What's the Story?
In ARMORSAURS, the United States military has developed a super secret program that has brought dinosaurs back to life. These dinosaurs are charged with protecting the planet from an alien war that has come to Earth. Lieutenant Colonel Jessalyn Helmsworth (Yvonne Chapman) and scientist Dr. Chandler (Andrew Russel) have invented armor to protect the dinos and their riders in battle, but they have a big problem: they need people to pilot the armorsaurs. They recruit five teenagers who posses the 'avian anomaly' gene which allows them to communicate with birds and, they hope, dinosaurs. Joon (Derrick Kwak), Liam (Jailen Bates), T.J. (Jacob Makabi), and sister Paloma (Avianna Mynheir) and Prisca (Sade Louise) must form a bond with one of the dinosaurs and learn how to pilot the dino armor and use their armored bodysuits. The fate of the world is in the hands of these unlikely teenaged superheroes.
Is It Any Good?
Armorsaurs has super cool vehicles, armored suits, gadgets, dinosaurs, and teenaged superheroes charging into battle. Kids into any of those themes will be enamored with this show. Grown-ups will notice the so-so writing, acting, and lack of overall themes or messages. Millennial parents will immediately recognize the parallels to the Power Rangers: twenty-something actors playing teens who wear color-coded superhero suits, mechanized dinosaurs, and teenagers engaged in fantasy violence. Like Power Rangers repurposed footage from a popular Japanese show, Armorsaurs borrows some animated sequences from the South Korean series it's based on. With all the cool mechanized dinosaurs and superhero suits, grown-ups will also not be surprised to know that MGA Entertainment (the toy company behind L.O.L. Dolls, Bratz Dolls and more) is the creative force behind the show. The world of Armorsaurs is super fun, but there's not a lot of substance behind it.
