Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

10 minutes into this film I felt the need to turn it off, but the only reason I continued to watch the entire film was to give my full review.Acting: The acting was absolutely amateur and dreadful, and was slowly driving me insane. The young actors aren't well known and are probably straight out of drama school, so I kinda understand why there is little to no experience there. Nevertheless, I still did take a few breaks mid film so I could come back into it fresh and not be frustrated. Special effects: The special effects were surprisingly good. IMDb has stated that this film has a 2.4 million dollar budget, which kinda makes sense because most of that money would have been put toward the CGI to try compensate for everything else this movie is lacking. Character development: There was absolutely no character development whatsoever. You didn't learn much about any character, just tiny details. Major details into their lives were left out. Storyline: The plot to this movie was very cheesy, and in no way fathomable nor believable. But in saying that, it doesn't really have to make sense because it is a film made for children, and a active child's imagination is riddled with the impossible. Overall Summary: This film is definitely made for individuals under the age of 10 years old. If adults are to watch it, only watch it in the company of your young children because the atmosphere of joyous children makes the movie worthwhile. If I was looking through the eyes of a family man in the company of my children sitting in the living room, I'd rate this movie a 4/10; as a solo adult viewer on the other hand, I only rate this movie a 1/10 because it is absolutely horrendous for an adult to watch by themselves.

The script was awful, The acting was bad, The VFX is OK, could have been better.there were awkward moments/acting all through out the movie, unrealistic situations/reactions, and I guess the director is not yet ready for this kind of ambitious project, I'm just sad that the line " A kid's Film" being used into an alibi for making a bad movie.and not to mention it a full-feature film and been shown if Theaters with a production budget.The Theatrical Poster was good though, it fooled me thinking it was a good movie.

For all the flaws of this movie (and there are many) Director Matt Drummond needs to have a long, hard think before directing children again. Just look at the poor reviews for the "actors" in this movie elsewhere on this site - Drummond put them in this position in the first place. Matt, as a director you have responsibility first in casting and then in directing/coaching - neither of which were evident in this film. Cajoling your production/marketing/cast to "vote up" the film on here wont fix that either. So next time you direct firstly don't put children in a position where they will be ridiculed on a site such as this - get the casting right. Next get a good team of coaches in place to support their talent and lastly don't be lazy with the screenplay - I don't think the best actors on earth would have had a hope with this script (was the ridiculously loud and never-ending soundtrack an attempt to cover up the dialogue?). Apart from that it was interesting to see feathered Dinosaurs - current vogue with palaeontologists.

I saw this film last weekend and it was fantastic! My kids requested they go as all the kids at their school were talking about it. Such a great little story - kids loved it, my daughter and son (5 and 8) sat through the whole movie and really enjoyed it. Its not too scary and the dinosaurs are incredible. When I called to find out the times, I was told they were adding cinemas and extra sessions its doing so well, our screening was pretty full on a Sunday afternoon. Amazing job for a first time Australian independent release. I don't know why the reviews are so bad on here, they certainly were not indicative of the film I saw. Maybe people were expecting a more "adult" style film?? The CGI was excellent, the acting was acceptable, the music was beautiful. The story was simple and linear but had a great twist at the end I didn't see coming. Well done to all involved, I highly recommend this film to families with small children.
