AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

John Krull This movie shows about 2 minutes of recreations of dinosaurs actually being alive. My son, who loves dinosaurs, thought the movie was OK, at best. 95% of the 40 minute movie includes shots of deserts and badlands from the air or boring, staged interviews with scientists. Calling the film "Dinosaurs Alive" is misleading, to say the least. For me, it was the worst IMAX movie I've ever seen and hardly deserves to be even put on the screen.We saw it at the Chabot Science Center in Oakland and it cost the two of us $25. Luckily that included entrance to the center which helped improve the experience (a bit - but that's for another review).

darkfulfillment Checked this one out over the weekend trying to beat the heat. My time and money would have been better spent opening a hydrant and paying the fine. Out-of-focus boredom, from start to finish. The effects were pure 1991 Discovery Channel. Most of the film was spent watching paleontologists and students digging in the dirt. How utterly fascinating. I came away learning more about the canopies they use in Mongolian digs than I did about dinosaurs.The kids in the audience seemed really bored, too. The advertising sets this up as being chockful of dinos, but they're few and far between.Save your $10.50 (or whatever the overpriced IMAX tix run at your local science center). This is the "Battlefied Earth" of IMAX movies.

sallydaverman I took my 6 year old daughter to see this film at the California Science Center and we both really enjoyed it. The 3D glasses really make the Dinosaurs jump out and off the screen. We both jumped in our seats more than once! The film is short, only about 40 minutes long or so, but that is the length of most of the IMAX film I have seen at the Science Center. The film does contain a lot of educational material, which is interesting to learn about, especially when you are taken back in time to see the very real looking dinosaurs walking around in Mongolia and New Mexico.If you get a chance to see this movie I would recommend it. It is fun, and won't take up 2 hours of your day.

wwhitbeck Don't just walk away from this clunker - run! There is nothing new at all covered in this sub par documentary styled fiasco. Any child that's studied dinosaurs in grade school already knows what this one's all about.The opening sequence was a great indication of what was yet to come - cartoonish dinosaurs do battle - and manage to walk across a sandy plain without leaving a single footprint.Then the movie resorts to shots we've all seen hundreds of times - yep dinosaur skeletons. Again, nothing new.But wait, next we are going to go on a real dig - in Mongolia. At first you think at least the scenery shots will be fantastic, but they are out of focus, totally taking that away from the experience.More disappointment as we move to Mexico and more blurry scenery and lack of story.Intersperse these shots with incredibly horrible CGI shots of water and sand floods - I'm talking incredibly bad effects. First year students would do at least 20x better.Also be warned before you shell out your hard earned money - this is one short movie.Definite skip.
