The excellent Adam Driver plus dinosaurs - what could possibly go wrong? The film posits a humanoid civilisation on a distant planet, with Driver the father setting off on a two-year exploration mission to earn money for his sick daughter's treatment. One meteor shower later, the ship crash lands on a hostile planet which turns out to be Earth, 65 million years ago, and so begins the battle for survival. The film strives for epic with wide visuals and a bombastic score, but quite simply very little happens over its lean 92 minutes; occasionally, dino-creatures turn up and Driver shoots at them, and that is about it. As ever, Adam Driver invests in his character earnestly, but the high concept idea that makes up the film's engine actually develops very little.
