Jurassic Pet : L'Odyssée d'Albert

I noticed a lot of Oklahoma films have this guy Lisandro Boccacci, he's everywhere and in everything, an Oklahoma filmmaker should give him a chance as a lead, that would be awesome to see!

Bear with me here, because I only watched this once while I was babysitting and I zoned out and almost fell asleep. also, I haven't watched it since. the idea is interesting, it could make a very good story if handled correctly. the problem here? it was not handled correctly. low budget does not mix with CGI, particularly CGI dinosaurs. I also understand that yes, this is a film for children, but children growing up on movies like Jurassic Park and Jurassic World will not be impressed by the CGI here. trust me: remember how I told you I watched this while babysitting? exactly the point. the kid I was watching was much less unimpressed, but still not enthused by the story. of course, lousy writing will affect older audiences like me more than them, but it's still an important issue to hit. however, I will say that the acting from our lead actor, Kyler Beck, was surprisingly good and I expect he'll be landing roles in bigger projects as time goes on. we'll see if this goes anywhere for him, but there's definitely some potential and talent there that casting agents should (and most likely will) see and utilise to their advantage. worth the watch if you have a younger kid, just make sure they haven't seen any Jurassic Park movies first.

"The Adventures of Jurassic Pet" is one of those types of movies, where you can find in a video store for a very cheap price and if you are one of those people, who already watched the movie - your immediate reaction is to hide it somewhere, so that nobody can buy it or rent it, because of how bad it truly is and you can tell what the experience would be by looking at the cover of the DVD. There's nothing else that i need to add and for that it completely deserves the rating that it's going to get from me and it's a 2.1/10.

To be honest, i liked the film when I had seen it in the cinema of my country (Ecuador). What I've realized is that we need to create a better dynamic in the story between the friendship between teenager Chris and his dinosaur Albert (who is an Albertosaurus), the cgi animation was nice however they need to improve Albert's movements and contours to make him look as realistic as in Jurassic World... Simply was a good story but no so bad, just regular and interesting to watch it.

It's interesting that Boiling Point Media did a nice job in this film where their team love dinosaurs as well like us.

I got this for my kids aged 12, 10, 8 and 4, and it didn't strike a chord with any of them. The script was lousy and old fashioned and cgi was lame - kids are very aware of bad cgi because they watch great stuff by major studios, so when low budget stuff comes out, they don't buy it. That aside, there just wasn't enough real drama or tension to keep them interested. To be honest it may have been better if it had gone more down the fantasy route in a committed way- the faux realism in this case became the egg that just didn't hatch.
