Review: Alpha and Omega: Dino Digs DVD

Alpha and Omega: Dino Digs is a DTV short film (clocking in at only 45-minutes) that was made for kids and kids only. The animation was, most of the time, laughable and looked cheap as heck. Beyond that, the material wasn’t funny.

VIDEO – 3.0/5 | AUDIO – 3.25/5

Lionsgate releases Alpha and Omega: Dino Digs onto DVD presented with an anamorphic widescreen transfer (1.78 aspect ratio) and although colors are OK, there’s a fair amount of banding and some artifacts. The Dolby Digital 5.1 track isn’t anything amazing but adequate enough.

 

OVERALL – 1.0/5

Overall, Alpha and Omega: Dino Digs is a DTV short film (clocking in at only 45-minutes) that was made for kids and kids only. The animation was, most of the time, laughable and looked cheap as heck. Beyond that, the material wasn’t funny. The DVD release is basic with no features and so-so video and audio transfers.
