Rated PG for scary dinosaurs
Starring Charlie Rowe, Karl Urban, Angourie Rice, John Leguizamo, Justin Long, Skyler Stone, Tiya Sircar
Directed by Barry Cook & Neil Nightingale
The Story:
In Alaska, an archaeologist (Urban) is driving his niece (Rice) and nephew (Rowe) to a site where he had found a dinosaur tooth. Unimpressed, the nephew decides to sit at the truck and pout, when a bird named Alex (Leguizamo) comes along to tell the kid about the story about how that tooth came to be found where it was. Cue the flashbacks and the story of a little dinosaur (Long) who grows up to be the leader of his herd though unlikely odds.
So apparently the brains behind this thought, let's take the BBC series Walking With Dinosaurs , and cross it with The Land Before Time...
Yes, these dinosaurs talk, though they don't do mouth movements, so it's not nearly as cutesy or annoying as you might think.
I don't know what to think...
The movie itself is nice to look at. Using actual scenery with CGI, the landscapes and backgrounds are lush and beautiful.
However, I'm not sure how impressed I was overall with the dinosaurs.
Maybe it was the inclusion of humans in Jurassic Park, but I almost think those dinosaurs looked more realistic.
Anyway, the story itself isn't that terrible, and it's a film that the whole family can sit and enjoy/tolerate for 90 minutes, then it's done.
Final Grade: C
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No, I think I'm okay.
