Don't waste your time

Warning: Spoilers
If you have little kids, it might occupy them for a while.

But if you've spent any time at all with the books, you're going to just get more and more annoyed with the inaccuracies and mistakes as the movie goes on.

-Ogthar, the villain, was an ancient mythical half human, half saurian king of the sunken island of Poseidos in The World Beneath but is used as a human villain here, a cross between Roff Striker from First Flight and Lee Crabb from the original book.

-using dinosaurs as Ogthar's cronies was just wrong, some humans, like Crabb, aren't as happy on the island, but it's not likely at all you'd see saurians like that.

They've got quadrapeds walking on hindlegs, which you KNOW is wrong -the hatcheries are way off but that's only the Miniseries' fault -the Skybax was pretty accurate but they're annoying having a scene with the hatchery girl's dad riding one, the books state that "None but the rider dares approach it" *ends rant* I just can't help the annoyance being such a big Dintopia fan. I just wish someone would make a film that's keeping with the books and quit changing so much.
