A Truly Enjoyable Film for all Ages. Bravo! Well done.
This time around, Manny and Ellie are expecting a baby mammoth, something that leads to unexpected responses from Diego and Sid. When Sid decides to become a parent himself in return, he steals three giant eggs he accidentally bumps into, only to later realize they're dinosaur eggs that belong to a pretty angry mother.
One of the funniest moments in the film is when Sid tries to milk this ancient cow but soon finds out that the cow is not female.
When mother-dinosaur kidnaps Sid, it's up to Manny and friends to return him home safely. Adventure and excitement ensue as they find out that underneath their icy world lives a land filled with enormous and sometimes menacing dinosaurs, one which our friends would need to cross in order to rescue Sid.
Even though we all should all be fully aware that the age of the dinosaur died off millions of years before animals such as the woolly mammoth and saber-toothed tiger appeared, we have to realize that the two periods have merged together in this film. This happens to be explained in the film since the story points out that the new find of the underground cavern harbors a taste of all the special dinosaurs that have managed to survive underground since their extinction. The mammals probably didn't even know about all of these creatures before.
An Ankylosaurus (large herbivore with an armoured back and tail club) is shown attacking the main characters when they first enter the dinosaur world. Even though the dinosaur is a bit over-exaggerated, it adds a bit of excitement to the film. Although some will wrongly think that the dinosaur is portrayed here as a carnivore, it is more likely that it attacked the group because it felt threatened by them, like a modern rhino.
Scrat is still on the hunt to hold onto his beloved acorn, while finding a possible romance in a female sabre-toothed squirrel named Scratte. Manny and Ellie, having since become an item, are expecting a baby, which leaves Manny anxious to ensure that everything is perfect for when his baby arrives. Diego is fed up with being treated like a house-cat and ponders the notion that he is becoming too laid-back. Sid begins to wish for a family of his own, and so steals some dinosaur eggs which leads to Sid ending up in a strange underground world where his herd must rescue him, while dodging dinosaurs and facing danger left and right, and meeting up with a one-eyed possum known as Buck who hunts dinosaurs intently.
Buck (Simon Pegg) is a fantastic new addition to the franchise, a looney tune hermit possum who joins the herd around half way through. When he enters the scene, the whole movie shifts up a gear! Some of the stuff he comes out with will have you rolling in the isle! If you have the chance, you must see it in 3D! It's amazing how a new version of such outdated technology can take you even deeper into a film. The chases are more exciting, the locations more real, it works so well, it doesn't give you a migraine!
Dawn of the Dinosaurs sports some great visuals, sweeping landscapes, and phenomenal character design. Everything looks and sounds just as it should. The film spots some fantastic voice acting most prominently from Pegg. What trips them up is the lazy dialogue, as much as the trailer tried to deviate away from it, Buck is the focal point of the movie, he's in 80% of it and does a great job in every scene. It's just a shame that by doing this they pushed the rest of the cast to the rear.
