Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

The only way I can tell you about this film, is that I really love it! The movie has solid animation, great characters, and plenty of action & comedy! In my opinion, it is the best out of the Ice Age Trilogy. I especially love the one eyed weasel Buck (Simon Pegg) and the Tyrannosaur family, who adopt Sid as one of their own. I have written out the plot below, but be warned, it contains spoilers! Ellie (Queen Latifah) and Manny (Ray Romano) are expecting their first child, and Manny is obsessed with making life perfect and safe for the family, since his first experiences as a husband and father went bad when his family was killed by hunters. At the same time, Diego (Denis Leary) finds himself unable to catch a cocky gazelle (Bill Hader) he has been stalking and decides to leave the herd, believing that he is losing his predatory nature as a tiger. Sid (John Leguizamo) grows jealous of Manny and Ellie and "adopts" three apparently abandoned eggs that he finds in an icy underground cavern and call them Eggbert, Shelly, and Yoko. Manny tells him to put them back, but Sid instead looks after the eggs, which hatch into baby Tyrannosaurus the next morning. Although Sid tries his best to raise the three dinosaurs, their rambunctious behavior scares away all the other animals' young and ruins a playground Manny built for Ellie's baby. A female Tyrannosaurus, Momma, whose eggs Sid stole, soon returns and carries both Sid and her young underground, with Diego in pursuit. Manny, Ellie, Crash, and Eddie (Seann William Scott, Josh Peck) follow as well and discover that the icy cavern leads to a vast jungle populated by dinosaurs thought to be extinct. Here, an Ankylosaurus threatens the herd despite Diego's efforts to fend it off; they are saved from a further crowd of angry reptiles by an insane, one-eyed weasel named Buckminster, or Buck (Simon Pegg). Buck has been living in this jungle for some time and is chasing Rudy (a huge albino Baryonyx), intending to avenge the eye he lost to it. He agrees to lead the herd through the jungle's perils to Lava Falls, where Momma has taken Sid and her babies. In the meantime, Sid and Momma try to outdo each other in feeding the offspring; he loses this contest, but is soon welcomed into the family regardless. The next day, however, Sid is separated from the family and attacked by Rudy. Sid is knocked onto a loose rock slab that is floating on a river of lava and about to plummet over the falls. As the herd moves toward Lava Falls, Ellie goes into labor and a Guanlong pack strikes, causing a rock slide that separates her from Manny and Diego. Manny doubles back to protect her and Diego fends off further attacks, while Buck takes Crash and Eddie ahead to rescue Sid. Just as he goes over the falls, the trio swoops in on a commandeered Pteranodon only to been chased by a flock of Quetzalcoatlus on the way and saves his life. Manny reaches Ellie, and there is suddenly a reaction, the cry of a newborn baby, then he sees that it is a girl. He wants to name her Ellie, or Little Ellie, but Ellie instead names her Peaches after the fruit (and the codeword they had chosen for Ellie to use if she went into labor during the trip). Sid is saddened at the fact that he never had a chance to say goodbye to "his" children as he returns to the herd and learns of Peaches' birth. Before they can exit the jungle, Rudy attacks at full force; Buck lures Rudy away from the group and is nearly eaten himself, before Diego saves him at the last second. They then ensnare him briefly, but he escapes and resumes his onslaught. The herd is saved by the timely arrival of Momma, who charges at Rudy and knocks him off a cliff before roaring her victory. As she and her children wish Sid well, Buck - now without a purpose in life since Rudy is gone - decides to join the herd and live on the surface. However, a distant roar tells him that Rudy is still alive; he changes his mind and sends the herd home, blocking off the path to the underground jungle at the same time so that no one else can go down there. Manny and Ellie welcome Peaches into their frozen world and admit that Sid did a good job looking after Momma's children (though Manny tells Diego that he will never let Sid babysit Peaches). Diego decides to remain with the herd, while Buck stays where he wants to be: underground, battling it out with Rudy. The storyline is great, the characters are awesome, and the pace of the film is very fast. Basically, it is a film that you shouldn't miss out on. So far, its the best animated film of 2009 (that I've seen). My advice, buy this DVD. It's a great movie that is sure to please both young and old alike. So, what are you waiting for? It's time to go prehistoric with Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs!

My granddaughter really enjoyed this

Great

Fun movie we love cartoons never outgrew them

so hilarious

So...purchasing this rather than renting was a fantastic idea! The purchase price was the same as about 2 or 3 rentals, and by now my son has watched it easily a dozen times in a couple weeks -- so obviously he loves it. For the adults, it's a good movie, but not great. Appealing characters, some funny moments, and no matter how implausible, the premise of dinosaurs mixing with mammoths is kind of fun. But it's a little thin on logic and the dialogue is sometimes pretty cliched. So if your family only has enough money to buy one movie this year...go buy Wreck It Ralph or Night at the Museum 2: Battle for the Smithsonian, both of which provide far more entertainment for both the kids and grown ups. But as a movie for kids, Ice Age DoD is great.

