Tovah Feldshue is a difficult actress to watch in even the best productions, in this it is downright torturous. Her grating voice and hag-like expressions don't deliver the horror and disgust the producers were hoping for but instead genuine horror and disgust. The show would have been ok with someone like Sean Young or Linda Hamilton but that wasn't the case. The young actors seem ok but who knows. Breathing in the stench of all that rotting ham might have fogged their minds , and their talent. All in all this had potential but due to a couple of peculiar casting choices the whole thing comes off as amateur hour.
This is not what happened. More revisionist history from supposed entertainers who are now trying to teach Netflix viewership the history of life on this planet? Is this some sort of sick joke? Spielberg is just trying to milk the dinosaurs for as much money as he can since he's already exploited the Jewish people, destroyed the world's shark population and and bored everyone to death with his preaching. This is boring television and is bad even by Netflix standards. Nothing Spielberg has done has been accurate historically and this is no exception - pure fiction but dressed up as edutainment television. Don't waste your time.
Reptile is a tedious and uninspiring attempt to mimic the success of shows like "True Detective." From the very beginning, it's clear that this crime drama is a poor imitation, lacking the depth and intrigue that made the latter a hit. The plot plods along at a snail's pace, failing to maintain any semblance of suspense or mystery.
The characters are unengaging and their development is lackluster at best. Their interactions feel contrived, and it's challenging to invest in their fates. Unlike "True Detective," which expertly balanced complex characters and a gripping storyline, "Reptile" falls flat.
The film's attempt to explore dark themes and criminal investigations is a pale shadow of what's been done before. It feels like a half-hearted, derivative attempt to cash in on the success of a superior show, leaving audiences with a sense of disappointment and boredom.
