Anderson v I think this movie is great not as great but still it's all right Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Alexis M This movie was all right except for the acting Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Michael W This dinosaur movie was great. Brett Cullen, Austin O'Brien, Samantha Mills, Colleen Morris, Stephen Lee, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The story of the movie was entertaining and fun. It's about discovering a new form of dinosaurs and protecting them from people that are greedy and will do anything to get what they want. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a great movie for an entire family. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie has gotten, those people have terrible tastes in movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Ash P When the name popped up, free on YouTube, I was thinking to myself, "I'm sure I've seen this when I was a kid in the 90's." And watching it again, it was a movie from the 90's. Not gonna lie, the practical effects especially for the little dinosaurs were kinda cool aside not much explained like seeing them on a South American slab or something but I digress. The writing wasn't great but at the least it had some heartfelt moments that actually made up for it for being a decent movie for kids. Hell, it had some good laughs, too, I'm not gonna lie. The villain is just weak especially with whatever creepy faces he made which even made him on a list of weakest villains from various movies. Not a terrible movie. Just a movie from the 90's which after watching it, it was vague of me to remember this especially being released on the same year and month as Jurassic Park. It was just... okay. 5/10. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Stephen C LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Chris M The idea is unique and the effects are good. The cast works. But the villain is a bit weak and there are some massive assholes in this movie. But it's not great but it still very, very good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
