But with Dinotopia, the CGI is actually pretty darn good! Considering when it was made, I’m surprised that the effects are as good as they are. Heck, on other channels for other shows, the effects are so vomit-inducing that you’d think the strings and puppets from 60’s scifi movies were more convincing. Obviously it’s not going to be as good as TV’s standards in 2016… but I have seen some unbearably awful CGI on the Syfy Channel these days. He was always my favorite part, even if he may have been kind of annoying at times.īeing a television series from 2002 (made by Hallmark, no less), you probably wouldn’t expect the special effects to be very good at all. The dinosaur companion of the group, Zipeau, is basically… a dinosaur version of C-3PO, if he was more obsessive over books and studying mammals. She’s got more responsibility on her shoulders and constantly tries to prove herself to be a capable leader. The closest friend to the brothers, Marion, is a bit more interesting. But as the series goes on, he starts getting more likable. He was downright mean at certain points, and it just didn’t seem like he was written well enough for his actions to make sense. Karl, on the other hand, is a lot of times too resistant to learning the ways of Dinotopia, and the character’s motives for acting how he did weren’t ever clearly given. Although, if I found out that I was on a dinosaur island and had no possible way of leaving, I think I’d try to adapt the best I could as well. David sometimes seems almost too willing to accept the way life is in the land. The dynamic between the brothers David and Karl and how they deal with their new life in Dinotopia is a bit cliche’d at times. The characters are only decently written.
