Movie Reviews of Dinotopia - The Series
Movie Review: Good
Summary: 4 Stars
We all like it. Both my 8-yr daughter and 3-yr son enjoyed a lot. We got this in the summer but they are not tired of watching them yet.Movie Review: Dinotopia - The Series
Summary: 3 Stars
Hallmark's Dinotopia, the series is reasonably entertaining for the whole family and the current price warrants consideration. The story is about a father and his two sons flying over the ocean in their small private plane when they hit a storm and crash. They end up on a beach but on an Island that isn't on any known map. When they find people they are considered guests and treated well. All seems relatively normal until they see Dinosaurs, some which can talk. The rest the series revolves around the boys becoming active in the Dinotopian society by getting an education and taking on responsibilites such as raising a dinosaur and flying on one. I was not overly impressed the first time I saw half the miniseries but on my second viewing I actually enjoyed it. I recommend the "Dinotopia - The Miniseries" and the "Dinotopia - The Series". Good quality DVD with decent replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "The Golden Compass" and "Earthsea".

Movie Review: Not true to the spirit of the books or original
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm into the second DVD and had to pause to register a bit of disappointment. The TV series spinoff is beautifully filmed, with all the believability that the CGI dinos produced in the miniseries. But true to the books or even the miniseries it is not, and I found it a little disturbing that instead of "breathe deep, seek peace", this version of Dinotopia is concentrating more on the human violence and vices of the outside world than the one created by James Guerney. As for the intelligent dinosaurs, I thought there would be more roles for them, but instead we get the soap opera love triangle, constantly rampaging T. Rexes, a Matriarch who goes from a pillar of strength to a bit of a wimp, and focus on lawless group of brigands (an entire clan, led by a Xena-like female outlaw, had to replace the Crabbs I guess). I mean, the stories are interesting. But there are a lot of disappointments if you were really expecting the magic to continue.Movie Review: more gory than the original
Summary: 3 Stars
My kids really enjoyed the movie, so when I saw that there was a series made, I thought it would be great too, especially since Hallmark made both of them. Well, I was disappointed to see that the series did not stick to some of the original themes of the movie, new characters, and alot more gore. They still did not show alot of blood, but it was too scary for my youngest to watch and I was nervous about a couple of the next youngest having nightmares. So far we only have viewed the first two episodes, and I'm afraid the remainder will only be viewed by my older ones. Such a shame as the original was enjoyed by all of us.Movie Review: disappointed in the ending......
Summary: 3 Stars
In other Hallmark shows, at least they had an ending for the series(Merlin,Alice in wonderland, etc..), but the ending for this series left the viewer hanging, and i hate when a series does that. I was hoping to see if they had a second season on here of dinotopia: the series, but to no avail, i have found none. Verry dissappointing...
