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

Most adults won't particularly enjoy this movie I guess. I'm 25 and I watched this late at night when I didn't want to be bothered with anything mind bending. I think it's fair to say that anyone who is looking for a movie to watch with his kids this is a good movie to go for. The animation was pretty well made for a B-movie, although it looked out of place from time to time (meaning that you could obviously see that the dinosaur wasn't really standing in that scene). The acting was mediocre but far from bad and no child will be bothered by this. I rated this from my sleepy point of view or a children's point of view as a 7.

I found Dinosaur Island to be a very good movie. I liked the way that they used the premise of crystals for the time travel part of the story. The way that The myths of the Bermuda triangle was integrated with the idea of an island outside of time seemed to be a very cool idea. Especially since they included dinosaurs. I must admit that I actually enjoyed the way that the dinosaurs looked. It was an interesting take on how they looked and as we truly don't know how most dinosaurs actually looked it was good to see something different from the usual take. I thought that the two lead actors actually done a decent job. I found that the characters were well developed and that you actually cared about what happens to them. The scenery of the movie was absolutely beautiful and the emotions where well placed with the score. The pacing of the movie in my mind was well done and even though I am an adult I truly enjoyed this movie. The way that the movie ended was also a nice touch. I stumbled upon this movie in the children's section at the shops and bought it on a whim, and I am glad I did. Personally I think that this is a movie that the whole family can enjoy. I only wished that I could have seen this on the big screen. This is the kind of movie that proves that you don't need a massive budget to make a descent film. I hope Australia can make more of these types of movies as their definitely is a market for them. If you expect a Jurassic Park style movie then you'll probably be disappointed, however if you want a movie that isn't violent and isn't packed with vulgarity then like me you might just love this movie.

I saw this film last weekend and it was fantastic! My kids requested they go as all the kids at their school were talking about it. Such a great little story - kids loved it, my daughter and son (5 and 8) sat through the whole movie and really enjoyed it. Its not too scary and the dinosaurs are incredible. When I called to find out the times, I was told they were adding cinemas and extra sessions its doing so well, our screening was pretty full on a Sunday afternoon. Amazing job for a first time Australian independent release. I don't know why the reviews are so bad on here, they certainly were not indicative of the film I saw. Maybe people were expecting a more "adult" style film?? The CGI was excellent, the acting was acceptable, the music was beautiful. The story was simple and linear but had a great twist at the end I didn't see coming. Well done to all involved, I highly recommend this film to families with small children.
