"Earth's Original Heroes!"
So, the characters in this are humanoid dinosaurs. Oh, and the female characters has breasts. So that you can tell she's female, I suppose. Anyway the main character here is Rex. He looks kinda like The Lizard from Spider-Man. He dresses in futuristic battle armor and wields a lightsaber. No, really.
The story involves a training sequence gone wrong. The unnamed female character, who seems to be based on one of the crest-headed dinosaurs, is putting Rex through his paces in the holodeck/danger room when the system suddenly goes out of control and switches to "kill mode". Mayhem ensues.
The concept of humanoid dinosaurs who were "Earth's Original Heroes" is a fun, if goofy, original idea. Unfortunately, lightsabers and danger rooms and robot adversaries who resemble Cylons are not so original. This was a very short piece, probably not enough to judge the overall story by, but the details here were undermining the concept.
Rating: 4/10
