This thread is purely theoretical. I have no evidence that a movie is even still being thought about. But let's say Impossible Pictures decides to wrap Primeval up with a very special 50th episode, a movie, what would you have it be about? You can write up short ideas and creatures, or make a longer writeup, perhaps even a bit fanfiction-like. Look at it as my attempt to get some final activity going on the forum.
My (slightly too detailed) idea would be the following:
We start with a scene in the Triassic. A monstrous Fasolasuchus is attacking Danny and Ethan. Ethan climbs into a tree or onto a rock, but isn't fast enough. Danny dies jumping in front of the creature.
Without hearing what that was about we pick up straight after the finale of New World, a delegation from Canada is coming to visit the British ARC, because they've basically agreed to do that in the last episode. The British team is surprised about this. We completely skip the double Matt thing, in fact, the ARC has just gotten themselves a new team leader. Evan still doesn't know what he changed in the last episode.
Than an anomaly alert comes in, two anomalies close together. The team comes on the scene, some sort of high tech research center, to find a giant ground sloth trashing the place. One part of the team deals with chasing that back through the anomaly, while the rest looks for the second one, and stumbles upon Ethan, who's holding some kind of equipment. Ethan runs from them, and before they catch him he throws the equipment through the second anomaly, which closes immidiately after this.
Ethan is escorted back to the ARC, and instead of not letting a lot out he starts bragging about how it's too late for them etc, because soon there will be *something*. But then the alarm sounds again, and the team see that an anomaly has opened inside the ARC. Through the anomaly comes Howard Kanan, the rich genius that went back in time in New World. He's the one that came up with the *something*, and used Ethan (who was especially vulnerable after Danny "abandoned" him again) for his goals. He found out about the ARC, and decided this would be the perfect moment to destroy both teams, because he knew they would not share his great visionary vision of *something*. *something* also turns out to be what caused the collapse of the New World spaghetti junction, Evan didn't change anything. He opens a second anomaly, and through come future predators (this is Primeval after all, can't leave them out) with the mind control devices Leek used at the time. The team runs, and Howard frees Ethan and gives chase. But through the first anomaly comes the monstrous Fasolasuchus from the first scene.
During the action that follows, Howard and Ethan corner the new leader, and have him killed by two predators, but than the fasolasuchus bursts onto the scene and kills Ethan. This gives the rest of the team enough time to attack Howard and destroy the portable mind control device he's holding. Howard opens a third anomaly and flees through it. Part of the team follows him (the rest has to deal with the now aimless predators), but so does the Fasolasuchus. At the other end however they are greeted by the ground sloth. The sloth reacts to the huge predator that just walked in, and in their rumble they crush Howard (and maybe his heavily modified anomaly detector/opener, although it may be cool to see the team retrieve it). Since this is the sloth's time, it should win the fight, so they don't have to get the fasolasuchus back through several anomalies.
All ends well. In the final scene, Connor proposes to Abby. Lester walks in, unaware of what's happening, and starts promoting Connor to team leader. He also says there are some new candidates ready to fill in a couple of slots. We see the new candidates, and recognise them as the team from the last episode of New World.
