What Walt's Watching

Think "Apocalypse Now" meets "Jurassic Park" for adults and you've got "Primitive War" set in 1968 Vietnam War.The movie comes out swinging with a troop of Green Berets decimated by prehistoric Dinosaurs...being hunted whilst cool 60's Vietnam soundtrack rocks out of the speakers.(In this scene Creedence's "Fortunate Son".)The crack US "Vulture" squad led by their saving Sergeant, Ryan Kwanten, are dropped into this mysterious valley to extract any survivors under highly classified orders from the insane, f-bomb dropping Colonel Jericho (Jeremy Piven "Entourage"/"Rush Hour 2").Honestly I was expecting low quality VFX, but "Primitive War" impressed this dinosaur fan.There is plenty of dinosaur action packed into 2 hrs and 15 minutes on a minuscule budget of under 10 million USD and its first class.They've created more faithful dinosaur designs than Spielberg and his cronies whilst paying homage to lots of Jurassic and War movie tropes.Throw in a Russian Palaeontologist, Communist Soldiers, Worm Holes and a Nuclear Collider and you've got a party.This Collider will make a hydrogen bomb look like a soldier lighting one of his farts!The final battle scene in a South East Asian war zone (actually Gold Coast Hinterland) rivals the latest "Jurassic World: Dominion or Rebirth".It's balls to the wall insanely good and makes up for some of the earlier lazy character exposition.Towards the third act I was championing certain characters to survive this horror because I found myself actually engaged with a few of their stories.They've done so much with so little despite an average script and average acting."Primitive War" really sticks it to Michael Crichtons big screen creation.This is the fun, horror Dinosaur/War movie some of us have been waiting for, despite the crazy Rusky, Asian & American accents and not enough comedy to balance the drama.Based on Ethan Pettus 2017 book this promises a sequel because there's more material waiting to be mined."Primitive War" ain't no walk in the park or run through the jungle, but it's Aussie director Luke Sparke's best film to date.
