Movie Reviews of Dinotopia - The Series
Movie Review: Dino Series
Summary: 3 Stars
I had never seen the TV show so my expectations were for more dinosaur action. I was disappointed that the story line was really for older kids than my grandchildren who were watching it (3-5 yrs.)and there is very little dinosaur action. Nothing wrong with this for the right audience.Movie Review: Dinodopeia
Summary: 3 Stars
Very poor ending.
Obviously aimed at 'teenagers' of questionable intelligence.
Not as good as the Original Movie of the same name.
The lack of closed captions makes it very difficult to understand what is being said from beginning to end. (lousy soundtrack?)
Movie Review: Bought this for my son
Summary: 3 Stars
We thought this was going to be like a more real version of the land before time, and it was like a TV series, there are dinos in it but I wasn't really impressed and neither was he unfortunately.Movie Review: Disappointed....
Summary: 2 Stars
I actually quite enjoyed the Dinotopia miniseries (in spite of the expected communist overtones), and was really thrilled to find out that there had been a continuation. However, whereas the first series had a cohesive plot, this seems to be just one episode after another of characters acting interminably stupid (what kind of insane person would set off--with no water or food--in a rowboat, hoping to brave the open sea?). The special effects are clearly done on a lower budget, the sets are straight out of a renfest, and the clean family nature of the first film is now peppered with innuendo. There are some genuinely funny parts, and frequent enough to make the show watchable, but not enough to make it redeemable. The ever-shifting cast (why not get the original actors? And why is Romana Denison white in one episode and black in the next?) is comprised of mostly bottom-of-the barrel actors (with the exception of Jonathan Hyde and Sophie Ward, whom, admittedly, I have been fond of since Young Sherlock Holmes). Or perhaps I'm being unfair. It's hard for even the best actors to deliver bad lines over and over again. I would like to see another series done, a continuation, even, but only with a different set of writers. At least so far (I'm only on the first disc), I'm not terribly impressed.
Movie Review: Dintopia TV series
Summary: 2 Stars
While the animation was very good and some of the story lines were interesting, I felt the performances of some of the actors were poor and an overall "slickness" spoiled the series for me.
