    ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
    Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
    Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
    Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
    deihnyx As a show, it's decent at best, but the dvd production makes me wonder what's going on and most importantly in which order I should be watching it. On the american version, "Cars Wars" happens after "The Matriach", but in the European version (the one I have anyway) "Cars Wars" is merged with "The Matriach" with a bit of extra content in the middle to link the two. Pretty much all the episodes are like that, with the last 3 episodes "The Cure 1/2" and "Crossroads" being condensed into 2 episodes in the european version... Also the US version is cropped (4:3) which makes it really awful to watch.I'm sure people would have appreciated this show more but as it is right now I simply don't understand how everything is supposed to fit within a timeline.
    Michael O'Keefe Hallmark Entertainment presents this fantasy adventure and misadventures of an idyllic lost land where a society has been created where dinosaurs and humans co-exist. Millionaire Frank Scott(Michael Brandon)and his two sons David(Shiloh Strong)and Karl(Erik Von Deeten)crash land their plane on Dinotopia. Realizing they will never get the chance to go back home, acclimating themselves is a tall order. The harmony of co-existence and a successful society is in danger when the source of power, sunstones, begin to fail. David and Karl are not shy in giving their all to protect and preserve their new home. Frank has opposition when trying to get the symbiotic population involved in a new industrial revolution; which failed them some two hundred years earlier. The live action and CGI prehistoric creatures look smoothly mixed making this fantasy escapism more enjoyable. Other cast members include: Lisa Zane, Georgina Rylance, Jonathan Hyde, Sophia Ward and John Owens.
    mop-6 Dinotopia is a fun and new series. It is not another knock-off like so many of the other programs broadcasted today. Dinotopia's premise supports the idea that a multi-cultural society can live and thrive in harmony. The eclectic scenery and costumes really support the multi-cultural aspect of Dinotopia. I was originally worried about the change of the cast from a miniseries to a regular series but I feel the actors have secured their own places in their Dinotopia roles. I have not read the books yet but after seeing the series, I'm interested in reading them. I would like to address the other users comments about the possible doom of this series. Dinotopia's doom will not be from the shows lack of success. It will be because the local stations have pigeonholed the program. Dinotopia in our area was repeatedly exempted for sporting events and Christmas specials.
    paramed-1 I think that Erik von Detten is the person who makes show real. He hasn't in the past, been given the parts that show what a great actor he is. I hope one day he will receive the recognition that he deserves. Although, Erik hasn't been given the parts he deserves, he always makes each movie or show great to watch. Good luck to you Erik, I pulling for you.
