Dinosaur Island (2014)

Good concept, poorly executed.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Yep, I'm gonna be THAT mean Lol Seriously though, this whole film may indeed have been Shot in only 10 weeks, but surely the kids could have had more acting lessons in that time. It's painful to watch! Plus, being British myself, does the Girl really have to have such a strong, cliché British Accent? She sounds like a little Mary Poppins FFS!... and I mean the original Julie Andrews version.Anyway, now that I've had my Rant, it's actually quite a fun film to watch. The Special Effects are quite impressive for such a Low Budget Film. It's probably best that you don't take it too seriously - it's a great film to chill out in front of & suitable for all ages, especially other kids who won't be so judgemental of the Kid's Acting Skills as adults who know what to look for! Bearable Fun.

I have waited a while, and seen a lot of movies but this is on a par with some old time worst ever movies like the creeping terror or Eegah! and has none of the charm of them.The main character is so badly acted and obnoxious that I am surprised the posh girl doesn't kill him and eat him on sight. I would have willed one of the monsters to kill the vile little s**t if they had looked in any way realistic (which they don't)For kids? I wouldn't be so cruel. I can give you a list of hundreds of films better for them then this, both old and new. Frankly it's an insult to anyone old enough to focus their eyes and see in colour.Positives? It ended. The girl is quite pretty. I never have to see it again

when I saw that this movie was going to have feathered dinosaurs I was hyped . Then I saw a bunch of dinosaurs that looked like shitty JP rejects that had feathers glued on them . Also this movie contains micro raptor twerking . Yes I said micro raptor twerking . Furthermore the T. Rex looks like it's as high as a kite , the raptors look stupid and the colors of the dinosaurs are the cherry on top of the dead carcass of what could be a very entertaining kids movie . In addition , the child actors are horrid and as for our main character he is an annoying little brat .As for the plot it could be excusable if there was anything that was entertaining in this train wreck . In conclusion , stay away from this horrible movie . It's so bad you cannot even use it to get your kids to sit down for an hour because it's BORING

I bought this for my kids to have over the Easter Holidays and they just love this film. We saw it at the cinema in the Blue Mountains where it was the number 1 film for weeks. The kids begged me to get them the DVD as soon as it came out. It really is a lovely film. The kids adore the bird character, "Mimos" and all the other creatures in the film. Its nice that everything is so colourful and the story although simple has some lovely themes consistent with a good family movie. Although it is targeted towards young audiences the adults in our home enjoyed the quick pace and great visual effects. We looove the fuzzy t-rex and the music is just beautiful. Lovely to hear the Aussie accents in a kids film for a change and I think the acting wasn't too bad. I have read the negative reviews on this site and they clearly are incorrect. This movie should be in every families DVD collection. Cute story and cute characters - it doesn't need to win an Acadamy Award, it just needs to entertain and it has certainly done that.
