Once again, technology is at the service of a precise script that revolves around family and friends... [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | May 28, 2024

It’s a completely unnecessary sequel so unbearably unimaginative that it feels like a tired obligation being fulfilled by the begrudging talent to appease a studio’s need for sequel marketability.

An engaging third instalment in the hit series of animated comedies about a group of oddball prehistoric creatures.

Scrat is the only character who's remotely entertaining.

While this latest Ice Age doesn't necessarily up the ante, this franchise is a very user-friendly one and a welcome sight for frazzled parents everywhere.

"Dinosaurs" really doesn't break much ground when it comes to animation or storytelling, but I found this installment much easier to take than the previous two.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | May 16, 2019

The third part of the Ice Age saga suffers from franchise fatigue—the critters, most of whom we are familiar with from the past couple of films, and some that have been added in, don’t really get to do much that’s fresh and new.

The coolest thing about this sequel is the use of dinosaurs.

An improvement over its massively forgettable predecessor.

When the story does get underway, the incident that sets it into motion seems thrown in%u2014precisely what you'd expect for the third installment in a series that was already tired by the second.

Scrat-astic!

I'm mystified by those who find these characters appealing.

Full Review | Original Score: 68/100 | Nov 6, 2009

The quality of the stories has gradually declined in each succeeding sequel since the original film was released in 2002, but the technical quality of computer animation has improved during that same time.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs works on its own terms, as a distraction for the children and an inoffensive, if unfulfilling, time at the theater for their parents.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 30, 2009

The manic pace quickly grows tiresome, as does the influx of cloying baby animals.

Those who complain about the feeble jokes and contrived situations should be forced to watch the first two films and defend them.

It is not the year for pre-historic comebacks.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 3, 2009

There's not much for audiences over the age of 10 to warm to during this third, and hopefully final, Ice Age.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 30, 2009

A baby's on the way, a new acquaintance adds to the fun/confusion, and some old friends are back.
