Movie Cosmos - The Primevals

Description:

Deep in the Himalayas, a group of sherpas kills a gigantic humanoid creature. Convinced that it is the legendary Yeti, Dr. Claire Collier organizes an expedition with her former student Matt Connor and hunter Rondo Montana, among others, to search for more specimens. But what awaits them is something that none of them could have imagined. A colorful fusion of real image and stop-motion that is reminiscent of fantastic films from the 1980s.

Reviews:

Chris Sawin (6/10)

The Primevals is a production that could best be described as painfully ’90s. The acting is unbearable and the writing, when it isn’t ripping off other films, tries to make a simple premise complicated but somehow fails at every opportunity. But if you’re a fan of animation and stop-motion, then those sequences are absolutely worth enduring the torture.

The compositing between live-action and the animation looks so well-done as it looks like the digital evolution of what Ray Harryhausen accomplished with his career for decades.
