With a bid T-Rex on the cover you would think this is a movie about a rampaging dinosaur. It is not. The film revolves around a pharmaceutical firm that has created a new drug known as the Eden Formula. It has the possibility of wiping out many diseases and even holding off aging. As a big PR stunt, the formula was used to create a tyrannosaurus. But a disgruntled past partner wants to get his hands on the formula. With a bunch of mercenaries he takes control of the facility so that he can get his hands on the data and samples. When unlocking the safes, they also unlock the dinosaur cage and it gets out.

A late meeting has a couple of executives still on site. When they realize what is happening, they take steps to prevent the theft of their discovery. Meanwhile the dinosaur gets a handful of cameos as it stumbles upon the odd person out in the city. But the real dram is inside with the mercenaries and executives trying to outsmart one another. Eventually both groups run into the dinosaur briefly and the film reaches some form of conclusion.

The characters seem to have been added in at the last minute. The main attacker seems like a grunt and not a scientist. One of the executives spends most of her time reacting like a little girl. Its like they put characters in place and then later wrote their back stories. Badly. The dinosaur goes between looking like decent CGI to a bad puppet and keeps looking different. Its scenes are almost comic relief. All in all this doesn't even qualify as a good late-night film. If you want to see how a very good creature film can be made on a small budget, check out Night Feeders and avoid this one.

They could of made this movie a heck of a lot better just by making the dinosaur scenes a bit more accurate. All they had to do was make the T.rex a little less puppet-like. He gets goofier every time the action starts
rising. It could of been a little bit more terrifying if the actors where a bit better, not poor, old, runts. And, they could of used better CGI on the T.rex scenes.-Six year old film critic

If you've seen the first three Carnosaur movies, you've seen this one. They take footage from the first three and add a little bit. The first three movies were cheesy fun, this one was just...no.

Now I am the one that likes the cheesy movies but this was one of the worst movies ever. It looks like the "Carnivore movies" were copied and pasted all over this film scenes and scenarios accept for the people. This movie was too good for Jeff Fahey and Tony Todd they usually do much better movies than this one.. Don't waste the money......

Someone in Hollywood must be REALLY desperate to make some money and fast. This film is so silly itis beyond description.

For starters, Americans do not know how to do a dinosaur movie. Leave that to the Japanese.

For a big star, Jeff Fahrey must have been desperate to lower his standards to have been persuaded to film in such stupidity.

A complete waste of time all way around.

omg, this movie is so funny!aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! help! help!im being attacked by barney the dinosaur!!!! seriously, its been a wile since i saw this moviebut i still remember parts taken from the carnosaur movies.y is the girl from et in this?any way, it looks like a hand puppet on a blue sreen.the scene where they are shootin a movie, then the t-rex comes and eats em all, is actually better than the actual movie.seriously, dont buy it, dont even rent it. the only excuse is if u want to luegh really hard. if so, i recomend shark attack 3:megalodon. (ha! ha! ha! ha!)
