Brilliant and touching
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
...or Pete's Dragon. It's nowhere near that high calibre of movie.I really didn't know what to expect before I started watching this movie. At the beginning, the movie had the look and feel of E.T. But that soon disappeared the moment the main characters "Jake" and his brother "Mike" started acting.Although some of the kids can actually act. One in particular - "Max" - not only can act, but is funny.The way the military carry out their manoeuvres and act is about as convincing as the quality - or lack-thereof - of the CGI of the dinosaurs found in the movie.The movie is supposed to be set in a small town in the USA. But I immediately noticed the houses and streets etc in the movie looked very much like houses found in Australia - which is where I'm from. I then looked at IMDb.com which confirmed this movie was shot in Australia. They didn't even bother using a left-hand drive version of the white van used in the movie - Australia is a right-hand drive country. But at least they got the American accent right. Or did they? So on behalf of Australia, I apologise for this movie. I promise we make better movies than this.
Currently on a visit to NSW, and staying with family in Lithgow, they told us that much of this movie had been shot in their street. So on our first evening here they put it on. After the drive up from Sydney, and then a few drinks over dinner, I soon began to doze off. I guess I ended up watching about half of it, but it really failed to interest me at all. I don't mind that it was a low budget offering, but what I could grasp of the plot was that it was pointless and rambling. The kids tried hard, so I will give it 3/10, but it is best avoided, or otherwise used as a cure for insomnia.
I almost didn't watch this because of the poor reviews. The people who wrote them are completely inaccurate and I don't understand how IMDb can allow troll posts like these to stay up on their site. This is a well made family film with good actors, a decent script, very good cinematography and it is what its supposed to be, a fun film about a kid with a pet dinosaur. Definitely worth a look.
I have low expectations for children's films because they're usually terrible. This film isn't very good, even by those low standards.You can see that it wants to be a family friendly action film, with a bit of heartwarming stuff between the kid and his dinosaur.It fails pretty hard at that. There's no humour or charm here. There's no chemistry between the actors, or between the actors and the cgi creatures. The set pieces are weak.Both my child and I got bored very quickly.It's a shame, because it could have been so much better. We deffo need films like this.
