Can Dinosaurs Be Exciting Outside of Jurassic Park? Mr. Snidbits Review of Adam Driver’s “65”

I’m a sucker for father redemption films—maybe it’s the dad in me, but those stories just resonate. When I jumped into “65,” I had only a vague idea of its premise: a man and dinosaurs on what I assumed was an alien planet. Imagine my excitement when I realized we were actually traveling back to Earth, 65 million years ago! In hindsight, the title should have clued me in, but I thought it was just another sci-fi flick with a lackluster name.

Now, let me talk about Adam Driver. This guy is phenomenal! In “65,” he brings so much depth to his character, skillfully conveying every ounce of pain he experiences. The chemistry between him and Ariana Greenblatt is nothing short of delightful. They share some genuinely funny moments while battling their Jurassic nightmare, which makes their bond feel authentic and engaging.

But it’s not just the dinosaurs that keep you on the edge of your seat. The film incorporates intense horror and thriller elements that elevate the experience beyond your typical monster movie. I appreciate films that leave some questions unanswered, allowing for interpretation rather than neatly wrapping everything up with a bow at the end.

Overall, I genuinely enjoyed this movie. It’s got dinosaurs, a captivating storyline, and Adam Driver—what’s not to love? I’ll definitely be revisiting this gem. Forget the critics; give it a chance!

Sony Picture’s “65” is available on Digital and Physical Copy now!
