Review of Dinotasia (2012) by Laura M — 17 Apr 2013

I didn't find this too bad at all! As a dinosaur fan I was a bit disappointed with some of the inaccuracies ("cutting edge' is a bit of an exaggeration imo, except for the little feathered theropods which were portrayed brilliantly) but for short little clips it was quite entertaining - this is not meant to be some heart-rending drama with intricate plots and frills for the kids' amusement.

I found much of it better than the BBC representation most people know of simply because it's not trying to appeal to the masses; you're not spoondfed as to what is happening and who the characters are.

Another reviewer put it aptly when they said, "This decision to avoid treating the dinosaurs as surrogate people for easy identification is... the film's boldest move". Maybe you need to be a dinosaur nut to do so, but enjoy it for what it is - one group's representation and interpretation of non-avian dinosaur life.
