Movie Reviews of Dinosaur
Movie Review: "Stand together!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Dinosaur has both things in common in both rare and not rare Disney movies. It is rare to find a Disney animated movie rated PG. And it is not rare to find violence or scary stuff in thier animated movies. This movie may be good for kids to watch if they are 8 and up, otherwise you will have to find either a rare Disney movie that contains no violence or scary scenes, or watch an animated movie that is not from Disney. As the movie opens, a couple of animals sees a baby dinosuar bron from an egg. The father of the group doesn't want the baby, but the mom and the kids do. The baby is named Aladar (D.B. Sweeney). But when a fire destorys the animals' home, the surving animals move on to find a new home. And join a herd that includes a dinosuar named Neera (Julianna Margulies) and her grumpy brother (Samuel E. Wright). It is very rare to find a Disney animated movie that is good for very young kids. In fact, I'm not sure if you would find a Disney animated movie good for very young kids. But at least the MPAA was smart enough to give this a PG rating instead of a G rating, like they usually give Disney's animated movies. Parents if youe kids want to see this movie, may I suggest to prewatch this first and then decide whether or not to let your kids watch this movie.Movie Review: MY 2-YEAR-OLD SON GIVES THIS ONE 5 STARS!
Summary: 5 Stars
Obviously, the animation is great, as are the backgrounds. I didn't even realize this movie is rated PG until I read it in someone else's review. I suppose the carnotaurs are a bit scary, but my 2-year-old (good-natured, non-violent) son doesn't seem to think so. There is a meteor that crashes to earth near the beginning of the movie. Surprisingly enough, that's the part my son found scary. I think he doesn't like the dark and gloomy backgrounds, and he can tell the main character is in trouble, which bothered him a bit the first few times he watched the movie. The plot is simple, but isn't it supposed to be?! This IS a kids' movie, after all. The story should be simple enough for a child to understand and enjoy. Disney made as much of the movie enjoyable as possible for those of us adults who have to sit through 300 or 400 viewings per month, but they didn't lose sight of the fact that their primary audience has a median age of about 5 or 6. I can't tell you how many times a day I hear my son say, "Watch Aladar?" (Aladar is the main character). The anticipation in his voice says it all--but then, I guess you have to take my word for it!Movie Review: Family Friendly and Way Fun!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Disney has done it again with this thrilling family epic. Once again, new ground is forged with some of the most amazing computer animation and special effects I have ever seen.The story centers around a tribe of marsupial-type organisms who have lost their island paradise due to the fallout of an asteroid collision (not THE asteroid collision which alledgedly wiped out the dinosaurs, just AN asteroid collision). Among them is a young male dinosaur named Aladar, whom the tribe as befriended and more-or-less adopted as one of their own.
Aladar helps the survivors of the tribe across the wasteland that the asteroid left in its wake; they travel in hopes of finding a new home that they hope is out there, somewhere. Along the way, they must negotiate a series of obstacles and dangers.
This film is an instant-Disney classic. It has some of the most amazing visual effects I have ever seen & is also suitable for the entire family. The entertainment world owes much to Disney, and here we have yet another milestone of brilliant Disney entertainment.
Movie Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I loved this movie!
It is like watching a movie-length version of only the best scenes from Jurassic Park. What softens the dramatic blow is the heavy action with very little (if any) blood, the dinosaurs talk, and two of them even fall in love. We watched ''Dinosaur'' several times, each time enjoying it more than the last.
My four-year old son, however, has another opinion. At this point in his development, realistic dinosaurs (even ones who speak) aren't his cup of tea. He gets a little scared. But given time, I am sure he will come around.
Just by listening closely to the superb sound and watching the stunning graphics, you will be able to tell that ''Dinosaur'' is more than just another dino-flick, but a labor of love.
This would make a wonderful addition to anyone's video collection.
Movie Review: Everyone matters
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie, and I'm over 60! My four-year-old granddaughter watches it about once a week. What draws young and old? A finely drawn portrait of what makes a family, and what decisions a real hero makes - no matter his age or size. The characters are visually and emotionally engaging - we disliked the bullies, cheered for the little monkeys and baby dinos, and ached for the wise and witty 'aged' dinosaurs. The very concept of leaving loved, elderly leaders behind reminds me of my own inabilility to keep up with the fast-paced life my sons and their loved ones lead. But Aladar, his adopted lemur family and the lovely Neera stay back to encourage and protect their elders, Balene and Eema. Gosh, I hope someone does that for me. Beautiful to the eyes, and warming to the heart. Why didn't we have these when I was growing up?
