Admittedly, the CGI is way better than the original series', however Walking with Dinosaurs: The Movie is still a spit in the face to the original show's fans by having awful voices for the dinosaurs, and unnecessary bathroom humor to entertain kids who deserve better quality than this. Please reboot this franchise.1/10

Jacob's Review: I am an enormous dinosaur fan and I share this fanatic behaviour with a close friend. When we heard news of a Walking with Dinosaurs movie, the child in me got excited. I was utterly obsessed with the television documentary and a film adaptation seemed like a good idea at the time. However, I didn't hear an abundance of positive descriptions about this movie. So when I entered the theatre I braced myself... We could not have made a greater mistake than paying $20 each to go see this movie. The animation was spectacular but that was the only truly great attribute. For years many directors have been attempting to tell a prehistoric story simply through visuals or narration and this film's trailers depicted it in that light. It turns out that as an after thought, voice overs were added and a prologue with some dweeb teen who hates dinosaurs. He is then confronted by a bird voiced by John Leguizamo who can communicate telepathically. The bird begins to tell a story about a herd of ancient behemoths and the journey of three lost Pachyrhinosaurs. The voice overs are atrocious and all they ever talk about is fart, vomit and poop. It is really distracting when something is supposed to be taken seriously but is juxtaposed with this immature attempt to be humorous. It was as if the producers thought that children's attention spans wont last long if there isn't lines like "get your butt out of my face". As a stroke of genius they put this in because that's all kids care about isn't it? Screw this film. This movie is annoying and weak. Don't feed this to children. 3/10

This one came from my public library on DVD. My wife and I enjoyed it but it is probably better suited for the younger generation. It takes pains to make the CGI prehistoric life as accurate as current science can tell us, and each time a new species is introduced flashed on the screen are a few details about it, like what its name means and what its diet consists of.The story is set in Alaska and the time covered in the story is the long migration south as fall and winter set in, then the reverse migration as spring returns. There are a number of characters but the core story involves Patchi, a kind critter that develops a hole in his upper head after almost being eaten, his larger and meaner brother Scowler who becomes the alpha of the group, and cute (in a dinosaur way) and sweet Juniper. She is first Patchi's girlfriend but when Scowler wins leadership he also takes Juniper for himself. At times I found it just too juvenile for me, but at other times I found myself really interested. It is not an outstanding movie, nor is it a poor movie. It is great for the right audience.

Cannot compare this with the 1999 BBC documentary series, this is a family movie, or I can also say, a children movie.Made with mixture of real location filming and CGI, I think children who loves dinosaurs will like this movie.I was quite relieved that they didn't make the dinosaurs mouth move while they talk, I prefer it this way, when their mouths stay still when they talk to each other.Many people say that Hollywood ruins the awesome BBC documentary, but I'd say it's just another movie. And the BBC documentary is not so good anyway, in my opinion.So, enjoy watching with your children. But be careful, some parents might find the fight scenes too violent for children under 5 years old.
