Unfortunately they don't even fit into the "so bad it's good" category. Going by The Asylum’s track record this film should be dreadful, just like all their other films.

Unfortunately they don’t even fit into the “so bad it’s good” category.

The trailer disappoints: standard Sci-Fi-Channel-type fare with bad acting and bad CGI. Having nothing to do with its namesake aside from the basic plot makes one wonder why they couldn't have called it anything else rather than sullying the name of a classic. The variety of dinosaur types intrigues me; however after "100 Million BC" I think I've learned my lesson about these kinds of movies.
