`T-Rex Back to the Cretaceous' on 3D IMAX offers a chance to see dinosaurs in their awesome glory
|
A visual treat
Watching T-Rex Back to the Cretaceous on 3D IMAX made one think of 6-year-old Calvin and how he much he would have enjoyed describing it to his trusty tiger friend Hobbes.
While the technology is faultless and the wicked Tyrannosaurus Rex drools and leers right at you - you almost feel you could rub its scaly snout, the movie is charming for the story it tells as well.
There is young Ally, daughter of eminent palaeontologist Dr Donald Hayden who is busy at digs and does not realise his daughter is as fascinated with these denizens of the Palaeolithic era as he is.
Ally visits her father at work and by mistake disturbs a very special fossilised egg which causes Ally to go right back into the Mesozoic age.
Ally gets a chance to prove her theory of parental instinct among dinosaurs as well as interact with Barnum Brown whose digs earned him renown in the early part of the twentieth century and renowned dinosaur artist Charles Knight.
The film, directed by Brett Leonard, was shot on location at the Dinosaur Provincial Park in Canada and the Olympia rain forest region in Washington. The filmmakers collaborated with renowned palaeontologist Dr. Philip Currie.
This is a movie that is not overwhelmed by the technology rather it uses scientific advances to tell the story in a more dramatic fashion.