You cant not like ice age

Pelicula entretenida buena para la familia

Ice Age 1: Sehr gut; Ice Age 2: Gut, Ice Age 3: Super. Erwartet hate ich einen guten Animationsfilm zum Schmunzeln, nachdem ich von Ice Age 2 nicht so begeistert war. Doch was ich in Ice Age 3 zu sehen bekam, hat mich völlig umgehauen. Die Effekte sind ein riesiger Sprung gegenüber den ersten beiden Teilen, die Animationen und Soundeffekte haben mir vor Freude die Tränen in die Augen getrieben. Ein Brüller nach dem Anderen. Es kam bisher selten vor, dass mich ein Film so super über die volle Länge unterhalten hat. Es gab keine Durchhänger und auch der Film war länger als erwartet. Echt klasse! Hier wurde mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail gearbeitet. Auch die Synchronisation war tadellos. Kritikpunkte? Manch wenige Gags waren leicht albern, aber sonst? Allerdings habe ich noch zur Blue Ray kritische Worte. Das Cover von Ice Age 3 ist wunderbar gelungen, aber anstatt auf der Rückseite aussagekräftige, schöne Bilder AUS dem Film abzubilden, sieht man nur hässliche Bilder aus den Extras. Nervig. Blue Ray Bild auf dem Plasma Panasonic Tx P42 U 10 E mit der PS3 Slim Version 3.0, Overscan aus, IFC aus, Full HD, Vivanco HDMI Kabel Die Schärfe ist perfekt und ohne Schlieren, allerdings zeigt sich in Weitwinkelaufnahmen teils flackern auf weißen Stellen, die den positiven Gesamteindruck schmälern. Ob das an meinen Einstellungen liegt oder nicht, weiß ich nicht. Auch bei Transformers 2 habe ich teils flackern festgestellt, z.B. bei Szenen mit Nebel oder Hitzflimmern. Bei The Dark Knight hatte ich in keiner Szene solch ein Problem, was aber auch der fast ständigen Dunkelheit im Film liegen könnte. Wer ähnliche Beobachtungen gemacht hat oder du Grund dafür kennt, soll einen Kommentar hinzufügen. Fazit: Brilliante Komödie mit sehr guten Animationen, die den Vorgänger locker in die Tasche steckt. Bild: 09/10 Fast perfekt, aber teils flackern von weißen Flächen im Weitwinkel. Ton: 9/10 Sehr gute Synchronisation, tolle und süße Soundeffekte. Story: 7/10 Aufbruch zur Rettung eines Freundes. Gut. Computereffekte: 9/10. Großer Sprung zum zweitem Teil. Detailreich, liebevoll, viele WOW-Effekte. Humor: 9/10 Tränen gelacht. Action: 8/10 Langweilig wirds fast nie. Spannung: 4/10 Vielleicht für Kinder spannend.

Excellent video and audio quality English and Hindi audio

Test effectué le 7 septembre 2011 sur videoprojecteur JVC DLA X3 3D JVC Vidéoprojecteurs DLA-X3 Blanc , écran lumene 2.70 m diagonale, ensemble 5.1 Bowers & Wilking, double subwoofer Velodine CHT -10 Q, platine Blue Ray 3D Pioneer BDP - LX54. 3eme opus de la saga "L'age de glace" aussi "givré" que le 2eme opus, en y ajoutant une dimension "Monde Perdu" et "Jurassic Park" des plus réjouissantes. Des gags en rafales ininterrompues - notamment les amours contrariées de Scrtach l'écureil - et des scènes d'action qui plantent là toutes les productions précédentes. L'antithèse du temps mort. Le remède absolu à la morosité. Une vraie réussite pour les 0 - 99 ans. La version blue Ray 3D mérite-t-elle pour autant l'investissement ? OUI ! OUI ! RE-OUI ! Cette éditon repousse les limites déjà passablement élevées de "Volt star malgré lui" Volt - Combo Blu-ray + DVD [Blu-ray ] et de Raiponce Raiponce - Combo Blu-ray 3D active + Blu-ray 2D + copie digitale [Blu-ray ]. Le rendu des texture est tout simplement stupéfiant. La toison des mamouths en particulier est duveteuse, pelucheuse, donnant une irrésitible envie d'y plonger les mains. Les pelages, les écailles sont rendus avec un luxe de détails lumineux et de textures qui ringardisent sérieusement King Kong. Les parois rocheuses, les végétations denses et obscures (décidément le mieux adaptées à la 3D, J. Cameron l'a bien compris...), les surfaces glacées : tout déborde de l'écran. Le regard ricoche sur les différents plans harmonieusement disposés, procurant une agréable profondeur de champs. Le divertissement n'empêche pas le talent esthétique, la preuve. Utilisation optimale de la 3D hyper exploitée dans les incessantes scènes d'action. Mention spéciale pour la plus belle séquence 3D aujourd'hui sur le marché : la bataille aérienne finale à dos de Ptérodactyles entre jungle, canyons et torrents de lave : Mieux que Space Mountain, vertigineux et d'une lisibilité optimale. La bataille d'Angleterre à l'ère primaire. Chapeau ! Il fallait oser. La bande-son explose les compteurs, parfaitement calée sur l'action, justement dosé. Du bonheur. Entre fou rire et émerveillement vous allez devenir accros. Si vous n'avez pas la 3D, courrez, courrez vite. Il n'y en aura pas pour tout le monde.

Muchas veces tenemos que recurrir a comprar el cine importado de otros paises pero esto se soluciona gratamente con las productoras que meten varios idiomas en la propia película. Posibilidad de verlo en Castellano Dolby 5.1, aunque en Ingles e Italiano esta en DTS 7.1, pero muy bien grabada y producida, con una nitidez supina y el sonido perfecto, tambien incluye los subtitulos en castellano como posibilidad de verla en V.O. Me valió 16 Euros y tre la versión en 3D la version normal , el DVD y una copia que te la bajas de la pagina de 20thfox al Pc con un código que viene dentro. La edición que mandan es la lujo con una funda de la caratula en papel brillante resaltando el propio dibujo de la portada. Recomendado y muy buena saga.

C'étaient mes enfants qui adoraient la série, maintenant je la regarde avec mes PETITS-enfants. Ils aiment autant ...
