My review of Disney's Dinosaur

My review of Disney's Dinosaur 

 

Intro: OK I'm not going to compare this movie to the land before time. 

My Editor: Really? Then why are your figures crossed? 

Me: Darn it! 

Dinosaur: This movie is centered on an Iguanodon name Aladar who lives on an island with his lemur family. His world turn upside down when a meteor strike destroyed the island so they have to find another place to live with the help of other herbivores. That becomes difficult without food, water and they are being chase by Carnotaurus. So the group have to do there best to stay the course. 

This is an overlooked movie I can understand why I mean the marketing didn't do this movie any justice. The CGI was impressive for it's time, it blends in well with the real world environment. Despite the Dinosaurs have the ability to speak they feel like real animals in how they behave. Plus, we would have a hard time making out what's happening in some scenes. The story may be simple be it works in the movies favor because these are Dinosaurs it doesn't have to be complex. I like the Carnotaurus because they don't talk that makes them more threatening. I'm surprised that this is considered a family film because of how violent it is. The theme of this movie is survival we see the dinosaurs trying to survive the aftermath of the meteor attack and they have different ways to go about it.   

Aladar is brave and compassionate. However he has to learn how to stand his ground. 

Kron ( the group leader.) is ruthless because he believes in the survival of the fittest. Having this mindset creates tension between him and Aladar. What bugs me about is that would he leave his sister Neera behind if she wasn't strong enough? 

Speaking of Neera she's the opposite of her brother. 

Zini ( one of the lemur.) is the comic relief. 

Yar ( Aladar's adopted father.) is grumble but caring. 

Plio is the nurturing one of the Lemurs. 

Eema and Baylene are elderly dinosaurs who prove humor of there own.        

One of the problem I have with this movie is the dialogue is distracting I mean they talk about things that they shouldn't know about or doesn't exist yet like school. The CGI can look dated at times. I don't like the title of this movie I mean why is it called Dinosaur if it's not about one Dinosaur? The movie address natural selection and I wish it did more with that. The movie could have ended differently if someone wasn't stubborn.   

Overall this is a decent Dinosaur movie that should have gotten more attention.
