Reel Film called it "an effort that's pretty much a wash on every level, and it hardly seems likely that Roger Corman himself would be able to muster up a convincing recommendation."[3]
Dread Central said the film "doesn’t bring anything new to the formula, nor does it even aspire to do so. That would be acceptable if it at least did a good job being a retread. It doesn’t."[4]
Plot
An army convoy is attacked by terrorists who think that they are stealing uranium. But they soon discover that they stole a truckload of living frozen biological material instead of uranium. Once in a dockside warehouse, two frozen Velociraptors and a Tyrannosaurus rex escape and kill terrorists before the police arrive, expecting to find drug dealers. After finding the sole survivor, the police are killed inside the warehouse by the dinosaurs. A special counter-terrorism force led by Colonel Rance Higgins is called in by General Mercer where they find body parts and a refrigerated truck rather than uranium. They maneuver through the warehouse boxes until two of them are killed.
The survivors learn from Dr. Hodges that these dinosaurs have been genetically rebuilt and are now the last three "carnosaurs" still in existence. The dinosaurs were on their way to a government research facility, and it is clearly stated that they must be captured alive, due to the potential to cure major diseases. A huge shipment of meat is on the dock, so the three remaining soldiers hunt in this area, encountering a unit of Marine who have come as reinforcements. Private Polchek is given tranquilizer to shoot the dinosaurs while the group sets up a decoy and net trap with meat. One of the Velociraptor attacks and almost succeeds in dragging Polchek away, but is shot down.
The raptor is taken to the base for examination. Hodges soon theorizes the regeneration of Velociraptor and asexual reproduction of T. rex. Once recovered, the injured Velociraptor wakes up and begins to attack. The T. rex also appears and kills a soldier before escaping with the Velociraptor to an agricultural transport ship. With Marines member Rossi as captain, the team decides to move the ship out to sea and use its coolant to freeze the dinosaurs.
When it comes time to explore the lower decks of the ship, the raptors kill a few more soldiers. The survivors make it to an elevator, but a Velociraptor gnaws through the cable and they crash on the lower level. There, the team discovers a nest of eggs and begins to shoot it, angering T. rex, who kills Polchek. The survivors eventually decide to kill the dinosaurs by blowing up the ship with dynamite.
The T. rex bursts through the ceiling and drags Rossi through before killing him. The two Velociraptors are shot after one of them kills Marine member Proudfoot. Hodges feels the T. rex is near. She and Rance hide behind lockers that the T. rex headbutts. Rance throws an explosive into the dinosaur's mouth, killing it. The two race against time to jump into the ocean before the ship explodes. Back in a police cruiser at the port, the lone surviving terrorist is still bound and gagged in the back seat when a Velociraptor soon appears outside the vehicle and attacks him.
