Don't bother

A Customer from England, 23rd March, 2005

If you ask for the four part version of Dinotopia you will end up with the series made specifically for TV. I've had two attempts at it without joy. The discs are in the wrong cases. Perhaps if you order the series you will get the film!

strictly for the kids

A Customer from Windermere, 24th November, 2008

My daughters (aged 7,8 and 11) enjoyed this. It looked good and was pretty harmless. But - with the notable exception of David Thewliss - the acting was incredibly wooden, the script was awful and the story was completely daft. It's fun for the kids, but parents will struggle to sit through it unless they can ignore the rubbish that the cast is talking and how they're saying it. Instead, just sit back and admire how pretty they all are.
