Enjoy the creatures....ignore the acting
Filmed as the '70s drew to a close, "Planet of Dinosaurs" represents one of the last examples of the skillful use dinosaur stop-motion animation before computer animation began to dominate the scene. For fans of the art, this is a worthwhile entry. Granted, the acting by the humans involved is pathetic. So just ignore it and enjoy what the special effects artists on this film identify in the commentary as a tribute to Ray Harryhausen. And a worthy effort it is!

Planet of Dinosaurs - best edition despite the cover mistake
Another movie short on budget, but great on thrills, Planet of Dinosaurs gets an official release. It is waaaaaay better than Goodtimes.
The print is widescreen, and was taken from both 35MM and 16MM film sources, which you will notice..
Recommended to fans of low budgeters, Dinosaur movie lovers..the dino EFX are pretty damn good all things considered
Better than that other goofy dino movie Dinosaurus...
The cover states that this is the 20th Anniversary edition, but it is the 30th Anniversary edition. After emailing Retromedia, Fred Olen Ray says they're not going to fix the cover...shame on you Fred
Overall Retromedia did a good job with this movie print - but the cover mistake is huge.

Not so special after all. . .
I've loved this film ever since I was a kid and, after some good press, was really looking forward to this DVD. Retromedia drops the ball again, however, in providing an artifacty interlaced transfer crudely blown up to fit the extra resolution of a 16:9 enhanced frame.
Even worse, new digital special effects have been added in at random and for no discernible purpose. The audio commentary is a wonderful asset, but it isn't worth paying $13 - stick to the old Goodtimes DVD. It was sub-par, sure, but at least it kept the film intact.
