During the Cretaceous Period, a dinosaur named Patchi (Justin Long) hatches among a herd of Pachyrhinosaurus. Patchi's runt status means he must use his wits rather than strength to compete for food with his larger brothers and sisters, particularly Scowler.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Walking with Dinosaurs boasts painstaking visual brilliance, but it's unfortunately clouded by a clumsy script that's dominated by juvenile humor.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk When the wisecracking dialogue occasionally shuts up and the jerky pace slows down, you notice the astonishing CGI detailing. Otherwise, this boasts all the flair, heart and originality of an inbred sea cucumber. Rated: 2/5 Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com All narration and childish fart jokes should've been removed from this movie, and then, perhaps the children in the audience would actually learn something. Rated: D- Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Todd Gilchrist TheWrap an insufferable family adventure whose impressive animation is consistently undercut by cartoonish self-awareness. Dec 23, 2013 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Punch Drunk Critics With cringe-worthy dialogue and a long and unnecessary story, there's nothing about this film that stands out, which unfortunately shames the late '90s BBC series from which it originates. Rated: 1/5 Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Jamie Neish CineVue Cook and Nightingale's kiddie flick is an uneasy, innocuous and easily avoidable anomaly. Rated: 2/5 Aug 13, 2018 Full Review Josh Terry Deseret News (Salt Lake City) For all of its visual feats, you can never quite get around that disconnected dialogue, especially the persistent chatter from a prehistoric bird-narrator voiced by John Leguizamo that approaches Jar-Jar levels of irritation.

Jack N Great for kids who love Dinosaurs. That is about it though. Good soundtrack as well. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Thusara R Well yes it's a learning point for kids and some are unnecessary but overall the movie is great. Kids love the humour... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review maddoc s This movie was my childhood, and it is not perfect yes, but it still has amazing animation that can rival Jurassic world. But it can sometimes have humor that kids think is stupid. but it still was my childhood. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/24 Full Review Whisper J Well, i liked the movie. I thought it was cute and had amazing cinematics. I do wish the story had been a little more serious at times but in the end it was a good movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Dylan L This was a great movie when I watched it in 2013 in theaters with my brother and Dad. I love this movie and it brings back fun child hood memories I watch the movie on DVD all the time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/23 Full Review Necroa V Alright so I went into this movie being like "Oh awesome, let's see some dinosaurs with great documentary dialogue!". But nope. This movie is CURSED! It's litereally cursed! What were the filmmakers thinking? I totally agree with critics here. Audience score is probably a bit too high. This movie is just CURSED! I keep saying that but it is. It's CURSED!! So basically, if you haven't seen it. The dinosaurs are well-animated, the world is nicely made but here's the problem. The dinosaurs talk. Not like litereally. They don't move their mouths while talking. It's some dumb people voices over them saying stuff. So let's say the dinosaur had it's mouth closed right? Well the person would be saying something like "I will become the leader no doubt! I will!". They didn't actually say that but you get the idea! It's cursed because they ruined it! The voices are so awful and bad they ruined the movie. This movie is godawful. The animation is really solid and everything else is fine but the voice part completely ruined this movie. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Yeah nobody should watch it. It's cursed. So don't watch it. Unless you want to see the horrifying mess. So yeah, that's my take on it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
