A couple of
criminals is out to get the eden formula,
a formula which makes it possible to bring dinosaurs
back to life. What the criminals don't know is that
the scientists who have invented the formula have
all ready managed to create a tyrannosaurus wrecks,
and by breaking into the lab, the criminals have just
set the carnivorous creature free...
Okay, now this is just ridiculous. I know what you're
thinking; with a title like that, how could you possibly
go wrong? Well, I'll admit that it is a cool title but
unfortunately the title has very little to do with the
movie. To help you understand what I'm trying to say,
here's a checklist for you.
Objects wrecked by tyrannosaurus:
1. A cheap cd-player
2. A car (not wrecked, but slightly damaged)
That's it! For most of the time, the tyrannosaurus
just strolls around in the streets - unnoticed I might
add. How can I giant T-rex walk around without people
noticing it? Well, speaking of giant, I'm not sure
just how big this dinosaur was because its size seemed
to shift from scene to scene. I mean, in the beginning
of the movie the dinosaur is being kept inside a cage
at the bottom floor of a building. Later however, the
dinosaur is much bigger than the entire building! This
didn't really bother me that much though. What bothered
me the most was how incredibly fake the dinosaur looked,
it was as if someone was holding a plastic toy in front
of a green screen and they just pasted on the background.
Seriously! It's not made in CGI, and I'm pretty sure
it's actually a 12" toy attacking these people.
To sum that part up, the t-rex looks less realistic
than the monsters from the early 60's monster movies.
"Luckily", the t-rex doesn't really have much to do
with the plot. He's kind of the subplot more or less.
For most of the time we get to follow the thugs as
they desperately seek for the formula (to be honest
with you, I'm not really sure what the formula did in
the first place so I was merely guessing in my plot
description). Dee Wallace-Stone plays one of the good
guys in this and manages to escape from the facility
pretty quickly and is able to go get help. She doesn't
do this very successfully though and ends up driving
around, talking to random people through the radio for
most of the time. This must have been such an exciting
role for her, sitting behind a wheel, pretending to be
driving and talking to people - god it just doesn't
get more entertaining than that, does it?
I'm just shocked that someone actually made a movie
this bad. If you ask me, they should have just dropped
the whole dinosaur concept and worked more on the
bad guys vs good guys story in this one. Why? Because
they obviously didn't have enough money to make a
proper creature feature. I'm ashamed for Tony Todd
who has stooped to a new low and hopefully this will
never see the light of day in the US. If it does, do
everything you can to avoid it!
The dinosaur is sloppy and despite being extremely
hungry, it often settles with just eating peoples
heads or half of their bodies. Sure, it's got some
gore in it but it's all too cheesy.
I didn't even notice the score since I was so busy
being shocked that someone had made a movie like this.
Worst creature feature of all time, without a doubt.
Tyrannosaurus Wrecks has a very misleading title and
is really just about a plastic toy-dinosaur strolling
around the streets, eating people at random (mainly
hobos for some reason). Do everything you can to
avoid this terrible movie, it's just awful!
