interesting evolutionary turn

Anonymous Rex is about smart dinosaurs living among humans in holographic costumes. They've been living with us for millions of years and are the dragons of legend. The story is about two PIs that track down a rogue dino organization called the voice of progress who is trying to change the world so dinos rule again. The dinos got high on various herbs, even the carnivorous ones. Some of the rogue cult vaporizes tarragon in a club to try and get the dinos to go on a rampage killing humans and exposing themselves so the dinos will need to come out and fight to protect themselves from the scared and angry humans. The directing was good along with the camera work and dialog. Acting was passable and helped keep the story moving. Subplot, one of the dinos daughters was a real human that wanted to be a dino.

Let the conspiracy theories begin !

I was looking for some new monster movie to watch and came across this entry. I'm a fan of B-monster movies, so I might be a bit biased. This movie seemed pretty interesting, at least in concept. Dinosaurs survived extinction! Now they're human-sized and hidden among us under high-tech gadgetry. Before that they used make-up and then latex suits to disguise, of course. It's a very long shot to believable, like most conspiracy theories. Despite that, it is so bad in a good way that it kind of works. This title did have crappy CGI, at least for this generation. So-so acting was present, some is good, some not, some falls in between. Camera work could also use some tweaking. Even with its flaws, I liked this movie. Don't get me wrong, it isn't Shakespeare in the Park. Though with that title, expectations were not high, "Anonymous Rex" immediately led me to think about dinosaurs. And yes, it could have been a lot better, but it is entertaining and different. Apparently there is even a series of books it's based on. I obviously have not read them; I don't think I will either. The movie, though B-movie, Friday night material, is not exactly a glowing recommendation, though it might have led someone down the road to believe in lizard-men.
