Dinosaur is a surprisingly strong effort, even in the face of the limitations by the technology the film is using.

Almost unwatchable.

| Original Score: F | May 7, 2019

Stunning, but can be dark and scary in places.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010

When you have spent $200 million on "the dumber version of The Land Before Time", you deserve everything that comes to you.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 15, 2010

The story doesn't matter much when a movie looks this good, and it's a breakthrough of technical achievement.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008

It's the small details, like dino-skin, that Blu-ray really brings to life.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 19, 2006

Aurally and visually this creature feature is a treat.

Parents, you may enjoy the scenery but remember the dinosaurs talk, so bring your earplugs.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

It is the next generation of high technology that further blurs the lines between reality and fantasy.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 9, 2005

The movie follows a rather dull tale similar to the 1988 animated film The Land Before Time.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 2, 2004

The audience is left with a beautiful setting populated by predictable and largely uninteresting characters.

Visually, it's even more astonishing than the high-profile trailers made it look, an astonishing blend of real-life backgrounds and computer-generated characters. It's a shame that the script seems to have been wholly computer generated as well.

| Original Score: B- | May 22, 2003

It is an awsome experience, visually; on the story side it's a tad thin.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 8, 2003

Sadly, there is little sign of the benefits of evolution in the storytelling itself, which sticks too closely to a narrative template seemingly dating back to the Mesolithic era.

Dinosaur mixes state-of-the-art visuals with bottom-of-the-barrel scripting.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 12, 2002

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2002

Utimately it is the look of the film that makes an indelible impression.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 15, 2002

...don't expect much more than eye candy.

As a result of its breathtaking visual effects, Dinosaur is a landmark film.
