenografía muy genérica, una trama igual de genérica que lo anterior, una química totalmente nula entre Adam Driver y la otra niña, los cuales no transmiten nada, dinosaurios disque alienígenas bien renderizados pero nada que impresione.

En pocas palabras, una película muy aburrida.

No me extraña que haya fracasado en la taquilla.

However, this Dinosaur and Sci-Fi movie doesn't work.

There is barely any plot, barely any character depth, and a severe lack of dialogue. I don't know why the writer made the characters unable to speak the same language because it just hinders the character interactions. They don't even explain what mission our main character was on and why the girl was there. It also has a lot of questionable things such as why a futuristic ship couldn't sense an asteroid belt, yet the main character has a sensor that works great on the ground. The director and writer don't make us care enough about anything. So you should not care to watch this.

Once in a while a film comes along that retreads every single trope in the playbook. One that raises the bar on the art of cliché. A film so effortlessly formulaic that it may well have been birthed by some electronic alchemy. Genre defyingOnce in a while a film comes along that retreads every single trope in the playbook.

Raimi believed it was good and right to produce a prequel to "Jurassic Park" that exploited any cliché of survival movies and eliminated any logical plausibility. Experiment succeeded almost to perfection: sacrificing action, adventure, sci-fi, monster films in the name of family-friendly on the model of "The Road" (Hillcoat/McCarthy), no one will notice the screenwriters' strike.

Concept was good, but lacked an even flow of storytelling and dinosaurs. Not worth 10$.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 65 offered exactly what it promised, the Adam Driver dinosaur movie, nothing more, nothing less. “If anything, there should’ve been MORE dinosaurs,” Friend said. “If Universal makes one more Jurassic World in the next two years, I’m going to stop watching movies in general. I’m so OVER dinosaurs,” Friend’s husband screamed (after the movie was over, in the lobby). Everyone agreed that there was no false advertising. Spoilers ahead.

We had some predictions going into this movie: the navigation system must’ve been so absolutely terrible that Adam Driver could fly his ship 32.5 million years in one direction and then 32.5 million years in the other before getting to Earth, where he started. Like, how unbelievably unlucky is that flight path? It’s actually worse than that. In the movie, there are OTHER human civilizations that predate Earth and yet make it to Earth and they speak English and have cultural references we understand, I guess?

We predicted that, as with any time travel stranding movie, the main character ultimately does not want to return home, either because he’s being held accountable for bad decisions or he just has nothing left to live for there, so the attraction of being stuck in a dinosaur hellscape will prove attractive by comparison. That’s not quite the case here? This is an open-and-shut The Last of Us surrogate father story with dinosaurs, but there are a lot of reasons to think that he’s not especially keen on return. He even makes employee of the **** month by originally offering to do himself in so that he doesn’t incur rescue costs from the company employing him.

We predicted that the time travel would be accidental and non consensual. Turns out there is no time travel? Which I guess begs the question why is this movie called 65? 65 compared to what? What’s with all this relativistic titling in a sci-fi movie?

The value added by having a language barrier is low, but Friend is sure that it makes for a stupider, cheaper movie to produce.

The only thing that really got my hackles up are the yellow lamps, prominently featured in the trailer. Why does Driver place so many of them around them in such a tight circle when all the end up doing is turn red? Surely he could’ve just set one down? He’s been carrying like fifteen of these lamps for miles–to which Friend corrected me, she’s been carrying the bag, not him. Which is when it dawns on me that Driver doesn’t really care how heavy the rucksack she’s dragging around weighs, because he chooses to carry the fanny pack and gun for the hike while she has to shlep all their food and supplies.

Do you like Adam Driver? Do you like dinos? You’re probably not his son then! But also, go see this movie!

Jurassic trash. Hollywoods finest. Keep banging out the material and maybe one day we'll find talent again.

Bone Dry editing and filmmaking. The family and dead daughter plotline are as ham fisted and as unnecessary as can be. The combat editing is particularly terrible, incoherent and disappointing.

I expected this movie to be boring but decided to give it a try in case I was wrong. For about five minutes I thought I might have misjudged it. The opening dialogue wasn’t bad, but that was all the movie had to offer. My original impressionI expected this movie to be boring but decided to give it a try in case I was wrong. For about five minutes I thought I might have misjudged it. The opening dialogue wasn’t bad, but that was all the movie had to offer. My original impression was correct; this is a boring movie. Far too many drawn out scenes of random behavior similar to movies where characters brush their teeth or just drive around. Granted this wasn’t teeth brushing or driving, but it’s the same kind of filler scenes used because they didn’t have a story to tell and had to film something. I don’t care for Adam Driver and I didn’t like the girl’s character either. She was the stereotypical obnoxious child that’s in almost every movie/show these days. The writing was uninspired, the directing was boring and the acting was blah. Expand

Movie made me lose 65 brain cells. Should've been 65 minutes long at most. Couldn't even get 65/100 score from me. There were less than 6.5 dinosaurs in this. Held my interest for 65 seconds.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 65 is a film with an interesting concept that just falls flat. In the beginning, it attempts to give you some kind of background but then continues to ignore it and dive right in. This would be fine if it was able to deliver an awesome movie of technology vs. dinosaurs. However, anything that would be enjoyable is put right into the trailer. They try to add a dynamic between a man and a child, but because of a language barrier, it is not executed well. At one point in the film, the character portrayed by Adam Driver hits a dark moment in his life, but it just feels out of place and awkward at the time. There is no sense of urgency until about the halfway way mark. Unfortunately, when something happens to give urgency, the pacing does not improve. This film is roughly 90 minutes but feels at least an hour longer. It is such a shame this idea was not executed any better since the concept could've been an awesome action/horror flick. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not the science fiction movie you are looking for. Yes it has some nice visuals at the beginning and end, but the majority of the movie is pretty bland visually. Acting is terrible. Somehow we're supposed to believe this young woman is going to play possum after they crash land and her parents are missing. And that she learns enough English to communicate efficiently in the timeline shown in the movie is laughable. Put this one in the category of science fiction movies that shouldn't have been made. This is some misguided Last of Us, Jurassic Park, Nazis on the moon nonsense. Expand
