My take on the Summer Blockbusters

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Director: Carlos Saldanha
Co-director: Mike Thurmeier
Theatre visits: 2
What's it about: Rifts form in the unlikely gang of the mammoth, the sabretooth cat and the sloth. Diego and Sid part ways with Manfred as he has got his own family now. Sid wanders off into a treacherous prehistoric world under the ground and the rest follow to save him. A smooth talking-crazy weasel named Buck who inhabits the same place joins them in the rescue mission.
Whistles: Laugh riot all the way, thrice the fun and humour, action-packed (I can’t believe I just said that. But it has so much of action), the new entry – Buck (a mix of Jack Sparrow and Tarzan), amazing detail in animation, Scrat (how could we forget him!) and She-Scrat
Boos: Nothing much to boo. Some may argue that it doesn’t have the soul of the first movie. The statement is right. But doesn’t really matter if you are in the mood to watch a fun flick.
A big boooooo for making it the last movie of the series. We can’t get enough of the unlikely gang. Can we have one more?
Verdict: Watch it and when it comes out on DVD, own it. It’s a sure go for kids and kids at heart.
Sequel Suggestions: Please…please…please…make one. Bring in Buck too. Not as part of the family, but as the 911 emergency response for the gang synonymous with trouble.
