Twists quite unexpected for monster movie
25 September 2021
Valinia and the writing team for this giant alligator (or dinosaur, whichever you prefer) movie, wound up taking some risks and doing a lot of fresh things that made it different than most such monster moives.

Unfortunately, there is an overage of insane characters. That's the only real flaw to this movie.

There are a few twists and a few unexpected events.

We have some characters who are eliminated immediately, and we follow a small number of "honest" characters amid the lunatic ones.

Not a spoiler to say that there is a pair of lunatic brothers that are somewhat credible, and an outrageously insane scientist. He makes some insane remarks from the onset that signal just how out of touch with reality he is.

The other characters behave in a believable way.

One more thing. It seems every movie maker wants to outdo each other with giant, super powered monsters. This is no exception. But, that's to be expected. Still, it would be nice if the next monster movie would tone it down a bit.

Overall, the twists make this one of the better giant alligator-crocodile movies.
