Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) This slick prehistory lesson has state-of-the-art CG dinos, narration in the always welcome baritone of Donald Sutherland, and some genuinely spectacular fly-bys over the Argentinian wilderness. Jun 21, 2018 Full Review Paige Wiser Chicago Sun-Times Be warned: Dinosaurs is a little scary. Nothing tries to eat you, which is nice, but with the 3D effect, these ginormous creatures practically perch -- menacingly -- on your armrest. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 15, 2007 Full Review Michael Esposito Chicago Tribune The film reminds us that in birds, dinosaurs 'have left us only their grace and beauty,' for which, as a small mammal (at least in comparison to a 45-foot-long carnivore), I'm grateful. Rated: 3/4 Jun 14, 2007 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review ...great fun... Rated: 4/5 May 7, 2007 Full Review Edward Ortiz Sacramento Bee An intelligently crafted Imax film that is as rooted in science as it is cloaked in the thrilling images of CGI. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 27, 2007 Full Review Lori Hoffman Atlantic City Weekly ... the perfect blend of scholarly information and totally cool dinosaurs brought to vivid life. Rated: 3/4 Apr 20, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member You can't go wrong with IMAX and dinosaurs in this enchanting documentary. This film is really meant to be seen in theaters in front of a million inch screen with your rotating chair and holographic glasses on. All kidding aside this movie will be quite enjoyable for all 40 minutes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 3d was ok but it was a great story, kids enjoyed Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I know that this film was designed to be seen in 3-D IMAX so I cannot give an accurate representation of the theater effect, considering that I watched this in my living room on a 32-inch screen. In the end, 40 minutes just is not enough time to take an audience through the evolution of dinosaurs to their extinction. The largest impression left on me was when the comets started hitting and it finally hit me that the movie only had three minutes left. The dinosaurs are fake enough that children won't be scared but computer animated well enough that we get an accurate picture of Prehistoric life. There was a definitive moment of "Finally!" when some of the dinosaurs began to fight but overall, "Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia" is just a textbook telling of the lifetime of a few dino species. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember watching this film at 9 am(because that was the only time you could watch it at the theater at that time) and Loved it. Plus it was in 3D! To those who love dinosaurs, I strongly reccomend ths film. Critics gave it 100% on Rotten Tomatoes for crying out loud! Looking at how much the audience(at the moment) likes this movie(52%), this film is surley underestimated! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Ya worth the netflix rental forsure!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The history of dinosaurs in a CGI nutshell. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
