    Good suspense! Kept me on the edge of my seat!

    this one was good, some great gorey scenes, and theres more to the story than just a big alligator killing people... its based on a true story
  • July 2, 2007
    ok, i was goin in this film with the intent that i was goin to see a mad crazed psycho serial killer...oh, its about a killer alright...but the kind that outlived the T-REX..its about a killer croc that is still alive in africa...i mean, its a true story and that in itself makes ...( read more)it worth watching..a little modern day, in your face, live and in color news never hurt anyone...but the story tends to stray away from the killer croc and leads u to all the troubles in africa and the war that was goin on between certain ppl....the 3 americans were supposed to go and get the story and evidently capture the croc...but that never happens so therefore the ending is rather...well.....shitty...at least to me...lets just say this...im never goin to africa!!

    Enjoyable film but there could have been more killer croc and less focus on the political struggles of this war torn africian country. DOnt get me wrong, thats just as interesting a story(maybe more), but I just dont think that both themes fit well within one film.

    WTF!!! This has got to be the worst movie I've ever seen... I hate previews, they make th movies out ot be better than they are. Don't waste your time on this STINKER.. Realy not worth a rating.

    A decent monster movie based on true events. It doesn't re-invent the wheel, but it's mildly entertaining and it has quite a few scenes that actually made me jump. Some decent CGI of the killer African croc, some great one-liners from the always entertaining Orlando Jones and t...( read more)he hot as hell Brooke Landon make this flick worth sitting through at least once. My main problem was some of the racist remarks made throughout the film about slavery and such. Just not funny. Also it unfolds just the way you'd expect, with the big twist being that the killer croc lives in the end (it's still alive to this day). Extremely in-your-face gory and very fast paced, you can do much worse than this. Decent.

    Crikey! Graphic. High production value makes it a couple steps above ordinary creature flicks.

    Dominic Purcell, Brooke Langton and Orlando Jones ? to war-torn Burundi, where they hope to capture, on film and in a giant metal cage, a giant predatory crocodile. Whose name is Gustave, but also by a mysterious and ruthless warlord, known as ? what else? ? Little Gustave. This ...( read more)movie is a true story but yet hitting the big screen lost it's character. Trailer gave it the wrong impression. I was missed lead. It reminded me to much of "The Ghost in the Darkness" but yet more boring and grusome. It was a alright movie.

    Not only one of the worst films I have seen recently, but one of the worst films in the history of filmmaking. Terrible from start to finish. You know what, not terrible...let's go with HORRID!!! I went to the theatre with an open-mind thinking it'd be more like "Ghost and the Da...( read more)rkness" than "Anaconda". In the end, it was not terrifying and believable like "Darkness" nor was it a good time like "Anaconda" even. It was just a REALLY, REALLY BAD film with some of the worst acting, no plot script, and no brains ending, not to mention one of the worst looking creatures ever to show up onscreen. Stay AWAY!!! Not even fun to make fun of....just brainless filmmaking.

    loved this movie, i though it would be cheesy, but i jumped in my seat soooo many times.
  • June 28, 2007
    If you think you will see a slasher flick, you will be disappointed. It is not a slasher flick as it was advertised. If you wanted to see a man eating crocodile flick, you will also be disappointed because this is a political movie dressed as a horror killer croc, dressed as a ...( read more)slasher flick. Not worth it at all. If I want to see a movie about the political state of Africa, I'll watch Hotel Rwanda or The Last King of Scotland.

    Interesting show! Keeps you on the edge of your seat!!
  • June 27, 2007
    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) on the political situation in Africa. Interesting topic for a film, but not when you're expecting a giant man-eating crocodile in place of the serial killer you were initially promised. Anyway, the relatively short amount of time devoted to the crocodile is well done, with excellent effects, and the cast is really very lovable. In fact, this would be a really fun, frightening movie . . . if only the filmmakers had decided exactly what it was they were making a movie about to begin with.

    i hated the beggening loved the rest
  • June 27, 2007
    Average- nothing to remark about here.
  • June 26, 2007
    Remember when Orlando Jones was kinda popular? Look at him now...
  • June 26, 2007
    I'm pretty sure this is about a killer crocodile. "Lake Placid" anyone?
  • June 26, 2007
    I wish I hadn't spent the money on a ticket to see this movie in the theatre. I thought it was gonna be better but half way through the movie I just wanted to leave. It had it's good moments but they were few and far between.
  • June 26, 2007
    seems like my kind of movie
  • June 25, 2007
    If you liked JAWS, you'll love this thriller!!
  • June 25, 2007
    This was really interesting, not "cheesy" like I was afraid it was going to be.
  • June 24, 2007
    I LOVED this movie!!! lol the crocodile was SO cute!!!
  • June 24, 2007
    oooh my GOD!! i hate crocodiles
  • June 24, 2007
    You have to know the story behind this movie or you could be lost from the start. Im not gonna give away anything you really gotta see it for yourself. It has its moments: funny, thrilling, and just plain stupid but nothing new. Hollywood is just making yet another pot of the sam...( read more)e brew from other movies. You'll say the same thing trust me.
  • June 23, 2007
    Not bad, was just a little dissapointed with one of the caracters dying, my fave one! So ya, don't want to give too much away......most part is was a good movie, a bit gorey, but good story line.
  • June 23, 2007
    a good movie unpredictable
  • June 22, 2007
    A cross between Lake Placid and a genoside linked thriller, Primeval tells the story of a ravenous crocodile that has been terrorizing and killing for decades. A very interesting, adrenaline pumping thriller, drizzlled with a bit too much computer animation. An overall good movie.
  • June 21, 2007
    Crocodiles are scary. Let's get that out of the way. But my years watching Steve Irwin in action have apparently taught me more about a crocodile's behavior and abilities than the producers of this film ever bothered to learn. So a CGI croc with super crazy killing ability tak...( read more)es everything terrifying about the animal and turns it eye-rollingly lame. The effects looked good, but everything was dark and murky and I couldn't tell what was happening a lot of the time.
    The movie also drags by making clumsy political statements. And sure, it presents some of Africa's worst problems to an audience that probably doesn't hear about them otherwise. But the best solution it can muster? Get the hell out of Africa.
  • June 21, 2007
    If you have seen Jaws or Anaconda, you've seen this movie.
  • June 21, 2007
    Really is enjoyable, for those who love giant killer animal movies :P
  • June 20, 2007
    The scenes with the crocidile are crazy.
  • June 20, 2007
    This movie wasn't bad, but the preview for it gives the wrong impression. I thought it was about something completely diff. from what it was really about.
  • June 20, 2007
    weird didnt even watch the whole thing didnt really like it
  • June 20, 2007
    I was pissed when I found out this was about an effing crocodile.
  • June 20, 2007
    this was a good movie I didn't know that this was based off of a true story.
  • June 20, 2007
    this movie kinda reminded me of something but I can't think of it. not the greatest but okay.
  • June 20, 2007
    A weak story and a worse script. About 60 minutes too long.
