Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Too gory for my inner eight year-old, and my inner 12 year-old cringed throughout. Rated: 2/5 Aug 9, 2012 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times Rip-roaring fun ... Rated: 4/5 Aug 9, 2012 Full Review Adam Lee Davies Little White Lies The dinosaurs do the business, but they are let down badly by the human element. Rated: 1/5 Aug 9, 2012 Full Review Joseph Walsh CineVue The weak central father/son relationship lacks much-needed bite and authenticity, whilst a badly-placed revenge-cum-horror story fails to register. Rated: 1/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review David Aldridge Radio Times It's British, it's kind of fun and, at barely 80 minutes, it doesn't outstay its welcome. Rated: 3/5 Aug 16, 2012 Full Review Stefan Pape HeyUGuys The Dinosaur Project, is exactly what you would expect from a found footage orientated, British film about dinosaurs... but that, unfortunately, is not a positive acknowledgement. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 13, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Hayden S An underrated dinosaur movie for sure. It's short, so it doesn't out stay its welcome, but it has plenty to love. The weakest part of the film is the betrayal twist near the end - but otherwise a fun movie! Not what you come to expect from the B-Movie section at Walmart. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Giorgio S This come out sfter all the terrible paranormal activities,but it' s interesting. Yes the dinosaurs are not realistic and the humans are boring but it's watchable Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It has all the dumb cliches from found footage movies. The only difference is that instead of aliens, ghost or something like that, we have a few (because of the low budget) dinossaurs suprisingly well animated. Besides the decent CGI, the storytelling is just acceptable, despite the awful decisions of the characters and mediocre acting, and it's overall an entertaining movie. It's clearly a bad movie, of course, but with just 80 minutes long, it's not a waste of time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Scary and violent (and not suitable for kids), but rather well done. Excellent special effects. Not as good as Jurassic Park, but better than The Lost World: Jurassic Park. I enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member the CGI is awful, the story lacks key components, the characters are unlikeable, the plots a jumbled mess and on top of that the camera work mocks and copies the found footage genre only to fail miserably. the only redeeming quality of this movie was in the end when the store I bought it from was willing to refund it for me. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie could have been so good. It was a great idea. But it was not done very well... The main plot about finding dinosaurs was great. But the storyline followed / played out by the actors was pretty weak. And horrible ending. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
