A boy from the present brings a crystal on an airplane and wakes up on a beach after a storm. Wandering in a nearby forest, he encounters dinosaurs and is saved by a girl from about 60 years in the past. Together, they are captured by a tribe of children and escape as the boy tries to find a way home.
Crappy. An hour and 20 minutes felt like forever and a half watching a flick made for kids. There was a definite lack of plot. It seemed like there were CG dinosaurs with a thin veil of plot carelessly draped them. The characters were annoying to no end because their dialogue was poorly written. Acting was even worse. Shit having been talked, it was a technical masterpiece. Sets and costumes looked convincing (mostly CG), camera-work and editing were beautifully done and obviously, special effects were the main attraction. The dinosaurs looked alive and featured an incredible level of detail. Audio brings us back to shit talk again. No matter how epic the symphonic string section gets, I won't buy this farce of a plot. It also included the voices of the 2 main characters. This has 3.4/10 on IMDB and 21% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. I agree completely with this 27.5% average grade. I have to rate it bad because I didn't turn it off. The only way to save it would be to edit out everything except CG dinosaurs.
