65 – A Dino-Filled Adventure with a Touching Story: #SciFi #MovieReview
This movie isn’t perfect, but it is fun. Especially if you like dinosaurs.
Yay! Dinosaurs! 65 is a thrilling journey back in time, blending elements of science fiction and adventure with the allure of dinosaurs. As a fan of movies featuring these prehistoric creatures, I found 65 to be a satisfying and enjoyable experience, despite a few flaws.
The film introduces us to pilot Mills, who embarks on a two-year space expedition to earn money for his daughter Nevine’s treatment. The story takes an unexpected turn when Mills’ spaceship crash-lands on an alien planet, later revealed to be Earth, 65 million years in the past. The narrative kicks into high gear when Mills discovers a lone survivor, Koa, a young girl with whom he must navigate communication challenges due to language differences and a broken translator.
One notable aspect of 65 is the bond that forms between Mills and Koa as they navigate the dangers of the alien planet, now inhabited by Earth’s dinosaurs. The film effectively blends action with moments of emotional depth, especially as Koa watches video messages from Nevine, adding a layer of poignancy to their journey.
The film’s flaw, as you mentioned, lies in the communication barrier between the two main characters. While it adds an element of realism to their predicament, it occasionally hinders the flow of the story. The action sequences, particularly the encounters with various dinosaurs, are visually stunning . The filmmakers successfully capture the awe and danger associated with these ancient creatures, making them a central and captivating element of the film.
As the story progresses, the revelation of Mills’ personal tragedy and the impending asteroid strike add urgency and depth to the plot. The climax, featuring a creative and intense showdown with a hybrid dinosaur, is a highlight of the film. The combination of strategy, resourcefulness, and teamwork makes for a satisfying resolution to the characters’ journey.
The ending, showcasing the evolution of Earth from the point where Mills and Koa left, provides a poignant and reflective touch to the film. It connects the adventure with the broader context of Earth’s history.
Despite its minor flaws, 65 delivers an entertaining and heartfelt experience. I enjoyed it. I forgave it for not having dinosaurs eat more people since there were only two people in the story. The story would have been mighty short if they had gotten eaten. I give it a one beer rating.
