Marchant set out on a quest "The Dinosaur Project" with his team of explorers, with the aim of finding the water creature whose origins were rooted in myth. his son Luke hid in their luggage compartment of the helicopter the team were riding. hovering over the sky of an isolated African jungle, the helicopter was attacked and brought down by a flock of strange birds that looked surprisingly similar to the Pterosaurs. while they tried to survive until they were rescued, the team came across different variety of dinosaurs, which civilization had presumed extinct for million for years.
The Dinosaur Project (2012) felt like some low-budget action film that adapted the ideas from Cloverfield (2008) and Jurassic Park (1993). it was painful to watch as the film was supposedly shot from Luke's pocket cameras, where he ran and stumbled all over the place, jotting our images like the terrible Cloverfield (2008) did, fortunately not enough to cause nauseousness. the plot was fairy simple, the team strolled through the jungle, got killed one by one. when the team got down to only a few left, one of the unsuspected member turned into the bad guy and started killing people instead. Marchant and Luke had such bad father-and-son relationship that it was obvious that they had to patch up and of course, right before one of them die. the only scenes worth watching were the dinosaurs. they were believable and having such closeups, it was a thrill to look at.
