Mar 10, 2023 · A sci-fi flick about Adam Driver and a girl stranded on Earth 65 million years ago, fighting dinosaurs and trying to escape. The film is boring, underdeveloped, and cheesy, with a contradictory premise and no humor or tension.

Remember 2011’s Cowboys & Aliens? 65 is a movie that dares to take that same simple idea of a kid smashing two of his favorite toys together and give us Space Dad & Dinosaurs, a breezy sci-fi survival mission that delivers what's on the tin and little more. Writers and directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods – who wrote the much fiercer invasion stunner A Quiet Place and pulled double duty on the gruesome yet underwhelming Halloween horror movie Haunt – emphasize ferocious special effects, a fast tempo, and adventurous tension. It’s a straightforward story of a man protecting a child that will someday fit well into syndicated Father's Day marathons on channels like TBS or TNT. Don't expect the next Jurassic Park or even Jurassic World. 65 pleases the most basic expectations, and that's good enough for the entertaining concept to survive for 90 minutes.
Beck and Woods favorably draw from ‘80s and ‘90s action movies centered around a hero whose family-driven motivations are more compelling than another cardboard action-hero cutout trying to beat a body count record. Adam Driver's space pilot Mills survives a white-knuckle crash landing filled with asteroid damage that drops him on Earth 65 million years ago, and it’s not long before dinosaurs start trying to take bites out of the stranded visitor. Adding Ariana Greenblatt's young survivor, Koa — who speaks a different language — creates a fatherhood instinct that drives Mills. Thanks to her, Driver gets to do more than shoot energy bullets at animated dinosaurs, which suits his flair for expressive facial reactions and outbursts. Koa needs Mills' tactical skills, Mills needs Koa's daughter representation, and 65 needs their parent-child dynamic to elevate even a single notch above point-and-shoot generics.
That father-daughter relationship acts like tossing some Hallmark warmth into a prehistoric episode of Survivor (...with futuristic tools [scratches head]). Driver's commitment as an overprotective caretaker shines, while Greenblatt's playful scamp can be a delight. The communication barrier between the two might not add much to the story, nor does their emotional journey go anywhere special, but Driver and Greenblatt mold a sweet relationship together that make it easy to root for Mills and Koa as they overcome separate familial subplots. It’s something like After Earth, but far better.

65 is a capable action-thriller with a softer side when it comes to its family-centered survival motivations. That doesn't negate the excitement when Adam Driver must square off with fearsome, great-looking dinosaurs. Writers and directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods don't overcomplicate 65 beyond acting on primal instincts, and while that leads to ...
