Caught 15 minutes of Dinosaur Island on Fox Family Movies before going to sleep and found myself watching it to the very end. While the movie concept is as mediocre as those of all other dinosaur movies, this one has a script by an intelligent writer. The creatures and special effects are not only imaginative, they are convincing as well, especially since painstaking efforts were made to achieve perfectly-matched and apparently-casual, day lighting. I appreciated them more than I did the creatures and special effects in Avatar, which were screaming too loudly, "Yoo-hoo! Have you seen the likes of us before?".
