The drama is divided up into rather lengthy sections. There are some plot twists along the way, some love stories, and a complex villain, played very well by David Thewlis. It is through the interaction with dinosaurs that the brothers each go on a journey of self-discovery and development. One of the lovely conceits of the films is that dinosaurs and humans work with each other in a variety of different ways. I found myself caught up in the magic as the brothers take a ride on a dinosaur bus to Waterfall City. With the exception of a lone tyrannosaurus attack, the story steers clear of the usual dinosaurs instead it showcases some that appear less often in modern films, such as the enormous ankylosaurs, who act as acolytes and guards on the island. As they search for their father, who was with them in a plane that crashed, their differences become exacerbated. The drama is driven along by the fact that the brothers barely know each other, having been brought up by different mothers. You have to make the leap into believing that somehow this island exists - almost undiscovered - as a haven where dinosaurs and humans co-exist. There is a strong narrative thread, based around two half-brothers, washed up on the shores of the island. There is a richness to the cinematography reminiscent of the film Babe, making it super-real, and the special effects add a layer of beauty to the film, rather than being a distraction. Has about the same credibility as an Uwe Bowle movie.I found this to be absolutely enchanting. As for what the movie's messages are nothing you couldn't find by watching an hour and a half on ABC Family channel.

This is an incredible story, would someone, please anyone in Hollywood do a remake of this film in the proper fashion. None of the characters are the same, very, VERY basic plot events are kept in the movie.

Wonderfully written, amazingly illustrated, and somewhat of a weight-room for the young imagination. As a kid my mom used to read me and my brother the Dinotopia books.

However, there are so many points in the series that you wonder 'Why are they doing that? Just keep going, or why would they have this if there are dinosaurs?' For people who can think and reason, this will frustrate you to no end. The graphics aren't.horrible, for the budget this movie was shot on they're OK. The acting by the two main characters is atrocious, putting about as much emotion and empathy in the lines as a junior high play. The script is horrible, some of the worst dialogue you'll ever bear witness to. Or if you were a fan of the original books then you'll probably want to see how the miniseries does it justice. If there is a rainy day and you just happen to find nothing else on TV this might be worth watching.
