Plot: The third in a series of gory films about voracious genetically engineered dinosaurs who escape and run amok, the action starts when international terrorists hijack what they think is valuable freight.

Terrorists (dressed in badguy black) kill an army brigade in order to steal a truck full of uranium. Oopsy! The truck is full of deadly carnosaurs instead! The terrorists make a lovely snack for 3 mega-reptiles on the go. Soon, a strike force is sent in to clean up the mess, only to become fast-food themselves. Many heads, arms, and other body parts are yanked off in stringy fashion. The dino-marauders are shot w/ thousands of rounds, but are able to regenerate! This proves cost effective, as they just keep returning from their bloody ends. The final, explosive throwdown takes place on a huge freighter at sea. Ridiculous, but (barely) endurable...

i really like this movie, though i can't say it's perfect. but i think they did a pretty good job,luckily i watched this on the SCI FI channel,and boy was it worth sitting down for 2 hours,and there is even a carnosaur 4,or "raptor" i own it. but i especially liked the rubbery plastic dinosaurs, i loved the t rex and i also loved seeing the plastic monster munching on people. all in all i gave his flick a 2 of 5 it's not perfect but it's pretty good. my advise, watch it.

A Decade Later, It Still Stinks!

This may be Scott Valentine's best dramatic performance yet. And it's a darn shame. Ouch.

So you take some marines and other military guys, ala Commando or Predator, add the spitfire Hispanic girl (who, of course, dies) ala Aliens and Resident Evil. Stir in two scoops of Raptors, ala Jurassic Park. Blend one scene of shooting up the monsters eggs (Aliens again). Add a dollop of Jaws, by pushing a bomb or air tank into the montster's mouth, for explosive effect. Churn in 20,000 gallons of bad acting and cliche plot. The perfect recipe for a Bad Movie!

They should pay YOU to watch this film. But it would never be enough.

You'll like it if you've NEVER seen a movie before!

If this is your first time experiencing the wonders of cinema, if
you've never seen a "Moving Picture" before, you'll think this movie is
a child of the gods. BUT if you've seen a movie, a TV show, even Barney
the Dinosaur, then you won't be very impressed by this film. Heck
Barney the dinosaur was even more realistic than the dinos in this
flick.

Now I like B movies. I just watched "The Giant Gila Monster" right
before I watched this swill, and I liked that movie much better. It
works as a B movie. It has lamer dialog,hokier acting, cheesier effects
and an honest to gosh real Gila Monster as the monster! Carno 3 just
doesn't pack much of a B movie punch. It has some gore, and that
Polchek guy comes close to being funny a few times but this movie is
underwhelming, almost....flaccid. It's the Little Engine That Couldn't
of Dinosaur movies.
I'm not saying you shouldn't watch the movie. Some people can watch gum drying on a sidewalk and feel entertained. If you're one of those people, then give this movie a shot.

CARNOSAUR 3
Added 5/28/2006

Yes, the series has been fun, but when will they stop! I think it should have stopped at number 2, but that is my opinion. Anyway, I watched this film on tv, and...well, what can I say? It is a low- budget film about dinos. Now, the dinosaurs may look fake, but they do a good jod on getting people to 'jump' out of their seats. The story is miner. Sometimes you can tell what is going on, but sometimes your saying "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?". The goofs in the film are sometimes not even noticable, but sometime...you get the picture. The series has always been gory, and this film is very gory. If you were to fight over an argument on which film is better, Jurrassic Park 3 or Carnosaur 3, I think Carnosaur 3 would win. Do to the fact the Jurrassic Park 3 is terrible and the fact that Carnosaur 3 has better acting and story. Eacj film has almost the same story, but been changed around. In the Jurrassic Park franchise, It is always the same story. Anyway, If you really like the series, buy this one as well. It is just as good as the first two.
