Leonard seems confused about his mission: amusement-park ride or educational film? He tries for a little of each and ends up with a hodgepodge.

T-Rex may be dumbed-down science and indirect educational material, but there is a lot going on in this 45-minute movie. And it isn't ever boring.

The tepid story line sinks this 45-minute, big-screen film right into the tar pits.

It represents the pinnacle, so far, of 3-D filmmaking, and even apart from the technology, it's a very watchable little movie.

The Imax 3-D format continues to evolve toward narrative maturity, without bothering to ask whether viewers want it to.

Has a pleasant narrative that's impressively elevated by the IMAX 3-D process.

The film is the sort likely to whet active young minds to know more about the past.

Jurassic Park it's not, but IMAX's T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous is still a pretty awesome experience.

Instead of giving its eponymous protagonist center stage to strut and fret and sit in the audience's laps, it spends its best energy throwing a watered-down, imitation-Spielberg story in your face.
