Quotes:
“Apparently he was attacked by a wild animal last night.”
“That sure is hell isn’t a bear claw.”
“That sure is hell isn’t a fossil.”
“That ain’t no mountain lion.”
After the dinosaurs jump out of the hole in the ground… “I think we’re too late.”
“You made your bed and now you can die in it.”
“You’re history.”
Viewer Quotes:
“That cowboy is totally going to order a coffee and a pecan pie.”
“Those are totally Montana skanks.”
“Can you still drink in the car in Montana?”
To the miners on their way to into the mine… “Are those the dwarves on their way to work? Hi ho, hi ho.”
Things We Learned:
Velociraptors love to jump in the water to eat people.
Dinosaurs are attracted to propane tanks.
The best place to hide from a dinosaur attack is the washing machine at the laundry mat.
Dinosaurs will not eat horses even if they are right there.
Final Take:
This was pretty much generic Syfy fodder if you’re in the mood for that sort of thing. I’m not quite sure what attracted Eric Roberts to this particular role. I would think that if I was brought a script that had me puking my guts out for half of my time on camera, I might pass. On second thought, I totally get it, and I would have done it too.
