Story: Spotty has two missions to accomplish: A whole new world to explore and a big, bad guy to avenge. Just one problem: He is just about a year old... and growing!
Movie Review: First, what works for Tarbosaurus 3D: Dinosaurs, dinosaurs and more dinosaurs. After all we are talking about the tarbosaurus that lived some 80 million years ago.
So what follows scene after scene is one dinosaur fighting the other... many dinosaurs hunting down a helpless prey. Surely an attention grabber... in 3D! Next is the desert landscape, all high and dry, captured pretty well... again in 3D.
In fact, the parched landscape has all dinosaurs (and perhaps the viewers alike) wanting to shift to green paradise ASAP. But then struggle for survival has never really been that easy, at least for our little hero, Spotty, (named after all those cute li'l spots on his face). But before that he sees his folks die before his eyes...as he is left alone to deal with the bullies of the jungle.
Enough for the EQ (emotional quotient). Not to miss out are the cute moments when Spotty is seen discovering a whole new world: quick sand for him is like the invisible giant; mammals giving birth rather than laying eggs like his species is wonder-stuff for him; falling for the blue-eyed Tarbosaurus is the best thing that could ever happen to him.
Now for what plays spoilsport: Undoubtedly it's the introduction of the varied creatures (their traits, their breeding habits, their food preferences, hunting styles) that once existed on planet Earth -- Velociraptors, Tylosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Grenausarus, Ankylosaurus. Sometimes these even pop up in the middle of scenes that matter.
But then all loopholes are taken care of when Spotty puts on a brave front to battle the big, bad Torosausrus -- One Eye. That's when the message is loud and clear: Never give up.
