Fairly successful big croc movie. It follows generic plotlines via generic chracters, but has enough charm to pull it off. Orlando Jones is a great casting choice. His wit elevates the film somewhat, with lines like "This crocs like OJ Simpson. His biggest mistake was killing a w... ...( read more )
A very thrilling and fun monster movie, in the tradition of Jaws. It's smart, exciting, nail-biting and action-packed. An edge of your seat thriller with a realistic turn at a true story. A great cast of compelling and teriffic actors.
Oh boy :/....the movie is supposed to be about Gustave...an actual 2,000 pound, 20 feet crocodile in the Republic of Burundi, a small country in the Great Lakes region of Africa...but the film made even less mention of the creature than anything! The film's promotional trailer du... ...( read more )
Terrible movie, trailer says its a serial killer, but its just a giant crocodile. Lame CGI, stupid story and even more stupid how they throw in little lines here and there about how its our fault b/c we dont help out those countries enough. I hate this movie.
It's really fun when your stupid crocodile movie makes absolutely no attempt to resolve its main dramatic obstacle.
The trailer said it was a slasher film. Okay, so it turns out that Primeval's "serial killer" is actually a monster crocodile. All right, a four-legged, scaly Jaws that can chase people on land! Actually, that too is a coverup. What Primeval ACTUALLY is is a horror movie view... ...( read more )
Primeval is a story based on true events of a killer crocodile in a country encased in a civil war. The movie isn't as bad as some people will claim, because I believe people were expecting a killer crocodile horror movie. The movie is now means fantastic but it's an okay rental ... ...( read more )
Where was the movie about a rampaging killer crocodile?! All I saw was a movie about how awful it is in Africa with Civil War and warlords and such. The croc was secondary! Such a shame.
Best Gator Movie Out There, Turn the lights out buckle in and get ready to jump.
the alligator is completly computer animated and looks rediculous. I turned it off less than half way through
...It's just a damn croc? What a crock. I'll see this on DVD around September when it'll be in the cheap flick bin.
Or, better yet, not see this at all.
I was mad at Orlando Jones in this movie. You're in a horror movie! You're the ONLY black guy in the group! RUN!!!
If you are looking for a 'beast horror' flick, "Primeval" is not the film for you. Yes, the whole thing is set up as a group of American journalists that travels to Africa to find and capture a giant crocodile called 'Gustave', however the real threat to the Americans are a Afric... ...( read more )
This is one of those movies that you know to be bad before you watch it and you still watch it. And it's even worse.
great movie . a killer croc os always a good watch. i al so thought that Orlando Jones was funny in this ilm
Halfway through the movie I was thinking "well this isn't so bad" (considering other comparable movies), but then it just turns into a crapshoot. Still it's entertaining, Orlando Jones is enjoyable, and Jurgen Prochnow is always funny to watch in Rambo-esque roles...
Looks like Gustave has a bit of competion with the recent hurricane Gustave. So this is the first ever killer crocodile flick to make to the big screen aye? Crickey mate they put this in theaters but they only put the far supior Rogue in a select number of special cinemas? Well n... ...( read more )
Despite it's lackluster dialogue and less than stellar effects, the movie isn't too bad at all. It doesn't get extremely bogged down in an attempt at something special, but takes itself seriously enough to be more than mediocre. If you like B-movies and creature films; it might w... ...( read more )
This was pretty crappy, even as a time waster. It looked like something that I'd see on the Sci Fi Channel during one of their horror movie crapfests they have.
One of those movies that can't decide if it would rather be horror or drama and so it fails at both.
when i first saw the previews on this movie i wanted to see until i learned what it was about a giant croc. recently this movie was on demand and i decided to check it out. i was pleasantly suprised. really good action and decent story. only problem i had was with the ending. are... ...( read more )
While using a movie about an alligator to expose the horrors of genocide in Africa sounds like a good idea, it isn't. It also says something when a film about a giant killer lizard is boring, but, this movie had more than enough to reach that benchmark. Just watch Lake Placid 2... ...( read more )
never expected such a waste film in my favorite actress brooke langton film... oops so sad to see this film only some 5 scenes are extraordinary and superb but no other was nice but my actress also superb...
This was truly a treat to watch. Orlando Jones added the comedy to this intense suspense / thriller about American journalists coming to Africa to do an exclusive story on the disappearances of hundreds of Africans, from Burundian villages, allegedly at the jaws of a prehistoric ... ...( read more )
