Watched this tonight on Prime. The concept is from James F. David’s “Footprints of Thunder” book (and the rest of the Thunder Series). For years this was my favorite genre of books - mixing people with dinosaurs through time travel or cosmic events. All of the books were better than this movie. 
It was entertaining because…well…dinosaurs. But I expected more from J.J. Abrams since Lost is my all time favorite show. Dialogue and situations were ridiculous. If only Hollywood would learn how to adapt books but stick to the books.

Watched this a couple nights ago. I liked it, even though it wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. I echo some of the comments in here about priorities with characters and dumb actions.
And yeah, EM's character was completely emasculated for most of the movie. I agree with whoever said that the simple fact that he never drove and AH did drove me crazy. And that's even for current times...in the 80s that would have never happened. And of course it's the mom running around with the shotgun too.
Stuff like standing out in the open while literal dinosaurs are killing all of your neighbors...that was dumb too.
And this bothered me more than I thought it would:
The only thing about it is that I guess EM's character doesn't know/realize that his "current family" gets zapped away into prehistoric times, and just assumes the people he sees at the end are the same ones. But that's a hell of a secret to live with if you're the wife and kids, knowing that your "other selves" lost their dad/husband.
All in all, I liked it. But it wasn't executed as well as I hoped it would be. And it was also a lot darker/"scarier" than I thought it would be...like I guess more serious is a better way to put it. For some reason I thought it would be sort of a dark comedy vibe, and it wasn't.

And I guess just stealing the dad from the other family is cool? Like when they explain everything to him he's just not going to care that is not his family?
