TV Guide The film is no more interesting than a Saturday morning kid show, but the stop-motion animation is commendable. Rated: 2/4 Apr 2, 2013 Full Review Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique Although set in the future, Planet of the Dinosaurs, is pure 1970s camp, with hairstyles and jump-suits that evoke unpleasant memories of the horrible disco era.

Andre S Unfortunately the best actress with awesome T&A was killed off when they crash landed on the planet (really earth). Other than that the other girls I would do in a second. I give it a XXX rating Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Crom W The poster get ½ star, The dino's get ½ star, the movie 0 star, total 1 star Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Set in an unspecified future, It never showed something really futuristic. It isn't a sci-fi movie that carried a dinosaur spirit story in it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay, I have a question about the plot: How did the cast of a 70s porn movie get their own spaceship? Riff rating: 🦖🦖🦖🦖 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Planet of dinosaurs from 1977 or 78 or 79....my goodness the release history of this film is convoluted. yes the acting is rigid crap and I've heard better conversations between kids in grades 1-5 than this film! That being said, this movie has A+ stop-motion animated dinosaurs and a cool concept that got lost in the 70s melodrama dept. Seriously! the dinosaurs are amazing!...the shear diversity of species represented is pretty incredible with 12 different types of dino's and a nice tribute to Special Effects master Ray Harryhausen with the Redosaurus seen in The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms making an appearance. spaceships, dinosaurs,laser guns, scantily clad females...yep sounds like the 70s alright. If you love stop-motion check this film out cause its a masterpiece in the FX dept. Its too bad the acting wasn't better because in the right hands this could have been a sci-Fi Gem. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably one of my favorite Claymation movies of all time. It's a little bit slow but the Dinosaurs are awesome. They even has a tribute to Ray Harryhausen Rhedosaurus. Give it a shot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
