After dispatching a squadron of enemy spacecraft, the sexy Bikini Girls, Tansy (Toria Pardoe), Cala (Hannah Robson), and Solara (Kul Sarai) are given the drab assignment of escorting their Wicked Stepmother, Voluptina (Caroline Vella) to a boring space party. Voluptina naturally hates their guts and devises a way to dispose of the girls inside a conveniently placed black hole. The Bikini Girls crash their ship on Earth in the Jurassic era and must find some plutonium to fuel their ship and get home. On their quest, they have to contend with a bunch of dinosaurs who want to eat them for lunch.
Bikini Girls vs. Dinosaurs contains a bunch of terrible CGI effects, but you probably expected that from a movie called Bikini Girls vs. Dinosaurs. As far as terrible CGI effects in something like this goes, they aren’t too bad. I mean, they’re totally not good. However, unlike most low budget sci-fi cheesecake flicks, there is a cheesiness to the space battles (they look like a bargain bin version of the dogfights from Star Wars) and dinosaurs that is sort of endearing.
I think the special effects team really tried their best when it came to the CGI. The practical effects are another story. One alien is nothing more than a stuffed animal puppet, and another utilizes Annoying Orange technology. The costume on the robot is pretty good though.
Really, it all comes down to the bikini scenes, and they are okay, I guess. The three actresses keep their bikinis on at all times, which is a bit of a bummer. However, they do look great (especially Robson) during their go-go dancing and cheerleading scenes, so it’s hard to complain too much. Ultimately, while the flick gets by on cheesy effects and bikini scenes, there aren’t any genuine laughs to be had. (The filmstrip explaining America in the 20th century is amusing, but it doesn’t score any laugh-out-loud moments.) Fortunately, it only runs fifty-three minutes, but even then, it still feels about ten minutes too long.
