![]() ![]() While I see little wrong with the graphics, others who are too used to the realistic graphics of today might find them too unrealistic to bare. The mini-series is one filled with scientific flaws, and those who despise excessive false 'movie science' in films or programmes might find this one unwatchable, what with the sunstones which ward off all 'bad' dinosaurs, or the fact that good dinosaurs can talk, and then there's the part where dinosaurs coexist with humans in the first place, and haven't seemed to evolve much, beyond creating a 'Saurian' language.įinally, there's the graphics. ![]() I don't find this too much of a drawback, especially seeing as that doesn't stop a certain bad guy from acting bad, or certain figures or authority from acting like arrogant fools, but for some, it might still be a little childish for their tastes. Unfortunately, it does kind of lessen the experience a bit, but for children, this is something that can be easily ignored.Īlso, the Dinotopia world does seem a little too innocent. I must admit, the acting isn't brilliant. It is also creative, with quite a lot of imagination thrown into it.Īnd finally, I, personally, don't think the graphics are too bad (I've seen-and enjoyed- worse). It is also a brilliant film for the family, but more for the children than the adults. The culture is so rich and fantastical, that even now I feel drawn into it. So much seems to happen in these episodes- from the two brothers trying to find a way to survive in (and escape) this new world, to them finally accepting their place in it. Most live peacefully together, the exception being the ferocious carnivores, who yearn to make meals of their enemies.I'll try to put aside my personal love for the mini-series due to nostalgia whilst reviewing this product, and give my honest opinion after watching it once more as an adult rather than a child. Karl and David manage to keep their heads above water long enough to wash ashore on an uncharted island, populated by a unique breed of humans as well as prehistoric creatures with tongue-twisting names - pterosaurs, steneonychosauruses and mosasaurs. The tiny aircraft crashes into the sea and only the boys are able to escape the cockpit before it submerges. ![]() Frank Scott and his teenage sons, Karl and David, are flying in a private plane over the Caribbean when they encounter problems. ![]() Surely fans of the books will at least sample the TV production. The miniseries also will be an international event, which justifies its extravagant budget. James Gurney's fables about a society in which dinosaurs and humans coexist harmoniously have sold tens of millions of copies in 18 languages.
