And I was actually glad and surprised that the first movie wasn't being
as much a "Jurassic Park" ripoff. It probably only didn't because it
couldn't, since it was released a couple of months before "Jurassic
Park" hit the theaters. This movie makes up for that though, since it
really doesn't have an original idea of its own in it. It even more
blatantly is ripping off James Cameron's "Aliens".
It even isn't being subtle about it. It doesn't try to conceal that it
'borrowed' heavily from "Aliens" and pretty much steals entire scenes,
dialog and characters from that movie. Really, if you have seen
"Aliens", you have seen "Carnosaur 2" as well already! The story even
progresses in the exact same way.
But oh well, I still have to give the movie that it at least is being
better to watch than the original. The story is much easier and
pleasant to follow and it at least has some half decent characters in
it as well.
Another thing that had been improved were its effects. The dinosaurs
are better looking and more threatening this time around. It really
prevents the movie from being ever becoming a truly ridicules or
horrible one as well.
Really, it isn't anything too uncommon for a movie to ripoff another
one. Especially not for low budget movies like this one. And out of all
the "Aliens" ripoffs that are out there, this ons is not all that bad
and actually at times quite good and enjoyable.
Not original by any means obviously but it at least is a watchable
enough, cheap, little movie, that is far better and more pleasant to
watch than the original as well.
5/10
