Despite it getting panned in by the critics, I found Primeval to be a refreshing change in Horror/action films. It is not your regular Hack and slash. It is not your regular Horror with too much comedy. It's a nice balance of all of them. If you enjoyed Lake Placid, Relic, Serpent and the Rainbow, or Anaconda, then you will love this.
It's not all guts, and it's not all fake scares. The director tried really hard to break away from the cliches of horror films. First off, who is worse, the monster or the people? Who is going to die? Is it the hero, the bad guy, the hot girl, or the comedy relief? Most of these questions are a given in most horror films. But in Primeval, they are all up for grabs.
If you have the extra money, and you feel like seeing a film that will not have you hating yourself for seeing it, then Primeval is it. Not preachy. Not over stupid. Not over gory. Not a crying film, or a "Hey look, I'm trying to be artsy" Film.
Not as good as something like X-Men, but something I will buy on DVD when it comes out.
Have fun out there.
