Trivia

The visual of the giant crystals under the volcanoes is inspired by the Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) located in Chihuahua, Mexico. The cave was formed over millions of years by quartz minerals that grew into giant, 20 ft. long crystals inside a water pocket that was later drained by the operations of a salt mine. Temperatures inside can reach 45° Celsius and it is only accessible for a few minutes while wearing special equipment. See more »

Goofs

At around 49:30 into the film, the young boy inspects an American coin. You can't see the date on the coin but the boy says it's from 1797. You can however clearly see that the image on the coin is the Statue of Liberty, which was not completed and dedicated until 1886, almost 100 years later. See more »

Feathered reptiles
2 May 2015 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Journey To Dinosaur Island is an unpretentious kids film with colourful and feathered dinosaurs but a clunky script and under par acting.

Its entertaining and undemanding if watched with an audience of kids as an Australian boy named Lucas who finds himself marooned in a mysterious island with very colourful dinosaurs and finds a girl called Kate who has been on the island seemingly since the 1950s. They try to find a means to escape the island.

This production values are OK, the Australian setting makes the film more novel and at least it has an interesting beginning as Lucas goes one up on his school teacher at class.

The CGI makes this look more like a B picture the special effects are still better than the low grade output from the SyFy channel but you do wonder if visual effects colourist was on acid at the time.
