Poseidon Rex

Amazing that they got rights to One Entire Song! They really got their money's worth!This movie is a prime example of Written By A White Man. No woman in the entire movie wearing more than a undersized bikini or anything under a G cup? Woman going off with two strange men? Ror anandom falling in love plots? Well I guess the last one was a given; there was no buildup for this one though and also he left standing guard? What if the P. Rex had eaten them that woulda been funnyMinus points for the racism bc yikes, Token PoC trope at it's finest. Fun fact, this was directed by the same person who did Sand Sharks! So uh that tracks. I love that the drug subplot and also the coast guard led to LITERALLY nothing. Pretty fun that they existed just to get eaten though.We all lost our minds at the bad CPR. Resuscitation? No, here in Syfy land we do Gentle Boob Compressions. GBC. Game boy color.Why did it take them LIKE 20 MINUTES of knowing about a nuke to mention the OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND?! Rod getting eaten was fun! He was just dislikable enough that we cheered when he died but not awful enough that he was making the movie worse by his presence. Good middle ground for the Straight White Man character whose character trait is Girlfriend.Why did they make up a dinosaur and call it Predator XAlso it's P. Rex and not P-Rex and crocodiles are not dinosaurs they are in fact birds closest living relatives but they diverged too early to be considered dinosaurs. They are however more related to dinosaurs than lizards and snakes so I will give them a tiny bit of credit for that.P. Rex sounds like a political candidate

As is typical in movies like this, they shoot at the creature, but can do no damage but just make it angry. This movie is rather harmless mindless stupidity, but entertaining.Treasure hunters set off explosives, and suddenly this large creature swims up, fully active as if it was just ‘resting’. There is a group of gangsters who are after treasure, and they are written using the full range of stereotypes. Watching this, one doesn’t want to even think about plot holes, as they are many. And the often stilted dialogue goes along with this type of movie.An egg is captured, and out comes a baby dino, which grows quickly, but it also very hilariously done. And it is cute.The two main characters go out to the deep blue hole where the monster came from, and they see the monster destroy a boat. It is interesting that in the several boat destructions, the only debris are a few floating bottles and things. They do rescue a young woman, and the man proceeds to try and give her CPR in a manner never taught by any medical program.Towards the end, it becomes rather nonsensical, in that three of them go to a base that has been abandoned for a decade or more, yet find a plane that is still in pristine condition, and starts right up, needing very little gas. Anyway, the U.S. military gets involved, and their satellite tracking is certainly unique. The movie ends with a chance for a sequel, but hopefully one will not be made.The movie is rather short, so at least one doesn’t feel they have wasted a lot of time watching.

i will watch it occasionally ty

Okay.Interesting.Don't know quite what to say.This movie was directed by Mark L. Lester who also directed Firestarter, Commando, Showdown in Little Tokyo, and a few other ditties. This movie was supposed to star Corin Nemec but he was injured early on and quickly replaced by Brian Krause. The story takes place in Belize. It involves a fifth-rate treasure hunter (Krause as Jackson Jax Slate), who angers the wrong sort of people and releases the lead monster, dubbed Poseidon Rex. Said monster goes on a rampage. People scream, people die, it's pretty much what you'd expect from this type of monster movie. The FX is acceptable but not great. The acting is barely adequate (at least Krause is enough of a pro to hold up his end of things, the rest of the cast not so much). There is a high quota of stupidity throughout; this is a ridiculous movie. Example: no matter what the state of the disaster there's always time for sex (distastefully done off screen). And it always comes in handy knowing Morse code.Admittedly, this is a poorly done movie, I didn't expect otherwise (in fact, I hoped it would be as bad as it is).I thoroughly enjoy monster movies in general, bad ones in particular. People who do not have the same appreciation for crappy movies should avoid this turkey. It is pretty awful.And yet, I liked it.

Dialogue was okay but the delivery of the lines was not - especially coming from the native gangsters.Gunfire CGI was terrible, as was the dino carnage, but the dino itself was not 1/2 bad.I like that it was its own new species. The baby dino was awesome, though the "scan" was ridiculous.The love interest plot between the marine biologist and treasure hunter was cringe-worthy.The ending was lame and if it's meant to be the opening for a sequel, I doubt I'll watch it unless the acting improves.Overall, it's a pretty standard-fare B-rated "monster" movie with sub-par acting and effects even while the plot concept is intriguing.

There's 'awful' and then there's Poseidon Rex. I don't mind cheap monster movies but this one just didn't pass any sense tests. Forget the appalling effects, woeful acting and beyond lame script - there are so many stupid things happening that just shouldn't. Like there's a military facility that hasn't been used for decades, but it has power and a radio that works. And outside there is an airplane hangar with a lovely shiny light plane, complete with keys and a supply of fuel. And just outside the hangar there is a bazooka leaning against the wall. And this super bazooka never needs reloading - it has a never-ending supply of invisible ammunition on board somewhere. But wait, it gets better - the actors are able to talk to each other underwater, while using breathing masks. And not just the one time. I was beyond laughing. More the fool me for buying this piece of garbage. But I would definitely put it on at a party with a few drinks as it really is hilarious. And the running time - the box art says 89 minutes approximately which is approximately rubbish just like everything else about this production. Fortunately for everyone, I guess, the thing limps in at just under 76 minutes. 1.5 stars.

Very happy with my purchase thanks good film

I found it a bit boring.

Its ok but could have done better

Pretty good fun
