There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

only the zippy dinosaur is vaguely amusing and interesting (watch him play tennis!), but the rest is disgusting. Marion, who is as ugly as a dinosaur egg, is really unrealistic as the object of affection of 2 guys. she is also really old, and boring in character. the hot brother is just cute, but his reaction is more realistic. my dad just died, and now there's dinosaurs all around? give me a break. Wentworth miller is ugly as always, but he's really a jerk while training to fly. he thinks he's special, and wants to SAVE THE WORLD!!! boring, even Jurassic park is better than this dinosaur waste. so do not watch this uninspiring wannabe fantasy rip off of narnia.

I saw this series on TV last night and wow was i stunned. The acting is just perfectly! I love how they cast the actors, as if they found some real midievel people and made them act in this movie. Also the special effects are mind blowing. At times i can't believe its all CGI, it just looks so super real! Compared to Jurrasic Park this Movie still looks great, maybe even better because those are just dolls. Hello we live in the 21st century. I myself would love to be in Dinotopia. I recommend this movie to anybody who wants some company in those rainy days. I hope they will release a DVD directors cut with more scenes, i just cant get enough of Dinotopia and all its wonderful actors and dino's. If you love Dino's, then you gotta check this out.

Simply a superb 4 hour movie. Excellent cast who are truly believable in their roles. The female leads are so remarkably alike I began to think they were really related. The 2 male leads interact well that they are believable as brothers. The sets are tremendous and are very lifelike, even if much is made of the same set time-after-time (the big ramp). The animatronic Dino's could have a greater range as not many interact with the rest of the cast as I would have liked - I seem to recall a similar premise in another film who's name I cannot recall! - which never worked as well as this one does. As I have it on DVD it is I saw it as a film, but there is plenty of opportunities for pausing within the presentation - probably where ad breaks were and episodes ended. The story is one suitable for both children and adults, and will appeal to all ages, although it can appear a little simplistic at times. This reflects the age group the original book as are aimed at.

maybe it's the original book, but this is so stupid. They live in freaking Waterfall City, and they spend all their time looking for sun stones as a source of power. use the damn waterfalls! create electricity!!! The leading actors are also horrible, especially Wentworth Miller as David, he's acting like he's the director's con who got his first chance in front of a camera. Katie Carr is also laconic and amateur, and only Tyron Leitso does a fair job.The special effects are nice and the CGI character of Zipeau (or Zippo?) is quite lovable. The story is a predictable Disney-esquire adventure for kids, very kitsch, very American and very simplistic.But Dinotopia still keeps some level of interest. It's watchable, if you have 4 extra hours and you can sleep. It will get you to slumber-land, that's for sure.
