Is this one of those things where we're imagining that they're talking? And just so you never fully feel like you're watching either a fictional film, or a documentary about Dinosaurs, every time a new dino is introduced on screen, we get a pause and their name written in bold across the screen as it's read aloud by a group of little kids off camera. The dialogue and the movement of the Dinos' mouths didn't even correctly sync. The voice actors made no attempt whatsoever to play "characters" but sounded like they were just reading lines off of a piece of paper while constantly checking the time (they probably were). Oh my God, the voice acting was cringeworthy. Why do they need to have 20 minute conversations about absolutely nothing in most of the scenes? Did Larry David write this? Back to the voice acting. The banter between the dinosaur characters also felt forced and drawn out. The jokes were terrible, the narrator (the crow/chicken bird thing) was annoying and ruined the film with it's inability to shut up through most of the scenes.

The writing was absolutely abysmal and felt forced. Granted the stunning visuals and photo-realism of the dinosaurs was really impressing, that gloss was quickly overshadowed by horrible writing and even worse voice acting. This movie, though it is inspired by the BBC mini-series, is terrible. So as a parent, I thought what better way to have an educational yet entertaining family experience than to watch this together.

My kids, like most young kids, absolutely love Dinosaurs. Encountering friend and foe, ally and enemy, Speckles will stop at nothing and will take on all corners to save his offspring.Reviewed by MinistryofDoom 2 / 10 Stunning visuals alone can't make a great film After one encounter results in Junior being kidnapped, Speckles embarks on an adventure to the ends of earth to find his son. Under the watchful eye of his dad, Junior is growing up healthy and strong, but with an overconfidence thanks to his young age. Speckles, a ferocious tarbosaurus and his young son junior, mourning the loss of their family in an epic battle, roam the lands in search of food, adventure and peace. An action-packed family adventure that combines the realism of Walking With Dinosaurs with the heart of Finding Nemo.
