Review – Aztec Rex

If you reshot Apocalypto as a Sci Fi Channel movie, this is most likely what you’d end up with. The idea – to the extent there is one – is that in his (fictional) first voyage to the Americas, Cortez and a small band of conquistadors end up in a valley inhabited by a small group of Aztecs who worship a pair of tyrannosaurs. Cortez’s ratty wig notwithstanding, the real star of the show is the special effects, bad even by Sci Fi standards. Indeed, I recorded this in advance based on the assumption that The Soup would whet my appetite to watch it (not a bad guess, as it turned out). Still, I suppose I should be grateful for such video-game-esque CGI. If the monsters were any more realistic, I might have actually felt sorry for them. See if desperate
