Another day another film to be watched now that the kids season has ended at the local cinema. The tide was low, which makes sense – I went to see this film around the same time as yesterday’s and the tide was low then. I will admit that the views over the river were great when I left the cinema as it was golden hour and the sun reflecting off the houses on the east bank looked pretty special. I rated this film on IMDb and it’s score was 6/10, there are RULES about the scoring system so you should read this communication.
I enjoyed this film. It was good fun. The action was sensible, although I’m not sure about the giant snake thing, but then the film never made claims to be an accurate representation of dinosaurs or similar. Honestly the most incredible thing in this film was the size of the house that the Platts lived in. We don’t have any clues as to what types of jobs the adults do but to make ends meet the father is delivering pizzas after losing his main job. The house is, fucking massive. I reckon they had to set this film in the early 1980s just to justify the size of the house and the type of neighbourhood.
I was somewhat surprised about three quarters of the way through the film with an incident involving a main character but this was resolved by the end of the movie – I’m not sure if I’m happy with that – it creates many paradoxes. To be fair, this film copes with the whole time travel thing quite well. I probably need to stop thinking about time as linear and consider other ideas.
I have just been looking up giant snake things as I didn’t particularly like that aspect of the film. I was bothered by the size of the snake. So, I found a page listing all the dinosaurs in the movie and then had a look at the Titanoboa.
