Mike Capes as Grant looking worried with blood on his face and the raptor lit up in The Invisible Raptor
Ever since Steven Spielberg adapted Michael Criction's iconic novel, Jurassic Park has remained the template for the dinosaur genre in film, with everything else either parodying or homaging the 1993 Oscar winner. Amidst the crowd, there have been a variety of movies with their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks, which Mike Capes and Johnny Wickham's The Invisible Raptor aims to be, and yet the seemingly self-aware feature finds itself way too bogged down by its underwhelming script.
✕ Remove Ads The Movie Can't Find Its Tonal Rhythm Between An Overlong Runtime & Imbalanced Atmosphere, The Invisible Raptor Fails To Captivate With a name like The Invisible Raptor, one would think that the movie would know exactly what it's going for and stick to that. This would include the movie's tone, as the self-aware nature of the title suggests it's strictly going for a combination of a comedic slant and as inventive of kills as possible.
This tonal imbalance also feels like it largely stems from the film being far too long. In comparison to most modern movies, a nearly two-hour runtime certainly sounds more reasonable, but for a concept like the one that drives The Invisible Raptor forward, it risks overstaying its welcome by trying to make things as much about the characters as the titular monster. The fact I checked where I was in the movie at multiple points is a true indicator of just how poorly paced and overlong it is.
