65: Okay I'll Admit I Did Not See THAT Coming

Honestly this doesn't look to bad, a little cliche but still interesting. I honestly thought that this was set on an alien world until they revealed what 65 meant and I saw the T=Rex. I'm a little annoyed that the raptor is clearly another Jurassic Park Velociraptor which, (as Chuck pointed out) is a fictional creature made for the films and that none of the Dinos have feathers (though some paleontologist do think that Rex may have been featherless) but I can put that aside.

At the very least it's a nice twist on the standard "Stranded on an Alien Planet that turns out to really be Earth" Story and again I was completely fooled.

We don't know that this is an alien world. We don't know what '65' means; the most obvious conclusion is that it refers to the sixty-five million years since there were dinosaurs, but that could be an intentionally misleading quip.

We don't even know that it's actually a T-Rex.

The Trailer literally states that this is prehistoric Earth, the synopsis says this is prehistoric Earth and the they literally include 65 Million Years Ago, in the Trailer.

Trailers lie, and are simply incorrect, surprisingly often.

Well I don't disagree but I don't see what could be gained by lying here. With the Last of Us or Avengers: Endgame I get it as both had major plot twists that they didn't want fans to know so they lied in the Marketing but this, guy from the future lands on prehistoric Earth and fights Dinosaurs. The only twist that could come out of this is if this turns out to Anthro from DC Comics or is a Prequel/Sequel to Jurassic Park.

The premise can't be as straightforward as it seems because where did the local girl come from?

She does not appear local. Clip had him find a pod when he says he found one survivor. A child.


Oddly this looks, I hate to say this, good. As in Adam Driver getting to act.

Given the creationists who insist that humans and dinosaurs co-existed are both insane and desperate for anything pandering to their delusions, I'm not thrilled about things that appeal to them.
