Karl Scott: Well, yeah, I guess.

surprisingly good, 11 August 2002
9/10
Author: broken_dreamz

the movie was way beyond my expectations for a whole 'fiction, fantasy' gene. considering they were talking about dinos here, i had my doubts about it. but the movie spoke for itself, and managed to sastify me. the acting was good, the lines were belieable, and the plot came together quite well. i would have never expected this much from what i first deemed a show for the "kiddies".

on the whole, i enjoyed it a lot, and i'm hoping there will be a sequel to this. a very good watch.
