r/Dinosaurs on Reddit: What are some good dinosaur movies that AREN'T from the "Jurassic Park/world" of the "Land before time" franchises?
November 21, 2023 -

I often hear people say that most (if not almost all) dinosaur movies are kinda dogshit, exept for the first films of the jp/w and the LBT franchises

(and occasionally,the third Ice Age film and Disney's Dinosaur, tought these are mostly seen as fine,while the first two are what I often hear people call masterpieces unironically)

While I haven't seen a lot of dino movies myself,I have a question,what are some unironically good dino films that aren't from the jp/w or LBT catalouge?It can be any kind of dino-film really

Edit:made a typo in the title (said of instead of or) thanks to autocorrect and didn't realize until after the post was made

3 days ago - Peter Keough of the Boston Phoenix said, "Maybe it's just the Barney hater in me, but I prefer my dinosaurs without dialogue." A. O. Scott, reviewing for The New York Times, praised the opening sequence as "a visual and sonic extravaganza that the rest of the movie never quite lives up to. Those scores of animators and technical advisers have conjured a teeming pre-human world, and the first minutes of the film present it in a swooping, eye-filling panorama."
