Jeez guys - never thought I’d find so many rival contenders for the Adam Driver thirst crown right here in my own backyard.
 

I hope this is great. Need something to wash the Jurassic World taste out of my mouth.

I'm guessing it's not a big part of the plot, as even without that trailer, the fact it's called 65 should mean anyone with half a brain would clock it was Earth the moment a dino pops up.

 

Well, I hope so...Batman V Superman :doh:

It's just Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs with a big gun, and is undoubtedly going to be the best film ever.


the dinosaurs have a big gun?

 

I'm in!

Just seen that the runtime is a pleasingly brisk 93 minutes, of which about 7 minutes will likely be credits.

 

After years of 2 hour plus blockbusters, appreciate the b-movie duration.

I, along with anyone else who has watched the trailer, has seen this film already.

 

Adam Driver, who flies spaceships to get over the loss of his child, goes through a wormhole without realising and crash lands on ancient earth.

 

He has to eject when he’s unable to salvage a landing. All the escape pods malfunction aside from one belonging to a little kid who reminds him of his lost child.

 

He realised that it’s a dangerous place and works out he’s gone back in time when dinosaurs turn up. For some reason both he and the kid are able to breathe the Cretaceous period air just fine.

 

Fortunately he has futuristic weaponry to shoot dinosaurs with. More fortunately the peanut brain sized dinosaurs don’t realise that he has a glowing ammo remaining counter lit up on the side of his weapon otherwise they might know when he’s running out of ammo. There’s a T Rex.

 

The kid gets grabbed by a flying dinosaur to be placed alive in its nest for new hatchlings to learn to kill and eat. It has to be a flying dinosaur so Adam Driver has a longish perilous journey to cover to get to the kid, who obviously has a tracking device on her.

 

Adam Driver chases after the kid but wait…what’s that in the sky? You, the viewer realises that the title of the film is a rather big clue that there was a rather big event 65 million years ago in the shape of a huge fucking asteroid bearing down on earth. For some reason it’s preceded by a smaller meteor shower that almost certainly never happened but looks cool on the screen.

 

Adam Driver had to get the kid back AND get off the planet before everything goes nuclear. There is a T Rex and a cave. Adam Driver rescues the kid and flies off just as the Meteorite (as it’s now called when it enters an atmosphere) touches ground. Expect commonly known aspects of physics to go out the window at this point.

 

Adam Driver finds the wormhole again, somehow, maybe the meteorite ripped a hole in space time in space somehow and they escape. 
 

They end up back on earth in their current day but the radio isn’t working so they can’t tell anyone they’re back. With the engines going squiffy they have to land somewhere remote. They get out of the spaceship only to be surrounded by Mayans/Peasants in the French Revolution/Trenches in WW1 or something and it’s the end.

Went to the cinema today with my boy to watch this. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Spoiler

Good action, two solid characters, lack of pithy dialogue because they don't speak the same language, so a little bit of The Last Of Us and a little bit of Ico in there and good dinosaur action.

Didn't outstay its welcome either, so would certainly recommend it, and it looks and sounds great on a big screen

Downloaded and watching now! I will keep you all informed.


It’s incredibly confusing. Not the plot but how Wikipedia says that they had a budget of $80 million. In 2005. The effects looks like they were made on a MacBook. (Also from 2005)

Oh, shut up. Seriously. Don't judge this on a cam version. Having watched this at the cinema today, there's nothing wrong with the FX.

He's talking about A Sound of Thunder.

Sounds like some tax dodging ruse

Ah, my mistake. Thought you were watching 65, @Strafe. Apologies.


Ban request!

 

Please, without spoilers if I’m wrong, can you say how on the money I am with my detailed plot synopsis (based entirely on the trailer)  further up in the thread? On 65, I mean.

It's a lot more streamlined than that. No time travel. 

I'm not giving much away in there.

Well, I watched the trailer on YT a few weeks ago - which specifically states it takes place on Earth, and made the mistake of scrolling to the comments. First comment was someone speculating it's set in an alternate dimension, which is why they have dinosaurs and humans together. Next person pointed out it says it's Earth in the trailer. The rest of the conversation became a debate about whether dinos died out 65 or 66 million years ago, and how popular wisdom on the matter is behind the latest scientific theories.

If you want to know the basic plot...

 

Spoiler

Driver is transporting people across space from another planet to raise money for his daughter's illness treatment. They hit the asteroids that are about to buy earth 65 million years ago. Only him and a young girl survive and they have to make it to the escape pod which is some distance away before the big one hits. 

 

That's it. It's very streamlined and they don't understand each other, and it's all the better for it.
