Interesting premise, and while it wasn’t horrible it could have been better executed. I would Ideally give it a 6.5, but Metacritic doesn’t allow half points, so 6 it is.

Particularly when you consider the name he has been making for himself in recent years with more serious roles.

What comes as a surprise to me is that he chose such an unexciting and uneventful story to get involved in the sci-fi genre again. Because even with such a basic script, this had enough elements to produce a funnier and more entertaining movie than the product these two directors ended up delivering.

65 is a film that clearly aims to be a bit more serious in tone than one might expect for a story like this and I have no problem with that, but the filmmakers seem to have overlooked that entertainment was key to going the extra mile.

Adam Driver is clearly committed to his role, but the shortcomings of 65 pull the scales down, as it is clear that the film itself is not a half-baked failure, but it completely lacks the necessary elements to make it the epic it certainly dreamed of being.

His travels are cut short when he crash lands on Earth, 65 million years ago. Natch, he encounters a variety of pre-historic creatures, but not before he discovers the only other passenger alive: In the tradition of so many wilderness adventures, it's a young girl (Chole Coleman). Two of the writers of A Quiet Place (Scott Beck & Bryan Woods) have written and directed, so they've thrown all manner of challenges at the duo. After a while, the credibility of the escapes wears thin and along with it is any potential for real tension. The concept is somewhat interesting and Driver gives it his all, but the directing duo didn't bring enough skill to keep the movie from "crashing." Expand

That about sums it all up. The added massive meteor is gonna crash and kill everything on top of that was a bit much. Could have been better. Its maybe worth a one time see if you really like dinosaurs i guess. Its nothing I'll watch again.
there isn't much more to really say about it. there are really only two characters who ever Adam Driver is and a young girl who doesn't speak English so not much in the way of character interaction. Its most likely something that wont really be remembered or talked about in the future.

Pilot Mills (Adam Driver) is one of only two survivors after a catastrophic crash on an unknown planet. Mills and Koa (Ariana Greenblatt) must make their way through this dangerous planet and the fight for survival begins.

The dinosaurs market for the big screen is severely lacking, so when I saw the trailer for Adam Driver vs a bunch of scary dinosaurs on earth 65 million years ago that's all I needed, I was in. Even the very mixed reviews wasn't enough to put me off. And although 65 isn't quite as bad as some of the overly harsh reviews, it does still feel like a missed opportunity. And stamping "from the writers of "A Quiet Place" onto the poster isn't fooling anyone. 65 comes nowhere near the suspense and tension of A Quiet Place.

65 avoids using dinosaurs we're used to seeing in the Jurassic Park movies which was probably a wise decision as otherwise we couldn't help compare them. The story itself takes a while to get going with all the setup somehow feeling both rushed and dragged out at the same time. Not quite sure how they managed that but sure here we are. There's some strange jumps between scenes early on that feels like scenes were deleted altogether. Either way it takes a bit for the fight for survival to kick in. Once it does it's entertaining in the moment, but it's nothing special and honestly not as great as the trailer made it seem.

The fact that there's such a small cast in a fight for survival across dangerous terrain storyline means there's no surprises in store. There's also quite a lot of flashbacks and scenes reminding Adam Driver's character of his family etc. which is all trying desperately to get an emotional response from the audience but none of that was really achieving anything. The dinosaurs themselves are scary, no holding up your little hand in front of them to stop them trying to eat you. There's some good scenes eventually, even if moments were already spoiled by it's own trailer. The best thing about it was probably the last 20 minutes, it's got a good third act but takes a while to get there.

65 should have been better and I'm not even going to mention how bad the title is. Overall there's the feeling that something was missing here and it's not the most jaw-droppingly memorable movie you'll see all year. It's fine, nothing amazing but you could do much worse. Yeah I'm looking at you Jurassic World: Dominion. Recommended for anyone looking for a short "entertaining in the moment" kind of movie, and it will probably entertain the kids for a couple of hours.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was enjoyable but there were some dumb scenes in it. Interactions between main protag and girl were just awkward and badly written. Some conveniences along the path (for example the space ship in the end being in the wrong position only to be reversed by.. a dinosaur? lazy writing). More of that as well. Cinematography was good.

Thankfully, the 5 actors are really good in it. Why do I specify the number of actors ? Because it's evident the budget was limited in many ways. CGI shots, making the world more rich, number of people. That movie would have been interesting, but not on Earth. I suspect the budget never allow it. The CGI is well done however, but the fauna is less convincing. I have a problem with the fact we don't see any herbivores (one). The music and the sounds are on point. They carry the movie with the acting. I give it 65%. Good movie with limited budget. Sadly, I felt the ending was also cut short. At least this movie doesn't last too long and has good pacing. Expand

It's a basic shoot 'em up with a variety of largely evil reptiles—brevity is a virtue, and this movie doesn't go off on a tangent for three hours. The only somewhat adorable one is quickly devoured. We must go the 15 kilometres, thankfully, from point A to point B, while avoiding becoming meal or being destroyed by falling space debris. Would have preferred to see fewer of the large cliché monsters and more of the smaller, sneakier bugs (stuck on your neck, invading your mouth while you sleep). Expand

Boy, was I wrong. The directors maybe have good ideas but they need to have a better, more seasoned people on the helm. To make a film about space and dinosaurs boring is an understatement. I know what they're getting at...the gritty feel and the like, but in their hands, the films need to be more propulsive and plays like a horror film. Alas, a missed opportunity. Expand

P.S. Bad story, doesn't develop the character, too slow at times. Got a few jump scares and dinosaurs. They have a scene showing how dinosaurs got stuck in tar-pits, but its actually the mammals that got stuck and not dinosaurs

Quite solid average production. I liked the scenery; the plot and the action scenes were fine. If you don't know what to do on a rainy day, this might be a movie to kill some time with.
