The movie is unique in it's story and the treatment that has been given to it. The special effects and animations that have been given to the dinosaurs are path-breaking considering the time-frame when the movie was made. Although the story could be a little off-beaten and not too conventional, it is still an exceptional and gripping movie to enjoy.
