“The world's toughest cop is getting a brand new partner. And he's a real blast from the past!”

FantasyScience FictionFamilyComedy

In an alternate futuristic society, a tough female police detective is paired with a talking dinosaur to find the killer of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals leading them to a mad scientist bent on creating a new Armageddon.

VIBE

A bizarrely charming, retro-futuristic romp. This film feels like a Saturday morning cartoon for adults, blending dinosaur antics with a surprisingly earnest buddy-cop dynamic. It's a colorful, offbeat adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously.
