This was not a subject that I had any particular interest in before seeing this, but having seen some of the other films from these filmmakers I decided to watch.

It is a lovely introduction for someone new to the subject, but still provides a lot of information. Unlike most dinosaur based documentaries, this one focuses less on the creatures themselves and more on how people began to study them, and some of the mistakes made by people who first found the bones.

This is presented with the couple's usual friendly presentation, which shows a real enthusiasm for the subject, and which is infectious to the viewer.

I have read some of the negative or mediocre reviews on here, and I have to agree with parts of them which question the 'plot' of this story, however, I feel that this is to look at Glass Onion as something that it is not.

While Knives Out was a highly plot-driven film, with Craig's Benoit almost feeling slightly outside of the main action, in this follow up film (I won't use the word 'sequel' as it seems more like a separate entity sharing a character he in far more central, and the whole film is more a character piece, delighting in the characters, and especially in Benoit, rather than focusing on the plot over people.

Looked at in this way, is is an enjoyable film, and well worth a watch.

If they can pull together both the character piece of this film and the strong plot of Knives Out in a future film, they would be very close to perfection!

This is an interesting film. When sitting down to watch it I thought it would be a light, fluffy, fun film, but is has so much depth hidden within.

Jason Momoa is wonderful at the larger than life 'Flip', but it is Chris O'Dowd, playing an estranged Uncle suddenly finding himself having to raise a 'tween' child, and doing his best despite struggling with no clue what he is doing, that makes this film so much more than it could have been, and really marks itself out as an outstanding family film.

Are a few of the ideas a little trite? Are many of the 'big reveals' obvious to an adult audience? Probably, but the cast, and O'Dowd in particular make it transcend these elements.

Those of us who best know O'Dowd for his comedy work in The IT Crowd have their eyes well and truly open to what an amazing actor he is!
