dang, this movie is lame-ass

I rented Dinotopia, because I'm on a David Thewlis kick at the moment, and it's pretty, well, lame-ass. I'm still in the middle of watching it. It's about these two guys who can't act for crap whose plane crashes into the ocean with their father trapped inside and they wash up on this island with dinosaurs. I just know the dad's going to be OK in the end, despite the fact that he was trapped in this sinking plane full of water and, apparently, got eaten by one of those really long archaic whale things. I can tolerate the sub-par CGI; it's about the level of Hercules: the Legendary Journeys, which was really pretty OK for a TV show.

But all the characters' reactions to everything are totally unrealistic. It's like this:
"Hey, our dad is... er, missing. Not dead. Or something"
"Yeah, that sucks. Hey, there's a dinosaur."
"That's weird."

( ok, it's getting long. click for nerdy ranting about dinosaurs )

Alright, I guess I'll watch the rest of the movie now.

( no, I changed my mind. I'm going to make fun of it as I go along. )
