Dinosaur: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.
“Straight to the compost bin.”

The cinematography in Dinosaur is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Dinosaur. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Dinosaur actually is?
Director clearly thought Dinosaur was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Dinosaur?
Just got out of Dinosaur and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Dinosaur?
Rewatched Dinosaur last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
