Watch Dinosaur Island For Free

Very best movie i ever watch

Awesome Movie

A Masterpiece!

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

JOURNEY TO DINOSAUR ISLAND is a tiny-budgeted kid's adventure movie from Australia. The script is pedestrian and the story nothing more than a mish mash of previous genre staples and the like; the main thing is to get a couple of kids and have them interacting with various kinds of dinosaur, all of which have a uniform green/blue look. The CGI effects aren't quite as terrible as I had feared - they're better than in your average Asylum movie, for example - but they're still pretty poor, although not as poor as the terrible acting from the child leads.

The script was awful, The acting was bad, The VFX is OK, could have been better.there were awkward moments/acting all through out the movie, unrealistic situations/reactions, and I guess the director is not yet ready for this kind of ambitious project, I'm just sad that the line " A kid's Film" being used into an alibi for making a bad movie.and not to mention it a full-feature film and been shown if Theaters with a production budget.The Theatrical Poster was good though, it fooled me thinking it was a good movie.

Cons first: There's actually only one, and that's the acting being rather weak, although not as bad or cringe-worthy as reviewers had me believe. That takes out 1 point off my note, but certainly doesn't make Dinosaur Island yet another "worst film ever." In fact, I found the kid heroes quite adorable, which is a rarity for me, cinema-wise.Now for the good bits: The story-telling goes old fashion children adventure, following a duo of spirited smart kids with a positive attitude. It works on kid movie logic, as it should, so as to concentrate on laughs, thrills, and mostly on delivering a sense of wonder and mystery. There's the mandatory adorable animal pet, which is truly adorable; and extremely smart, way too much if you watch it in a cynical mood, but that would be your problem.My favourite bit is the fauna & flora couple. It's diverse, colourful, and a real joy to watch, apart for a pair of creepy-crawly critters that are efficiently yucky. The expected T-Rex is there, updated to its current scientific status, and I have to say that it looks surprisingly scary with its flashy red and blue feathers. Then the writer went crazy with the plants. Some of them look like they were extracted from Lovecraft's mind. Fortunately, the bright colours dampen the horror. They might still be scary enough for children, but they end up mostly bizarre and mysterious.Let's mention that all this vivid life is watched under a blue sky. Hollywood it ain't, hence the makers felt no need to hide CGI imperfections in 90 minutes of darkness. Quite the opposite. CGI are the way to go for lower budgets. They'll never look as good as animatronics, but the latter are much more demanding. Dinosaur Island's end credits read like a family project. Several families in fact. They proudly show their baby in full daylight, and I'm glad they do.Dinosaur Island is Jules Verne done right. I watched it with eyes wide open and a permanent smile. I found all the ingredients that make children dream of adventure and paradise islands: prehistoric beasts (instead of mosquitoes), fantastic tree houses, not so dangerous tribes, crystal caves (who wouldn't love to discover some, like in Mexican Naica ?) and, above all, the mixing of gorgeous scenery and modern wrecks. This marriage shall be the glue and the trademark of this nice piece of entertainment.

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.
