Download Ice Age - Dawn Of The Dinosaurs Movie

By Mike Tyson

There is always a 'curse' hanging over a sequel. They are usually duds at the box-office. But Ice Age movie seems to have broken the tradition. The animation is awe inspiring and a plethora of new characters. Now the directors in Hollywood will be more enthusiastic to bring out other sequels too. Ice Age is primarily a flick for the kids but the adults can enjoy it too.

The original star cast is retained - Manny (Ray Romano), Diego (Denis Leary), Ellie (Queen Latifah) and the lovable Sid (John Leguizamo). The third edition creates a spring feeling with love blossoming all around. This is a departure from the earlier episode where snows, ice and glacial meltdowns formed the backdrop of the movie. We find Manny pre-occupied with Ellie who is expecting their first baby. Diego - the sharp toothed tiger and Sid - the bumbling sloth getting very upset about the developments. Both of them feel that Manny is ignoring them. A despondent Diego decides to leave and Sid plans to start his own family.

Sid is plagued by yet another problem. He is unable to find a she-sloth to reside with. He comes across three abandoned eggs and at once decides to raise them as his own oblivious of the fact that these eggs belonged to a mother T-Rex. The babies hatch from the eggs shortly and within hours they began to exhibit their carnivorous instincts. The mother arrives shortly and grabs Sid and the babies by the nape of their necks and takes them to an underground world. The place is inhabited by dinosaurs, man-eating plants and a weasel called Buck.

The sequences that follow are predictable. Manny and other others run to save Sid. They enter the underground world which looks like a primitive rainforest. I guess the animators have a whale of a time here. The screen is filled with vibrant colors, lots of cuddly creatures, one-liners etc apart from the familiar scenes of balancing rocks and snow slides from the earlier versions of Ice Age movie.

In case you are wondering, the film has not forgotten Scrat the squirrel who is all the more energized to run after the elusive acorn. But this time he has a rival! A female squirrel, scratte, offers a romantic angle to the quest.

The animation detailing in Ice Age 3 will leave you spell bound. The colors, the character profiling and the comic scenes are so well depicted that you will have a hard time to even go for a drink in the middle of the movie. The mammoth looks awesome on the screen but the animated dinosaurs made us fell disappointed. They look fake but we have decided to ignore this little glitch.

The best thing about the latest Ice Age is that the comedy and the actions scenes are beautifully done with loads of fun elements thrown in. Towards the end of the film have real hilarious moments. But we are not revealing it. Just go and buy a DVD copy or better watch Ice Age Online free. This is a movie you should never miss. - 30302
