‘Tarbosaurus’,
the film, revolves around the rivalry between two types of dinosaurs,
Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus. The story is about the coming-of-age of the
young Tarbosaurus, Spot, who is exploring the perfect paradise, but the horrific
Tyrannosaurus, One-eye, comes in his way all the time.
There are so many reasons why you shouldn’t
watch the film – clichéd plot, annoying voiceover, amateurish CGI and a mundane
screenplay.
Millions of years ago, when the world was
inhabited by dinosaurs, rivalry between Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus was quite
the norm. Spot/Speckles, the youngest of the Tarbosaurus
family, witnesses the cunning One-eye, the vociferous Tyrannosaurus, kill all
of his family members. One-eye wreaks havoc all over the Kingdom annihilating
one dinosaur after the other. Spot/Speckles, meanwhile, is slowly growing up, preparing
to avenge the death of his family. Spot has a one-off duel with One-eye, where
he manages he overpower him. He then meets Blue-eyes, a female Tarbosaur, and
both of them hunt for food together. Both of them are leading comfortable lives
along with their children, until One-eye returns.
This story will test your IQ, undoubtedly. In
addition, there are lines like ‘Isn’t it exciting?’, ‘Isn’t it fascinating?’
which do nothing but rub salt in your wounds. The writing of the film is abysmal. Be it
the dialogues, the story or even the opening scene, the monologue at the end,
the characterization, everything is just too amateurish. The CGI is decent in
some parts, but most of it is just a cut back to the 90s. The film does not
manage to hold your attention.
Writer-director Han Sang-Ho’s attempts to make a
fine ‘dinosaur-themed’ movie for kids do fall short. The kids may enjoy it in
parts, but the film is such a drag that it will even put the toddlers to sleep.
An absolute must-not watch. The voiceover
is so annoying that it won’t even let you sleep in the theatre. (First Posted in MSN)
