'65' seems like it could be fun, with Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs, but the film unfortunately completely squanders its potential. Our review:
There is something remarkable about how completely 65 wastes all it had going for it. Taking Adam Driver, one of the best actors working today, and throwing him onto a prehistoric Earth where he has to fight dinosaurs seems like it could be a solid little action flick. Whoever it was that edited the film’s trailer together should be given a raise, as it made it seem like the final product might actually be a thrilling science fiction ride that could possibly even bring some notes of horror.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY This all begins with on-screen text informing us of the necessary information to understand that our humanoid protagonist Mills is actually part of an entirely different species than our own. Living on a planet that is far from Earth, he is about to take on a job that will whisk him away from his family for two years.
From the first moment Mills encounters one of his few dinosaur foes as he goes out to get his bearings, the effects are painfully unconvincing no matter how much Driver dutifully rolls around. This becomes a persistent problem that the film will occasionally get around by using darkness as a cover, but that can only go so far. They are often bigger than the dinosaurs in something like Jurassic Park, but the way it integrates them into the story just falls flat.
