The creatures were done decently, both animal and plant. Prehistoric creatures are slumbering underground, and now are awaking and emerging because the island is being developed. Mother and son, who were both injured in a fire, are the main characters, as when they got separated, it lead to most of the drama. Mother is certain where her son may have gone. There is a bit of humor when the big dinosaur relieves himself on top of several of the characters hiding behind a large rock. And in running from the creatures, there is a lot of falling down. Yes, on the island is a development of a theme park featuring dinosaurs, but not meant to be real ones. The old professor starts to wear on a person after awhile. Seems like there is nothing he doesn't know about. The vessels at the start and the truck at the end were poorly done, which is a bit of a surprise considering. But turn off subtitles, turn down the sound and you will not miss anything. It is easy to guess where things are going.
