It's a pretty good movie that describe the wildness of Africa... I even shocked knowing that Laura Linney played in this movie... The whole movie wasn't bad, but not outstanding too... The Gorillas were scary, looks like they can kill a man so easily... Good job I think, knowing that it's a little difficult to make a movie that takes place in Africa...
"Talking" gorilla is the highlight of the show - when brought back to the jungle, not being able to fit in as she had been communicating with humans all along. Quite a comic relief for some parts.
I like Michael Crichton novels, the ones I have read anyway. They are partly responsible for wanting to persue an education in science (which incidentally i'm not enjoying). However, this movie was very silly and not in a fun, entertaining kind of way. Laura Linney is a great actress, I don't understand why she'd do this? Maybe at the time everyone thought it would be huge and revolutionary, and some actors probably crave to star in an action movie. It was probably fun making it, but watching it was pretty awful. Also the incredibly fake Gorilla 'Amy' was a joke.
This movie really tried to butch Laura Linney up too much and didn't have the same allure as Jurassic Park. Though for a movie made in 1995, not too terrible.
these guys go to the african congo to look for diamonds in these caves... well they stumble upon these evil garillas that eat people... just watch it... its excellent...kinda creepy tho
Mildly enjoyable. The acting was below average and it reminded me just a little too much of Jurassic Park. The only performance that amused me was Tim Curry. His funny accent really made me laugh. Other than that there isn't much to say. The apes look too fake and the way the two stories come together is rubbish. Not really one to watch.
My oldest son was FASCINATED with this movie!! We had to watch it almost EVERY DAY!! He even learned his first curse word from it: "Sh**!" He was only 2 and a half and the movie seemed fairly innocent enough, it fascinated us that he was so enchanted by the movie for some reason. Anyway, that's OUR family history with this movie -- anyone want to share theirs (about this movie or any other! I'd be interested! I LOVE that kind of stuff!)
Not quite the abortion I was led to believe it was, this dimwitted action film adapted from a dimwitted book by Michael Crichton is so absurd it is impossible to take seriously. A motley crew of scientists, naturalists, hunters and treasure seekers end up in Zaire finding a talking apes family/discovering a lost diamond mine/getting attacked by killer apes, all at the same time. And if that's all a little too subtle for you, throw in a volcanic eruption and a laser gun. Daft rather than offensive, but hardly a classic.
This film is crap.Saw it on tv the other night and the whole thing is just stupid.I can't believe Bruce Campbell has a cameo in this,although his bit is the best bit in the film!
holy fucking shit forgot about this enourmous life threatening injury of a movie...worst, most unconvincing ape ever portrayed in a film and that includes king kong versus godzilla, some of the most shocking effects ive ever seen, dialogue that makes you want to slit your own throat and plot holes a plenty, even tim curry coudlnt save this generic arse crack toss fueled wank fest
how do you smash a chunk of diamond into the perfect size and shape for a lazer while inbred mutant gorillas are chasing you?! can someone explain that to me?!
What were they thinking when they made this movie? The book was so good, this is one of the worst adaptions of a book I have ever seen. They should realy remake this movie, because the book was excellent
