When a top-secret laboratory is unexpectedly breached, thousands of rampaging raptors are unleashed on Los Angeles! A black-ops unit is mobilized to contain the creatures before they cause city-wide chaos. Simultaneously, a truckload of raptors is rerouted to a nearby prison. Upon their escape, these ferocious flesh-eaters are beyond containment. This is Jurassic judgment night for smoking hot sorority girls, sinister scientists, muscle-bound military and doomed death-row inmates! It's about to get bloody in Jurassic City! Prehistoric animals emerge from a science lab and tear up most of Los Angeles. This movie is a cheap version of a Jurassic Park movie. I guess they were trying to piggyback off of the upcoming release of Jurassic World (2015) at the time this movie came out. In the movie, a secret laboratory in Las Angeles contains dinosaurs (without a real deep development of how or why), and inevitably these dinosaurs escape. To avoid them reeking havoc in the city, they are diverted to a prison where the dinosaurs have run-ins with an unlikely team of inmates consisting of a rapists on death row, a small group of sorority teens in for a misdemeanor, and a trippy druggy. The effects, as dinosaurs rip humans apart, look like they can be done by any amateur with a few prosthetics. The acting was even worse. If it was intended to be a B horror movie, it might not be so bad, but I really don't think it was supposed to be. Leave the dinosaur movies to Michael Chrichton and Steven Spielberg. 'Jurassic City' takes 3 young ladies into prison after a night of too much drinking and unsuccessful driving. Next door to them, a rapist and murderer is locked up. Just when they think it couldn't get any worse, a bunch of dinosaurs breaks into the prison. A politician unleashed them onto the city, believing that if he saves the city, he will be elected president. This cunning plan would only work if nobody ever asked where the dinosaurs came from in the first place. Anyway, the bad murderer guy takes a gun from the warden and start shooting the dinosaurs. A bunch of special forces tried the same, with more fire power but without any success. The 3 above mentioned young ladies now have to figure out how to get past the dinosaurs and the heavily armed madman…<br/><br/>It's a rather crazy low budget action flick, but it was entertaining, I give them that. Compared to director Sean Cain's previous effort 'Jurassic Attack', the animation doesn't look as awful as last time, but that's probably owed to the darkness of the prison, mercifully hiding the technical weaknesses which were more obvious in the sunshine outside.
