Pterodactyl (2005)
7/10
Quite enjoyable creature feature

Warning: Spoilers
I recently watched Pterodactyl for the first time after a mate taped it for me off the Sci-fi Channel as I don't have this. Despite quite a number of bad reviews, this movie I thought was quite enjoyable.

A group of scientists head for a dormant volcano but end up confronting terrorists and a group of Pteranodons even though they should be extinct. Also in this area, there are some American soldiers who are hunting a terrorist and manage to catch him. These soldiers eventually team up with the scientists and together, they battle these Prehistoric beasts. One of them picks up a woman and feeds her to the young, where we see loads of Pterodactyl eggs ready to hatch. She is eventually rescued after most of the party have been ripped apart and eaten. The creatures are burned at the end but something else is lurking up the mountain, **SPOILER** a T-Rex...

This is quite gory in parts, especially the scenes of the Pterosaurs literally tearing people in half.

I'm not really familiar with any of the cast which includes Cameron Daddo and Coolio.

If you like movies about Prehistoric creatures, you should enjoy Petrodactyl. Not too bad.

Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
