Horrible

Who ever directed or produced this movie better not be in show business .This started off ok but increasingly got worse plus the ending was so dumb .What happened to all the Dinosours? It made no sense from beginning to end.

Terrible

I have seen bad movies, bad special effects and bad scripts; but without a doubt, this movie is the first in my list of "the worst movies I´ve ever seen". Don´t watch it, it´s a waste of time.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2 ):
Kids say (2 ):

Wow -- unlike other "so bad, they're good" movies such as Sharknado, AGE OF DINOSAURS is just a terrible movie in every way. Any potential menace from the dinosaurs is tempered by how the awful CGI ruins any remote potential of "suspension of disbelief." The premise is flimsy at best, the writing is lousy (and not even funny-lousy), and the ending is unsatisfying. There really is nothing worthwhile about this movie, not even as mindless entertainment.

Perhaps the only good thing that can be said is that most of the actors do the best they can with what little they're given and manage lines such as "Follow that pteranodon! Step on it!" without rolling their eyes and smirking. Still -- and this cannot be stressed enough -- this is a really bad movie and should be avoided at all costs.
