x3, for TV budget I thought they looked pretty good.

They didn't blend in, especially with the carnosaur. It just stuck out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the planet. Compared to the humans being there, it just seemed like the dinos were CGIed into the scenes. Idk, hard to say, but I'm pretty sure if I watched Jurassic Park, they would look much better and realistic than these dinos.

Finally got to watch the premiere with Fran, we enjoyed it overall.

[spoiler]
My only issue, as others have said, was the son. I got tired of his act pretty quickly. However, it seems like that was his attitude was adjusted after the whole situation was resolved.

We're gonna keep this in the rotation for now.

I 100% disagree with that. Maybe it's your resolution because it looked great on HD. Maybe you just have a bad picture because I've just rewatched the dinos and they look great. What are you viewing it on?

They look a lot better than Dino Dan, which I currently have to watch 2-3 times a day with my 2 yr old :)

HD Via iTunes via 22" monitor. I guess I need to go rewatch it...

But does your monitor and card actually support HD? Does it have HD resolution? I ask this because a lot of people don't know their resolution or they have it playing in something that's not optimized for their system. I'm running a 1050p connection via DVI on my 22" and it looks great. On my 47", it also looks fine.

KingIsaacLinksr · October 02, 2011, 09:29:39 PM

Yes, it does. Card is a Nvidia 460 GTX FTW if you need to look it up.

What's your monitor, the card is only part of the picture.

I meant yes to both, but its a Samsung 22" LCD HDTV with a resolution of 1680x1050.

Like your card, my card has a max of 2560x1600 but my monitor can only get 1680x1050 and it looks fine here.

I'm going to rewatch it in a bit.

I watched the dino bits again...and just something about them visually is throwing me. Its not that they don't look real, its how they sit on the screen. They look like someone stuck them on top of the film and it just doesn't blend that well with the environment. Its odd because I don't often have this problem with modern CGI, but for some reason the dinos just don't look like they belong where they do.

But that's not my only problem, as I said before, not interested in a family drama show.

I thought it was more...

[spoiler]Birds meet Pitch Black. I mean the scene where they rise up had me thinking back to the critters coming out of the ground during pitch black, but I enjoyed it.[/spoiler]
