Enjoyable romp among the dinosaurs, 16 March 2006
8/10
Author: haz22 from United Kingdom

OK, don't go to see this film if you are of the serious, straight-laced, humourless kind. If you are the sort likely to complain about human not co-existing with dinosaurs, this is not your kind of film. This is the sort of film best enjoyed leaving your brain behind - the plot is stupid, the acting practically non-existent, but hey, what an enjoyable romp it is. Raquel Welch is simply unsurpassed as a cave-woman in her best caveman-designed swimsuit. And whatever that may be said about it, the animation of the dinosaurs still looks good. So go gasp at the giant turtle, be amazed at the battle between the dinosaurs, cheer at the cat-fight between the cave-women.

Have a fun time.
