The special effects are very well executed in this IMAX 3D film. It seemed as if the dinosaurs were close enough to eat me on more than one occasion. And when some birds are seen on screen, you feel as if you can reach out and touch them. The scenes filmed in Argentina are very beautiful. The scientific knowledge shared in this film is fascinating which may or may not be news to some viewers. There are tidbits such as some dinosaurs having walked on two legs and some on four. Even a new discovery of a specific species of dinosaurs is mentioned. The size of most of the dinosaur eggs being just larger than grape-fruit size was an interesting tidbit.

We note that the subject of evolution is mentioned twice and some viewers will not agree with this teaching. However, the subject is not dwelt on by the filmmakers and the movie is very entertaining to watch as well as educational. There is a bit of blood as some dinosaurs fight each other, but it isn’t much and we believe that most kids will be all right as they view the film. We would ask that parents consult the content chart below as the dinosaur fights might be a bit intense for very young children.
