Info

The dinosaurs didn't go completely extinct when the asteroids hit 65 million years ago. Today, every ten thousandth person in the country is a dinosaur, evolved to be human-sized, wearing sophisticated solid-light holographic disguises to maintain the facade, getting stoned off regular cooking herbs like basil, rosemary and tarragon, and living by their own shadow government's laws; any human who stumbles upon them is to be immediately executed. Two dino private investigators, velociraptor Vincent Rubio and triceratops Ernie Watson, are hired by one of Ernie's old girlfriends to find out why her younger brother committed suicide, and discover a dino cult called Voice Of Progress that wants dinokind to come out of the closet and reclaim the planet.

Anonymous Rex Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain I really kind of enjoyed this. Not what I was expecting at all. The idea of dinosaurs surviving and living among people raises many questions, none of which go answered. It brings about familiarities with Men in Black and Alien Nation. Luckily, it falls into a weird void of comedic, cheesy, sci-fi noir. Our protagonist is one of these dinosaurs used to "silence" human witnesses. Immediately this causes a lot of interest, as we have a character that essentially kills humans, most of whom are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. At the same time the film does well to make us empathise with their plight. He is also a private detective, which leads to some rather knowing voice-overs. The best thing is that he is a conflicted character, one that kind of believes that the dinosaurs should stop living in the shadows, and rise up against the humans. Obviously the effects aren't up to much and they will generate chuckles. The science is out the window, just go with it. This will be a great film for B Movie fans, as it doesn't take itself too seriously, but doesn't hide its shortcomings with over-the-top winks at the camera. I also enjoyed the techniques employed for the dinosaur destruction flashback (using toys), and the visual representations to the different pheromones.
merklekranz Preposterous premise, bad acting, annoying camera speed ups, and ninety minutes of nonsense. That would accurately describe "Anonymous Rex", an amateurish wannabe sci-fi. It's sad to see the likes of Faye Dunaway and Isaac Hayes in this disaster. The presence of Daniel Baldwin is not surprising, as he has an almost unblemished record of appearing in rubbish films. This is supposed to be a science fiction / detective drama investigating an underground society of surviving dinosaurs, that somehow have adapted to human size and form with holographic disguises. If you can buy that premise, then I guess this is your movie. Others beware. - MERK
jean-197 What a find for a fun sci fi flick! If it ain't a cult classic, it should be. Engaging acting, really well-written film noir spoof. We couldn't stop chuckling - all the while enjoying the sci fi plot. Looked as fun to make as it was to watch - I'd make it a must for a film class. Loved the small but effective special effects - no expensive whammies - and the movie did not suffer a bit for it. Same with locations - what a great example of a good sci fi movie, fun as all get-out, without having to be a mega-bucks extravaganza. Loved the casting, and was fun to see Faye Dunaway flicking a reptilian tongue at the audience. Fine ensemble acting. For me, the humorous, well-written script was the gem of the movie.
Oldmate Appalling.I found myself getting angry and bewildered watching this. I simply could not believe that so many people involved in making such a travesty could so willingly waste my time. I just can not stop shaking my head in disbelief. Really, I can't imagine how those poor souls out there with a great idea for a film that they can't get made feel when they stumble across this. It is worth watching simply to store in the dark corners of your mind to bring up when someone asks "What is the worst movie you've seen?" I was scrolling through the channels on T.V looking for something when I saw this bizarre description about a mutant Velociraptor detective disguised as a human. Thinking that it surely can't be as bad as it sounds and might be good for a few laughs, I jumped in. I was wrong. It was worse, even, than it sounds.I pride myself on watching any movie through to the end, but I confess I just couldn't make the distance. The laughs at the poor special effects (really, I can't adequately describe how bad) and the dialogue, which is worse than most porno's, soon ran out.Sometimes it can be fun to see those 'so bad they're funny' movies, but I can't even slot this debacle into that category.
