So today I was with my dad, and he turned this on for some reason. I had no idea what it was about beforehand, I have never been fond of found footage shit. It was incredibly cheesy, and the characters were all extremely annoying. At one point I jokingly said I bet this movie has dinosaurs, and sure enough there were dinosaurs. Of course you never even see them, but they're there.

Whoa, whoa, wait just a bloody second. What happened here? How on earth can a found footage DINOSAUR movie (Oh yes) not be entirely superawesomecool? Oh yeah, if it doesn’t actually show any dinosaurs.
Tape 407 follows the survivors of an aeroplane crash, whom find themselves inside a government testing area and pursued by predatory creatures. Sorry, no, that’s wrong. Tape 407 follows a bunch of whiny, whingey, irritatingly annoying people whom (regrettably) make it out of a plane crash. They find themselves in Jurassic Park, populated by inexplicably invisible dinosaurs that just roar a lot. There you go.
The cast don’t really act at…

Why did I bothered with this? Worst found footage film I saw and the worst 2012 film also! There's no reason why they keep filming and all they do is screaming and shouting stupid things. There is zero suspense and characters do the most stupid things. Avoid this piece of crap!

I really like and watch almost anything in the found footage GENRE, - so when i say this is easily one of the worst, most insipid entries - I know of which I speak

Um, you have a car idiots…get in it, and just drive away. The end.
This nauseating chaos of hand held dizziness is not only stressful to watch, but to witness the decisions made by these people is a true exercise in human stupidity…what’s worse, you never get to see the rapturous monster until the last second of the film, and that final twist is highly misjudged.

I'm not really a lover of found-footage movies, I can barely stand all the shaky scenes and interferences...
And this movie is like this : shaky camera, noisy teenager, bad images, darkness.
But I almost enjoyed it, even if also the story is not that original.
The building up of the anxiety is good, characters are enough defined and the director balanced correctly what to see / not to see.
SFX are just decent. -
No sé por qué me castigo con estas cosas, si en los primeros diez minutos lo vi venir... Vaya tela.

I knew I'd hate this film from the annoying girl and her camera in the very opening scene and I was right. Tape 407 is yet another part of the too many retard shaky cam films out there. It's utterly retarded how everybody behaved and the fact that it was a government controlled experiment does not excuse that fact. Stay clear from this utter piece of crap!

I love found-footage flicks. It seems most people hate them, but I really do love them and try to watch each new one as it comes out. All of that can also be said for dinosaur flicks as well, as I've always been a huge dinosaur fanboy for as far back as I can remember. Suffice to say that between those two loves, I was really looking forward to this movie, especially after the excellent, albeit small, promotional campaign.
Sadly, this movie fell way below my expectations. Most of the action and ALL of the deaths happen off-screen. The most you ever see of the dinosaurs is exactly what you see in the trailer - I shit you not, not…

Just plain bad! The acting is terrible! The plot is terrible! The ending is terrible! Bad, Bad, Bad!

For a made-for-tv horror film, I really expected this to be worse than it was. That said, this is not a good movie. Unfortunately, the incredibly cool premise - a group of people survive a plane crash, but, unbeknownst to them, they've landed in Area 407, which will make surviving the plane crash seem easy - is brutally killed by horrendous characters that the audience wants to see die.
The main characters are all virtually unlikeable, with a couple (Trish, the 8-15 year old girl, I couldn't really tell from the way everyone was treating her, and her sister who never stopped whining and complaining) that you legitimately want to see die. Trish's voice is beyond grating, and the fact…

The worst found-footage film I've seen. It's like watching the annoying mutant baby of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and FUTURE WAR.
