Don't watch it alone, with friends, or even in school. Overall this series is just a fail and should never be seen by anyone. Adults would be bored and lose interest with this series half way through the first episode. The bulk of the story is confusing dialog and some of the worst acting I have ever seen. Kids could like dinosaurs but we hardly see any action sequences.

I don't know what audience the director was going for either. This was originally a novel and i can only hope that the novel is better. The story gets way out of line and to crazy to even follow. There is also a dinosaur who wants to explore 'the world beneath.' I'm not even sure how to describe it any further. There is an archaeologist who searches for them and the truth as well. Really, that's the best the director could come up with? There are also these things called sunstones and they are of some importance, I still don't even know. There is a dinosaur language that humans learned and can write down in the form of footprints. Then we discover dinosaurs have their own language and some even speak English. The brothers arrive in Waterfall City and find out they can't leave, predictable but I went with it. Not only is the acting bad but the story eventually made no sense at all. All this series brought was disappointment and made me want to rant about it. I hoped it would get better but it never did. I finished watching this series because I remember loving it as a kid and I always wanted to see it again. I would have been OK with that if the acting wasn't so hard to watch. There is a greedy researcher who appears to be good but is clearly evil and has bad intentions. Of course the girl is of royalty and importance, and obviously she doesn't want to be important, she just wants to be normal. Then they both meet a woman that they are attracted to which causes more conflict. One brother would do anything to go home while the other would rather stay, causing conflict. Each episode is about an hour and a half, but they all feel like three hours of pain and torture. This story had so much potential to be great, but the terrible acting and awful special effects made this series pure garbage. Watching it a second time almost ten years later, I was highly disappointed. This is a miniseries and I remember watching it as a young kid and I was amazed. They find an explorer and he brings them into a complicated world of complexity. The brothers, David and Karl, want to find their missing farther and escape the island.

Dinotopia is about two brothers who crash on an island that is has humans and dinosaurs living peacefully. After Jurassic Park you would think dinosaurs would look better in TV and movies, unfortunately Dinotopia couldn't raise the bar.
