    This was listed as playing as part of its limited release at a local theater, but, by the time I assembled a handful of friends to go see it, they had pulled it from the schedule due to lack of interest. I’m more than a little butthurt I missed the chance to see Jurassic Platoon on the big screen, but I look forward to the home release.

    Primitive War has a considerably higher budget than the movies that I usually post in this community, but I still believe it deserves to be mentioned here. Even if it isn’t a B-movie in the truest definition, it definitely is spiritually. It’s basically a Syfy dino-actioner on steroids.

    Can be streamed/rented (?) in North-America through Ama$on.

    An instant classic of great bad movies; wildly uneven tone and pace throughout, plenty of scenery chewing, hilariously bad Russian accents, some truly excellent dinosaur CG and, just when it feels like its dragged on past its welcome, one of the most unhinged, over the top finales I’ve ever seen. Watch it with some drunk and rowdy friends.
