"Walking with Dinosaurs" is the ultimate immerse experience, utilizing state of the art 3D to put audiences in the middle of a thrilling and epic prehistoric world, where an underdog Dino triumphs to become a hero for the ages.

Likes : Despite the bad reviews this film as got i think these people are more use to the action film than seeing the real beauty behind this film, which i completely loved it best thing was (John Leguizamo) narrating though the film telling the story. I'm a big kid at heart i love dinosaur movies this remembers me of land before time animated film & the other film called dinosaurs i use to watch when i was a kid as all the dinosaurs have their own traits & character that all the family will laugh & cry at.
The one thing in this film that got me laughing my head off was the three Pterodactyl just the way their scene's in this film are filmed just complete comical moment but that my sense of humor i love seeing that it a film it adds character to the film.
It tells the story of Patchi voiced by (Justin Long) a Pachyrhinosaurus as he struggles to make his way in the dinosaur world. Patchi is brave and kind and despite being the runt of the litter has an incredible knack of survival in an extremely treacherous environment with a life long friend named Alex a Alexornis voice by (John Leguizamo), the adventure together is laughable at time, funny & inspiring as patchi also fall in love with another pachyrhinosaurus named Juniper voiced by (Tiya Sircar) together it becomes a struggle to the feed ground with patchi's bullying brother Scowler voice by (Skyler Stone).
This story does have its moments with tragic scenes that bring an emotional side along with some fact about some of the dinosaurs as they appear which is good to educate the young kids i thought that was brilliant done & the story isn't to complicated for the younger kid to follow it just depend on the attention span your kid will have because some kids wont sit down & watch a film, but for the older generation this does have some adult humor like the ice age film have depending on your sense of humor.

All in all this film is a great film for kids, family or even if your in to dinosaur movies this is a film i recommend for all generation's to enjoy.


Dislikes : i think it could of had a bit more dinosaurs in this but for kids this film is brilliantly done.

Overall : Great C.G.I, brilliant adventure film, great story, brilliant characters & funny moment's

Rating: 4.7 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for story-line / comical moment's
