‘65’
Despite the bad title, non-existent marketing, and therefore predictably low box office numbers, I’m here to tell you that the Adam Driver dinosaur movie, 65—which is now available to buy or rent on digital—is an absolute blast. Here’s the premise: Adam Driver is an alien whose spaceship crash-lands on Earth… 65 million years ago. In order to defend himself, as well as the young girl (Ariana Greenblatt) who also survives the crash, these aliens are going to need to fight the goddamn dinosaurs. And you better believe that includes the mighty T-Rex. It’s a chaotic combination of Jurassic Park, Alien, and Star Trek. It doesn’t reinvent the sci-fi or monster movie genres, but it sure is a lot of fun. Also? It’s a tight 95 minutes. Can’t beat that.
