For some reason, many people do not like this movie. Its probably because they thock it was going to be a human killing other people, like all the other films out there. Its not! This movie is about not only a giant crocodile, but also political issues in Africa. It was very entertaining, action packed, anf FAR better than Anacondas or Jaws. GIVE IT A TRY, YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!

What Parents Need to Know
About Primeval
Parents need to know that this creature-centric horror movie includes lots of bloody violence: The film's giant crocodile rips up and eats people, militiamen shoot at civilians, a family is executed, and more. There's discussion of "black-on-black violence" in the United States and Africa. A teenager character shoots a villain and is upset by it. An attempted rape scene involves a rough assault, ripped clothing, and the female victim's distress. Some drinking and smoking; language includes multiple uses of "f--k," plus other obscenities and sexual slang.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the characters' different attitudes toward the crocodile. Why does Matt want to capture it and Krieg want to kill it? Is either of them right? How do the civil war storyline and the crocodile-hunting plot parallel each other? The movie claims to be based on true events; how accurate do you think it is? If you've seen it, how does this movie compare to National Geographic's story of the real Gustave?

Crocidile + Blood Dimond = Primeval
My son wanted to watch this for a while so we rented it. I excpected it to be poor, like most monster movies. But I found that the croc wasn't too cheesy and the plot was very good. It really explained the wars over in Africa and put Gustave on the spot light.
