With cringe-worthy dialogue and a long and unnecessary story, there's nothing about this film that stands out, which unfortunately shames the late '90s BBC series from which it originates.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 14, 2018

Cook and Nightingale's kiddie flick is an uneasy, innocuous and easily avoidable anomaly.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2018

For all of its visual feats, you can never quite get around that disconnected dialogue, especially the persistent chatter from a prehistoric bird-narrator voiced by John Leguizamo that approaches Jar-Jar levels of irritation.

For a film where so much effort has been put into making the CGI effects look good, a similar amount of emphasis and importance haven't been devoted to dialogues.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 18, 2017

Littlies will be enchanted by these visually impressive talking dinos.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2017

When the wisecracking dialogue occasionally shuts up and the jerky pace slows down, you notice the astonishing CGI detailing. Otherwise, this boasts all the flair, heart and originality of an inbred sea cucumber.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 6, 2017

The problem isn't the animation, which has been accomplished and, at times, jaw-dropping. It's the concepts and the writing.

| Original Score: C | Apr 3, 2016

All narration and childish fart jokes should've been removed from this movie, and then, perhaps the children in the audience would actually learn something.

| Original Score: D- | Apr 23, 2015

"(A)beautifully animated but plot-thin kids film that borrows heavily in the story department from both the Land Before Time and Ice Age movies, as well as various Disney animated classics."

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2014

Walking with Dinosaurs 3D has gorgeous, meticulously detailed CGI, but also way too many stupid jokes about poop and puke.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 28, 2014

I realize scientists can't prove dinosaurs didn't communicate telepathically, but I suspect the filmmakers' decision to go telepathic stems more from financial concerns than artistic or scientific ones.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 9, 2014

Some of the character transformations are rushed (such as that of Patchi's older brother) and I don't quite think there's enough here to keep youngsters entertained.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 9, 2014

As I gazed, slack-jawed, at the fantastic visuals of wWalking With Dinosaurs,' I could not fathom how it came to be paired with the hideous, low-brow dialogue. And then I think I figured it out.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 7, 2014

The film should have been called Walking Very Slowly With Dinosaurs. And as well as being shown in 2D and 3D, the posters should have included that the film can also be seen in Zero D, which is the format you experience the film in when you fall asleep.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 5, 2014

[The] inevitable big-screen brand expansion of the Walking with Dinosaurs property proves to be as slickly-packaged an endeavour as you'd expect from any franchise entrant.

| Dec 31, 2013

With no attempt at lip-synching, the detachment of the voices from the main characters is more supernatural than 3D.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 27, 2013

An educational show with the addition of a moronic plot and a lot of poop and flatulence gags.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 26, 2013

Unfortunately dopey, it's a nonsensical, mind-numbing disappointment.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 23, 2013

an insufferable family adventure whose impressive animation is consistently undercut by cartoonish self-awareness.

| Dec 23, 2013

Pop-up infomercials introducing each new character remind us that there's an educational remit lurking somewhere in the background, but the primary thrust is light, breezy and a little bit bitey.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2013
