Bardlerx Strictly average movie
PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
TheLittleSongbird Was expecting not so good things, considering the studio 'Jurassic School' comes from (a studio that churns out so many mediocre at best and often terrible films and few decent ones). Gave it the benefit of the doubt because it sounded like an inoffensively cute idea and as someone who's enjoyed some dinosaur films in the past (naming them will be unfair on the film but the most obvious example springs into many people's heads straight-away).'Jurassic School' is not what one calls great, or even good. For me most of it was pretty bad actually. Having said that, also have seen far worse films overall and especially recently and it's adequate for a child/family-friendly film, as long as not too much is demanded. Tried to take 'Jurassic School' for what it was and what it tried to be and do, watching with the intent to not take things too seriously. Trying to take all this into account, 'Jurassic School' poorly executes so many elements and even younger viewers are likely to find it a struggle.Gabriel Bennett is an appealing enough young lead and the best thing about the film, he does infuse some energy and spirit and tries not to go over-the-top or take things overly seriously as well not being too much of a brat or too cutesy. Some of 'Jurassic School' is not too badly shot and the music is an okay and lively if not hugely memorable fit.The rest of the actors don't fare well, some going-through-the-motioners but mostly the film is over-played. It is hard to get behind characters that are so irritating and with not a lot of personality outside of archetypes, with very broad and often unrealistically cartoonish behaviours.Not once is the script anything other than excessive campy cheese and unnaturally-flowing awkwardness. The story is frenetically paced, and full of predictability and with no tension or charm. The relationship between the boy and the dinosaur would have been convincing if the wannabe-cute dinosaur didn't look so cheap or sounded creepy, betrayed in some close-ups.Overall, less than mediocre but not irredeemable. 3/10 Bethany Cox
cornsail There is a robot dinosaur in this movie that poops out donuts. That is all you need to know.
imullen-33911 In this masterful work by Mark Atkins, our hero Tommy, the lovable and heroic mastermind of Dino experimentation hatches his very own Dino! While the Dino learns about the common era, Tommy himself learns of love and fatherhood. Watching the character arc develop for the last hour and a half was a very rewarding experience for myself and my friends. l have never seen graphics as amazing as this movie. It really felt as if I was in there with Spike the Dino and Tommy the hero! I truly hope that there is a sequel in the making, and I bet that these actors have great careers ahead of themselves.
Enkidu kids acting was fine, parents were OK,Doctor and teacher were god, dinosaur animation was acceptable, but when camera gets close and they use the plastic version, god that's horrible horrible! even those kids could do better job. why did the producer ruin everything by being so careless about the dinosaur its self. the voice of dinosaur, was that a man trying to make baby crying voice?!
