Dinosaur 13 Audience Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Lawbolisted Powerful
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Jesse Furlong This is a very interesting documentary, although watching it will certainly make you mad at the legal system in the United States. It's bizarre how stupid it is capable of being. Like The Cover and Man On Wire, this doc comes clad in the garb of a thriller. And a heck of a good one at that. Recommended viewing.
Chris Banzet I grew up in Hill City South Dakota. And, I was part of the National Guard in Rapid City for a while. This story is very close to me and to any of those who lived in South Dakota. This movie should bring GREAT clarity why judges should be held "accountable" and why the ridiculous politics of tribal land and millions upon millions of laws stacked to the roof isn't what the forefathers who help found this country intended. One of the most ridiculous and telling events of how America's government does business, and how the system allows such travesties against good outstanding people to take place. And most important, how the government covers up it's failures when it beats up the little guy! Judge Battey may your soul rot in hell and may "YOUR" bones someday be considered just LAND!
Joe Day I watched this one on NetFlix (which, by the way, I do not think is that great either). Anyway, I thought I might get a good story about the discovery of a dinosaur but instead was treated to a bunch of tree-hugging wimps completely irrational over their T-Rex discovery. The sappy, crocodile tears, the turning this fossil into something living like some ancient Greek statue come to life.My question: Why was the issue of selling the fossil twice not discussed? It was previously ruled that the fossil was "land" and therefore, since the land did not belong to the guy, he could not sell it without permission. So, okay, if the FBI took the bones and kept them for a couple of years, why did they give them back to the Indian guy as his to auction? And didn't Sotheby's know the ethical issues? And did the Indian guy give back the $5,000? In other words, if it could not be sold for $5,000, then why for $7 million all those years later? And why didn't any of the Larson guys complain about that? They seemed to me to be like those vanilla types who, for instance, have a baby and then the baby is kidnapped and then when they find the baby four years later they say well, it is probably better to leave the baby where it is, yadda yadda yadda. Just unbelievably passive
swooned This rings out like the true story of Indiana Jones. Well meaning palaeontologists find great prize, look at how to present that to the world and keeping a little local history local. In the end, the government comes, leaves the artefact in a box for years doing nothing, to be sold to a gallery. However D13 is presented, and where, is incidental. It may have ended up in a large museum anyway, which also makes sense, but the journey to get it there is abominable. To pick on the discoverers is extraordinary, especially in how it happened. To get 2 years for not filling out forms correctly? It just goes to show the complete injustice in our legal system, that personal opinions always get in the way, and that a legal find was reduced to the inabilities of politics to resolve a problem. To think a fossil goes for $7.6million, bought through MNCs, and completely disregard the discoverers who put so much care in preserving it as they could. Just goes to show what a delusion your freedom is. Tow the line, and you are in your freedom bubble. No wonder I despise the legal system for it's total lack of care. Just a bunch of power trippers who don't want to get their hands dirty.Without discoverers, pioneers, innovators, you would be left nowhere, with nothing. Don't ever forget that. Be one, work with them, or stand aside.I am so sorry for the lack of care given to the teams at Black Hill Institute. They are being treated the same way as we treat indigenous people. No class.My heart goes out to them.
