Modern Stone Age Family Falls Shy of Expectations

Rating: 4/10 (17 February 2014)

A different take on the "modern stone age family". A stay-in-the-safety-of-the-cave family, the last of the cavemen, are forced to abandon familiar surroundings when the end of their world begins (Pangea breaking into continents). I feel this is one of the films that put the majority of the good parts in the trailer. It's not very original, the voice cast is a bit meh, the pacing is so-so, and though it has it's moments, it's really not that fun, or at least not the fun I've come to expect from DreamWorks series of animated family films. One of the good parts are the animals they encounter, often prehistoric hybrids of modern times creatures like the Piranhakeets and Mousephants. Fine Saturday afternoon kiddie fare, but falls short of expectations. 4/10
