History Film / SixtyFive

* MorePredatorsThanPrey: Almost every animal appearing in the film is a carnivore, including theropods, pterosaurs and animals that look like [[AnachronismStew early archosaurs]] (namely ''Lagosuchus''). The only herbivores that appears is the remains of a dead hadrosaur and a juvenile, [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology bipedal]] ankylosaur.

* MinimalistCast: There are only 4 onscreen characters in the entire movie.

* MinimalistCast: There are only 4 onscreen characters the e tire movie.

* DeathWorld: The film depicts Late Cretaceous Earth as a bleak hellscape full of acidic geysers, lethal quicksand, poisonous flora, parasitic bugs and hyperagressive reptiles.

* PrehistoricMonster: Nearly all the dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals are shown as vicious, ugly, predatory animals that are trying to kill the two protagonists, even small ones that attack them like rabid dogs. The only benign dinosaur they encounter is itself almost immediately killed by a pack of raptor-like dinosaurs.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: With a couple of minor exceptions including an already dead hadrosaur and a [[spoiler:juvenile ankylosaur that is swiftly killed by other predators]], the dinosaurs are uniformly depicted as ugly, hyperaggressive, always hungry monsters. Unlike other films that feature dangerous dinosaurs, they are never depicted in a majestic or even neutral light.

*** The late quadruped might be an attempt to depict a raisuchian, prehistoric crocodile relatives with strikingly tyrannosaur-like skulls. If that's the case, then they are still inaccurate in that it looked ''too'' much like a tyrannosaurus and had the wrong body anatomy. They also lived in the Triassic with the very first dinosaurs not at the end of the Cretaceous

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The soundtrack labels the quadrepedal creatures as the archosaur ''Lagosuchus''. [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology Why a 51 centimter Triassic species is around at the end of the Cretaceous and at least 8 feet long isn't mentioned...]]

* SuperPersistentPredator: All of the dinosaurs in the film consistently ignore easier or more accesible prey in favour of chasing down the protagonists.

* {{Whateverasaurus}}: The quadrepedal theropod that Mills fights at the end of the movie, prevented from being a TRexpy only by the virtue of there being two actual Tyrannosaurs in the film.

* SeldomSeemSpecies: The soundtrack labels the quadrepedal creatures as the archosaur ''Lagosuchus''. [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology Why a 51 centimter Triassic species is around at the end of the Cretaceous and at least 8 feet long isn't mentioned...]]

* ChekhovsGun: Mills stumbles onto an acidic geyser early on, with the skeleton of a tyrannosaur lying on top of it. [[spoiler: After he runs out of ammo trying to kill the last of the theropods that attack him at Koa during the climax, he leads it into another such geyser to kill it. It takes two blasts to do the job.]]

* HumanityCameFromSpace: It turns out that humanity aren't originally from Earth but came from another world or civilization, and the main characters are the first humans to arrive.

** The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event that killed the non-avian dinosaurs, according to radiometric dating, happened 66 million years ago - a million years before the movie's events, supposedly, take place.
** Almost none of the dinosaurs in the trailer are feathered, despite research having known for decades that plenty of them did. The raptors do have a faint covering of proto-feathers along the back, when they should have proper bird-like plumage covering their body.

** The cave dwelling oviraptorid (besides being scaly) has '''teeth'''. For comparison, this is like the ''T. rex'' being depicted with jacked forearms.

* TheCretaceousIsAlwaysDoomed: there's an "irregularity" in the sky of the planet and Mills isn't sure what it is at first, giving his handheld computer time to figure out what it is. Predictably, it's not just ''an'' asteroid, it's ''the'' asteroid, [[spoiler: and Mills and Koa barely escape Earth before it impacts]].
* DeathWorld: The film depicts Late Cretaceous Earth as a bleak hellscape full of acidic geysers, lethal quicksand, poisonous flora, parasitic bugs and hyperagressive reptiles.
* EarthAllAlong: The trailer initially portrays the planet as being an alien world… before revealing to the audience that it is prehistoric Earth.

* HumanityCameFromSpace: It turns out that humanity aren't originally from earth, they came from another world or civilization, and the main characters are the first humans to arrive.

* RaptorAttack: The raptors shown in the film are the standard scaly predators popularized by ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', though they do have a faint covering of proto-feathers along the back. Interestingly, the film takes pains to show a variety of sizes of raptors, including one that's a spot on size match for the actual ''velociraptor''.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: With a couple of minor exceptions including an already dead hadrosaur and a [[spoiler:juvenile ankylosaur that is swiftly killed by other predators]], the dinosaurs are uniformly depicted as ugly, hyperaggressive, always hungry monsters. Unlike other films that feature dangerous dinosaurs (such as the '' Film/JurassicPark'' franchise) they are never depicted in a majestic or even neutral light.
* TheReveal: See TimeTitle below.

* TimeTitle: After the first act of the film plays with no title, "65" appears on screen as an establishing shot of [[EarthAllAlong Earth]], before a brief OpeningScroll that [[ScriptWank re-establishes the premise.]]
* WhamLine: The time card “65 million years” ago pops up in the trailer as the main characters are alerted to the presence of a dinosaur.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: To say the dinosaurs in the film barely resemble their real world counterparts would be an understatement.

** The cave dwelling oviraptorid (besides being scaly) has '''teeth'''. For comparison, this is like the ''T. Rex'' being depicted with jacked forearms.
