Walking with Dinosaurs


Walking with Dinosaurs
This visually stunning film aims to be educational and entertaining at the same time, but judging by the reviews, has a hard time meeting both goals. After a short live-action introduction, we zip back 70 million years to the time of the dinosaurs, where an underdog dino triumphs to become a hero for the age. In essence, a coming-of-age tale interspliced with sibling rivalry for leadership and love, with educational snippets whenever a new species is introduced. This film is releasing in both 2D and 3D, this is the 2D version.

Tomatometer quote iconWalking with Dinosaurs boasts painstaking visual brilliance, but it's unfortunately clouded by a clumsy script that's dominated by juvenile humor.

Internet
449 Netizens quote iconEven more visually stunning than the BBC series, this 3D feature update is ultimately no more than a kids flick no thanks to the addition of kid-friendly Disney-fied dialogue
