You begin to get used to the film's pictorial wondrousness -- to take it for granted, even -- and start to realize that the characters and story are exceedingly mundane, unsurprising and pre-programmed.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Rotten
Dinosaur cuts a bland, compliant figure, its narrative and characterizations subservient to splashy feats of CGI legerdemain.
Jessica Winter, Village Voice

One Dinosaur that won't soon be forgotten.
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News

Offers $200 million in special effects and a script worth about 2 cents. Still, that won't bother the picture's target audience.
