Dinotopia

Movie: Dinotopia (2002)
Watched with: Angelo and John

I didn't expect this to be very good, and it wasn't (it's four hours long, and we stopped it after 2 and a half and forgot to finish it). But I liked the book and I was curious, and it actually turned out to be pretty entertaining.

The acting and dialogue were atrocious (say the following in a mumbly deadpan: "Eat or be eaten. Kill or be killed. It's the law of the jungle") but in a pretty amusing way, and the art direction (strongly influenced by the book's striking visuals) was good.

And dinosaurs are always fun.

Not great, but I have no regrets.
