Siddartha (Dhritiman Chatterjee) is forced to discontinue his medical studies due to unexpected and brutal death of his father. He has to now find a job in stead. In one job interview, he is asked to name the most significant world event in the last ten years. His reply is 'the plain human courage shown by the people of Vietnam', instead of the expected - man landing on moon. The interviewer asks is he is a communist. Needles to say that he does not get the job.
He reaches a coffee shop where he is offered to work for the communist party. When he does not show any interest the party leader tells him about an opening for a medical representative. To escape from the heat and have a snooze, he goes in to a cinema. As a government propaganda newsreel is being shown before the feature, a bomb explodes in the cinema hall. In the stampede that follows, Siddartha, breaks his watch. He goes to a watchmaker but he cannot afford the repairs.
Waiting to cross the road, he notices a sexy girl. He drifts back to his days as a medical student in a flashback. The professor is explaining anatomy of female breast. Many flashbacks and dreams occur to Siddartha through the film.
On his way to hostel, he has an encounter with some hippies. Along with an ex-classmate, he goes out to see a porn film but to their disappointment, the film turns out to be not-so-pornographic.
In such constant wandering in a Calcutta, disintegrated relationships with his sister and a Naxalite (militant communist) brother, his friendship with Keya is only thing that keeps him sane.
Keya is a simple girl. They enjoy each other's company but they cannot make any commitment to each other due to the circumstances.
After yet another attempt at a job interview, Siddartha leaves the big city to take a modest job of a salesman in a far off small town. He writes to Keya that he still cherishes their relationship. And that he has heard that bird call again but this time it is for real, and not his mind. After completing the letter, he comes out to the balcony of his modest room. The bird calls again. He also hears the sombre chants of a funeral procession. As he turns to the camera, the picture is frozen.
This is the first film of the Calcutta Trilogy. The other two were and Seemabaddha (Company Limited, 1971) and Jana Aranya (The Middle Man, 1975). All the three films study the effect the big city of Calcutta has on the educated youth and the price it extracts from them.
The seventies were a difficult period for India and West Bengal. The Corruption was rampant; the Naxalite movement had created havoc in Calcutta. In fact, they had turned parts of Calcutta into 'liberated zones'. By the time the Naxalite movement died down, in 1975, Mrs. Indira Gandhi (then, Prime Minister of India) suppressed the fundamental rights and declared "Emergency" for her own political survival. Her son, Sanjay Gandhi became a dictator of sorts without any official designation. The opposition leaders were thrown into prisons.
About his social responsibilities as a filmmaker, in an interview with Cineaste magazine, Ray commented, "You can see my attitude in The Adversary where you have two brothers. The younger brother is a Naxalite. There is no doubt that the elder brother admires the younger brother for his bravery and convictions. The film is not ambiguous about that. As a filmmaker, however, I was more interested in the elder brother because he is the vacillating character. As a psychological entity, as a human being with doubts, he is a more interesting character to me. The younger brother has already identified himself with a cause. That makes him part of a total attitude and makes him unimportant. The Naxalite movement takes over. He, as a person, becomes insignificant."
In a letter to Seton in 1970, Ray wrote that Pratidwandi was the most provocative film he had made till then. The film is said to have evoked extreme reactions. "People either loved the film or hated it", Dhritiman Chatterjee told Andrew Robinson, Ray's biographer.
套路叠套路，再加点美式尖叫，遇到事情先不动，尖叫完了再说……
文戲太多了，雖然很多前作的彩蛋但是敘事真的超碎，主角一行人完全被打散，看到中間的時候甚至以為還會有續集，因為按照這個節奏根本結束不了，結果到最後逃出生天後就莫名其妙的結束了，還有小女孩本以為有更大的作用沒想到就這，全片唯一能看的一場戲就是在馬耳他的恐龍追逐。再加上買的大桶爆米花才吃了不到1/3，想吃後悔藥。。。
人太多了，为了情怀，搞得一大堆人窜来窜去，眼花缭乱。故事么弱智得不得了，分支情节太散且敷衍，恐龙打斗也实在太水，南方巨兽龙一秒就被戳死，完全没有第二部精彩。
故事终归还是发生在公园里，为啥要强行给蝗虫加戏。
看完才发现原来自己没看过2，难怪感觉剧情衔接不上，不是自己忘了剧情，是真没看过，第一部经典男女主的出现还是挺回忆杀的。
还算好看吧。但圣母向女主还是令人厌烦，固执女生不听劝告后吃亏也很老套。男主帅气有担当，算是很正面。
不得不说还是适合作为重返影院的选择的，和朋友看的4D厅，感觉像是进了小时候去的“方特科幻公园”......让人非常无语的是，这个4D的座位是按照电影中的打斗、冲击、引擎发动（包括小女孩骑自行车）之类的动作设置体感的，所以无论人还是恐龙受到打击座位就会震动，实在是太出戏了。——不过这片本身也没什么“戏”就是了，人的行动和恐龙几乎是平行的，仿佛就是在一个恐龙世界里完成主线任务，主角团时刻闪现，一点儿时空概念都没有，人物也根本没有紧张感，要坠机了还搁那儿送别，看到南方巨兽龙和霸王龙围着主角团转圈我人都傻了，这个场景就是在狠狠地打编剧的脸啊，恐龙根本不把人放在眼里好吗！就当自己进了次游乐园吧，给我看出汗了倒是。
这个BOSS哈哈，有那么先进的生物基因技术，非法研究蝗虫目的，就为了去卖大米？？？你们可真是商业奇才。
“人类终将自我毁灭，现在能做的只有把握仅剩的时间，像往常一样挥霍光阴。”
故事一般般，但是初代主角卖了一波情怀，呜呜呜呜~~还是帅老头，还是气质美女~~~
还是那句话，超过两个小时的商业片，基本可以pass掉了。
真正的男主:拿着火把引来恐龙。（高天尊）
新世纪恐龙三部曲终结篇，IMDB和豆瓣评分皆创下恐龙系列电影最低（IMDB#5.7/豆瓣#6.2），已经没什么新意了，把系列第一部的三位主演全部请来和新世纪主演组队，这是强行打怀旧牌，诚意是有的但创意就不高明了，也难为编导了，毕竟恐龙系列现在已经拍到6部了，很多套路已经用过山穷水尽了，想要拍出新鲜感实在是很难了，全片最好看的是中场那段基因恐龙追逐男女主角的戏，还有女主在森林里潜水逃避恐龙袭击的惊悚场景，其余的都没什么意思。国内国外公认老新三部曲最精彩都是第一部。前面二部都比较精彩。
热烈庆祝Dr.Wu终于不会再被富豪绑走了。
一部时长两个来小时的主题乐园宣传片，看个乐，动脑子你就输了。
记得回顾一下前几部再入场～是童年的圆满！记得看imax。
当年恐龙称霸地球的时候哺乳动物就是弟弟，跟它们共存？想太多了。

各种类型元素都要插一脚，但偏偏不是Jurassic Park
剧情属实无聊……连最后的大佬互殴也很敷衍啊！开篇，好家伙那一大蝗虫群，我以为会看到龙虫大战的，过程中一直思考会怎么呈现效果……果然纯属我想多了。打个三星…感觉都有点愧疚。
