PLOT SUMMARY
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Sanna (VICTORIA VETRI) is rescued from ritual sacrifice by Tara (ROBIN HAWDON), a member of a rival tribe. Her survival coincides with the mysterious formation of a new \u201cfire\u201d in the sky: the moon. Sanna\u2019s old tribe blames her for this affront to the sun; Sanaa flees their wrath and Tara follows. Their shared adventures loom as large as the giants who once ruled the earth…<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth<\/em><\/strong> debuts on Blu-ray through Warner\u2019s Archive Collection (MOD) presented with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. Considering this wasn\u2019t a big blockbuster production (albeit in today\u2019s dollars, it did cost around $4 million), this is a good looking video with bright colors, sharp detail and skin tones which appear natural.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track which I found to be serviceable enough providing for clear enough dialogue levels while depth is on the limited side though any sound effects come through that center speaker well enough.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overall, there\u2019s no question When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth<\/em><\/strong> is not a very good movie but even as one trying to ride the coattails of One Million Years B.C.<\/em>, it fails on that level as well. The only plus I found was for the impressive special effects (for its time), only a shame the story and acting wasn\u2019t good and making matters worse, the entire film is done in an entirely made-up, pre-historic language.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
