OK I admit, the plot was preposterous (wooly Mammoths and Sabre-toothed Tigers did NOT coexist with dinosaurs. But, the movie is a hoot, in the same sense that the old Wile-Coyote/Road-Runner cartoons were a hoot. The 3D is wonderful (tho sit closer to the screen than you usually do for maximum 3-D effect).
Don't expect a Disney-like morality story. The movie doesn't solve global warming, worry about endangered species or anything like that. The IS no lesson, here. It's just non-stop action with an emphasis on non-stop harrowing events made more fun with 3-D
Part of the beauty of this movie is that it does NOT preach. The reviews I have read seem uncomfortable with this. But does EVERY cartoon have to make some sort of social statement?
Sit back and enjoy the fun, and pay no attention to the often critical reviews. The animation is stunning in 3-D
WAY better than "Up" in my view.
