65 is a science fiction story that takes place on Earth 65 million years in the past and follows a pilot and a young girl who find themselves trapped on the planet. Now they are in a position where they have to do whatever it takes to live in an uncharted landscape that is full of vicious prehistoric monsters and an asteroid that is rapidly closing in on them.
Review: The entertainment industry in Hollywood is fixated on making films about catastrophic events, in which the world is either about to end or a vicious beast is forced to battle people for no fault of its own. The story of '65' follows a similar path, with the exception that it is set around 65 million years ago, at a time when humanity had not yet found Earth. Even though they were from another planet, their language was English.

As a result, when Mills (played by Adam Driver) crash-lands on Earth, he swiftly regains his feet and his breath, but he is met with opposition by several powerful dinosaurs, who dominate the world. It falls to him to take care of a little girl named Koa (Ariana Greenblatt), who must be returned to her home planet. To make it even more difficult for him, she is unable to communicate with him in his native tongue and continually triggers memories of his late daughter.
Other than the fact that it is set 65 million years in the past and that humans are really aliens from another planet, the premise of "65" does not provide much in the way of originality in terms of storylines. Yet the fact that the starring guy of the movie, who is strangely called Adam, is the first man on earth, but he is clothed like a child from the present day, speaks perfect English, and fights gigantic animals all by himself while having no special abilities is just as hard to believe.
In point of fact, it is a fantastical concept that seems to have been rushed into being developed into this larger-than-life visual extravaganza with little to no forethought. It seems like a lot of work was put into making it look realistic (and a lot of it does), but the people who made it probably never felt it was vital to truly make it look convincing as well.
The visual effects are pretty impressive, with the exception of a few spots when they fall flat, and the cinematography, which was done by Salvatore Totino, is beautiful. It is the one ace in the hole that can save the script, which, for the most part, is mundane and dull to the point of being insufferable. The pace of the movie is entirely too sluggish for the tale that it conveys, and the interactions between the only two people who appear on the screen (Mills and Koa) are dull and uninteresting.
What it required was a storyline that was gripping on an emotional level and an execution that was continuously action-packed. Both Adam Miller and Ariana Greenblatt turn in a performance that is just adequate, which is partially their fault but also a reflection of the soullessness of the writing.
The scenes in which the dinosaurs engage in combat with one another, either by killing or being killed, are the most exciting parts of the movie. Nevertheless, on the other hand, this is certainly not "Jurassic Park." There is no amount of dino scare that can come close to matching what Steven Spielberg delivered us back in the nineties. '65' is marketed as an epic tale of survival set in the distant past, but making it through this lackluster thriller seemed like a real millennium's worth of time.
