I went into the movie thinking that it would be a little too childish
for me. But it was much better than I expected. What really drives the
movie are the interactions between the two main characters and the
amazing visuals.
The story is a bit lackluster, which is the main downfall for the
movie. It is predictable and pretty simple and unoriginal. But the
interactions between the dinosaur and boy are amazing and genuine. They
hit the comedy right, and do an exceptional job at the drama. Though
the uninspired story holds it back a bit, the strong characters make up
for it.
The visuals are stunning. It almost feels like they made the movie just
to show off the scenery, effects, and animation. It really is top
quality.
Music is fitting, though no particular track stuck out to me. The focus
was more on the characters, and the music simply reinforced it.
