The film follows two survivors of a spaceship crash who must navigate a world ruled by dinosaurs in a race against an impending asteroid strike. While the concept is captivating, the execution leaves much to be desired. The performances, particularly from the leads, are commendable, yet the script often falls into predictable patterns. The visual effects are impressive, bringing the dinosaurs to life in a visceral manner. However, the pacing suffers in parts, leading to moments of disconnection from the characters. Overall, 65 is an entertaining watch for fans of the genre but may not resonate with those seeking deeper storytelling. Show less

The idea of battling dinosaurs while trying to escape an asteroid is undeniably thrilling, yet the film feels like it’s trying too hard to be a blockbuster without the substance to back it up. The characters lack depth, making it difficult to invest emotionally in their survival. The action sequences are visually striking, but they often overshadow the weak plot. I found myself wishing for more character development and meaningful interactions. While some may find enjoyment in the dinosaur action, for me, it felt like a missed opportunity. If you’re in the mood for mindless entertainment, 65 might suffice, but don’t expect a memorable cinematic experience. Show less
