action
During an investigation in Argentina, two cave explorers discover a dinosaur skull and 70 million year old inscriptions and drawings on the walls of a cave, addressed to the former military scientist Frank Reno.
In a meeting with soldiers from a secret command, he explains that in 1949 a reconnaissance team, including his brother Erik, was sent 70 million years into the past through a time portal. However, the team could not be brought back due to a miscalculation by Renos. The heavily armed troop will now travel to the past together with Reno in order to search for the research team and return with him.
Arriving in prehistoric times, some soldiers die after attacks by prehistoric dinosaurs and plants. When a pack of dinosaurs attack, four people come to the rescue with spears and kill the attackers. It turns out that these are the last survivors of the reconnaissance team, who have lived in prehistoric times for about six years; Reno's brother Erik is also among them. On the way back to the time portal, they are attacked by Big Red , a tyrannosaurus , and can narrowly escape. On the further journey they lose another man to the attack of a pterosaur .
When he reached the portal, Reno stayed behind because someone had to close it again. After everyone has gone through, however, Big Red attacks Reno and also gets into the present. A wild chase with helicopters and cars through the city follows. The four surviving researchers lure the dinosaur into a tunnel, but it fails. Suddenly the young Frank Reno from 1950 appears, who has the time travel device with him. When they are attacked again, Frank Reno sends the dinosaur back into the past through the time portal. Then he opens another portal to the year 1950, through which he and two other members of the research team go to their correct time. The other two stay in the present to close the portal again.
criticism
"A clear recommendation for trash fans, everyone else is advised against watching this film out of concern for the welfare of innocent screens."
“What can you expect from a film that, by chance, alludes in the title to Roland Emmerich's“ 10,000 BC ”, which is better in terms of tricks, and appeared practically at the same time as it? Preferably nothing at all, because this is exactly what the strip delivers to the inclined viewer. While the plot still has a comprehensible storyline at the beginning, it fades more and more into the background and ends with a confusing showdown. This does not play an essential role in view of the lousy result in all respects. How the seasoned actors Michael Gross and Christopher Atkins ("The Blue Lagoon") got lost in these long stretches of brain-free science fiction laughs remains a mystery. Just like the question of whether the lousy underground special effects were actually intended in their unbelievable horror. Even in a film or a television series from the early 1990s, a time when CGI animations were causing a trick technology revolution, they would have been extremely embarrassing. "
