Buzz (DaytonaBob) Well I just re-watched the series. What can I say, I was really hoping that possibly, just possibly the second watching might make me see or think of things differently.Nope.What is presented here is a fascist society. A sort of benevolent (if that is possible) dictatorship. I kept praying that someone would wipe that smile off the face of that bitch who ran things. Talk about annoying.This is the sort of society that makes you actually happy for discontent in ours. There is NO choice in what you do. Ever watch FUTURAMA and the 'job chip in the hand' thing? Same thing here. One has no choice in their lives.Sorry but sounds more like HELL! The acting is so so. The flight instructor was over the top. He was horrible. And this bit of risking your life to get your flying monster? Oh puhleeze. It's amazing how some things just don't translate very well to visualizing it vs how you read it.No theater? No fiction? No amusement parks? No nothing? Just follow the Dear Leader's way of doing things? No writings, or ability to think for oneself? NO looking for those who are creative, think for themselves, the dreamers, those who want to make things better? Just sheep? The writing made me gag. Who came up with some of this dialog? Did they go to a UCLA film school and choose the worst hack writers? The entire show just made me ill. A backwards society that frowns upon progress? And this is supposed to be a good thing? Didn't we get past all of that in the last few centuries? The show COULD have had such great possibilities but instead fell back on typical hack writing. No originality, no hope, no Nada.The society presented is to diametrically opposed to itself to actually work. There HAS to be progress or a society ceases to function properly and the morons who wrote this just didn't understand that. When introducing modern thought and ideas to an old society the writers COULD have shown a better society being made, but instead chose the typical Hollywood way of doing things, which is bettering yourself is bad.Think about it. In just about every single show or movie, it turns out to be a BAD THING when the actors do better in life. Make a lot of money, get a promotion, win the lottery, etc. We are shown that being a sheeple is better than doing good. How many movies have you seen where the promotion turns into a bad thing for the lead? ALL OF THEM.And another thing, what is up with the professional writers always coming here and promoting junk? Do you know ANYONE who writes like these guys? They are easy to spot. Very easy.This show is just further proof that hack writers own Hollywood.Crap o Topia indeed.

LRPharm54 Considering the number of ideas incorporated in making of prehistoric movies with cavemen, dinosaurs, and travel back in time, Dinotopia brings on a refreshing new twist.My thoughts on this movie can only see it as a vehicle to good family fun. It has reasonably good acting, graphics are great, and special effects are above average. I would recommend this movie to anyone having a desire to enjoy a simply fun movie with enjoyable twists.Nothing about the film is boring and borders on hysterical. It is a good movie for all ages and the lack of sexual undertones and violence gives the movie a refreshing alternative to otherwise destructive mediums.I believe it is worth the time to see and let the good times roll. It may not be the best movie in the world, but is most certainly is not the worst, and I would recommend it any and all to watch.

misskiwi4 Recently becoming a Wentworth Miller fan, I found myself drawn to his earlier works and came upon this charming miniseries. It's definitely worth a look. If your into seeing cutesy fantasy films, than this a movie for you. Not only was the acting, and choices for actors/actresses great, but the special effects were phenomenal. After a while I had to remind myself that the dinosaurs were actually fake, because it's easily forgotten. The story is entertaining and moves along nicely. Also, the music and storyline overall really gave it a truly classic and magical feel. It really was a treat to see. I'd recommend it, without question.

ishootducks This miniseries had an interesting premise... But it didn't live up to the hype for one reason alone: The acting was terrible. ABC ran commercials nonstop proclaiming this to be a great success, then when it ran it was painful to watch. The script was full of cheesy lines that you would expect in a bad comic book, and there was almost no believable dialogue at all. The best example of bad acting in this series was the actor who played David. He was the worst in the series. it seemed as if all of the series' budget went into animation and then they hired soap opera actors. The animation was great and the landscapes were beautiful, but the series was just too painful to watch. I saw it twice so I know what I am talking about. I was left feeling very unfulfilled after this.
