About
You may enjoy this if you like low-budget creature adventures with constant dinosaur encounters, somewhere between Black Water: Abyss and Meg 2: The Trench; Not for you if shaky found-footage chaos and simple characters wear you out.
Pros: plenty of dinosaur action; tense survival setup; impressive creatures for budget | Cons: shaky found-footage style; predictable story beats; uneven acting
