THE PLOT:

A doctor receives a delivery of prehistoric fish that was believed extinct. But the gamma radiation bombardment it got just before leaving to America has a strange effect to it. Anyone exposed to the blood of the fish mutate band devolves back to a prehistory version of himself. The dog turns into a prehistory wolf, a dragonfly and the professor himself.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

I love the dragonfly and the dog creature effects, the story is far fetched but suspend the disbelief and try having fun. But I found the creature effects for Donald when he turns into the Neanderthal was weak. I give it 5 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

The creature effects for the Neanderthal was just lame, that rubber mask looked like a cheap rubber mask. But I agree, I love the Dragonfly effects, is it enough to save the movie? Yes, but just barely. I give it 3 STARS.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ DRAGONFLY (I love the dragonfly, VOLTRON thinks they should have used fishing line instead of the black thread.)
+ DOG (The wolf effects were also impressive.)
+ STORY (The story works, if not unrealistic.)

...AND FINALLY...

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- RUBBER MASK (The rubber mask looked really bad.)
