TAGLINES PLOT SUMMARY
After the events of "Ice Age: The Meltdown", life begins to change for Manny and his friends: Scrat is still on the hunt to hold onto his beloved acorn, while finding a possible romance in a female sabre-toothed squirrel named Scratte. Manny and Ellie, having since become an item, are expecting a baby, which leaves Manny anxious to ensure that everything is perfect for when his baby arrives. Diego is fed up with being treated like a house-cat and ponders the notion that he is becoming too laid-back. Sid begins to wish for a family of his own, and so steals some dinosaur eggs which leads to Sid ending up in a strange underground world where his herd must rescue him, while dodging dinosaurs and facing danger left and right, and meeting up with a one-eyed weasel known as Buck who hunts dinosaurs intently.

A good way to spend about an hour or so
posted on 30 Aug 2009I figured since Hollywood has a bad habit of making really good movies, and then later on really bad sequels I thought this was going to be a waste of time. I thought wrong...I haven't seen an animated movie as good as this for a very long time.I'm not really much of a fan of animated movies(with the exception of the Ice age series of course). since their punchlines only make me chuckle a little. I like to LMAO more then I like to lol.. This is almost definitely an LMAO.Overall I'll give this movie a 8/10. The script was good, I think maybe the plot could use a little work, the characters are lovable, I also really liked the choice of actors for the Ice Age series.
ice age 3
posted on 30 Aug 2009I thought the film itself was brilliant,entertaining and the 3D version was good value for money, great animation quality. It's a lot better then the second film. The new character of Buck is a great addition, he reminds me of Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean). I thought the best part of the film was when Sid finds some T-Rex eggs and tries to adopt them and they copy him when they hatch. The only downer of the film was when the baby mammoth is born, its not as heartfelt as it could be, which let it down a little. Certain aspects of the film could have been improved, mainly the relationship between Manny and Ellie, could have been conveyed more obviously. However, in conclusion, I found this film a great watch and very funny.
Good fun
posted on 30 Aug 2009Firstly, it has to be said that comparisons of this film to recent offerings by Pixar are unfair, not to mention way off the mark. People really need to lose this idea that animation is a genre. It isn't. It's a medium. The fact that two films are animated does not mean they should necessarily be compared - I've seen so many comparisons of this film to Pixar's Up. Up is not a comedy. Ice Age is. So stop comparing the two.Now that's out the way, all I can say is that Ice Age 3 is a silly, and yet absolutely gloriously fun romp for all ages. The characters are endearing and amusing, the world they're in is gorgeously rendered, and their adventure, while ludicrous, is nevertheless fabulously enjoyable. The addition of new character Buck provides lots of laughs, and the return of previous cute characters like Scrat, Crash, and Eddie will keep viewer's hearts melted.I'm looking forward to seeing it again.
Ice Age - Buck Rocks
posted on 28 Aug 2009Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - what i like in the movie is the new character Buck (voice by Simon Pegg), slightly crazed weasel. He is like this small creature who is going to take over the largest dinosaur called Rudy, (a white Baryonyx that is the world's biggest carnivorous dinosaur),oh yes bigger than Tyrannosaurus Rex. He is this miniature Rambo fighting in the jungle who knows hot to protect himself and the people around him. The characters' attitude is again awesome and he says that you have rules in the jungle, and the first rule is to "Listen to Buck".The story of Ice Age 3 is about being a part of the family, in their case is being part of a herd that stays together, lives together and then has a brilliant adventure together in protecting each other. Ellie (voice by Queen Latifah) and Manny (voice by Ray Romano) are having a baby and Manny has baby proofed nature. There is this potion of jungle where he has removed all the pointy objects, covered all the twigs with snow balls that it does not hurt the baby. At the same time, Sid (voice by John Leguizamo) and Deigo (voice by Denis Leary) are feeling left out from the herd, that is normal.The adventures start when Sid finds the dinosaur eggs and the hatch to know that they are the eggs of T-Rex, Sid tries to make the hardcore carnivores get converted to become vegetarian, but in vain. Then, one the Mom T-Rex arrives, she takes the three babies and Sid to whole new world where the Dinosaurs are still not completely extinct. This where they meet Buck.My favorite sequence from the movie is the chase when Buck is flying one of the bird like dinosaurs to save Sid from falling into the lava waterfall and is being chased by even more vicious bird like dinosaurs who are trying to attack them (Buck, Crash, Eddy) in an aerial combat. You need to watch it to believe it. This is the favorite animation sequence.Scrat, has new thing to seek other than the Acorn, this time it is Scratteeeee. She is seductive, beautiful, battering her eyelids to gain attention of Scrat only to get to the acorn. In the end, they play this song with the credits which was again, super awesome and there is Sid in a very funny dance moves.Sid, Manny, Ellie, Deigo, Crash and Eddie are their usual self. The new entry into their heard if Peaches who is most adorable baby, why the name peaches is story in the story. Hoping to see Ice Age 4, if there is any...
Brought me back to the golden age of Tom and Jerry.
posted on 28 Aug 2009I had a struggle as to give it a 7 or 8 'cause I gave Up an 8. So how to justify the difference or the distance they had was quite hard to decide. I finally gave it an equal 8.Frankly, Ice Age 3 is a good movie that doesn't really need a review. People went to see it expecting what exactly it will come out. Yet it's free of foul language, inappropriate information that other blockbusters may have. And they got exactly what they want and came back smiling with the whole family. End of story? Not exactly. The cartoon context is so unique in that you can invent your whole environment and creatures to ensure the technical eligibility, while throwing in your real-life friends for fun and for differentiation. For those HD quality fanatics, they would buy the Blu-ray with no doubt, while for most families they just want to laugh and laugh again with an ironical feeling. This kind of subtlety and awareness are not scarce in recent animations, but fits into the context of Ice Age 3 perfectly. Just like Tom & Jerry, the characters may really fight/kill their butts off, yet they still know it's a cartoon. So when a teenager sees the interactions between Scrat and Scrate, he laughs his teeth off every time. But when a middle-aged couple see the scenes, they laugh at first but had a mixed feeling later.The best thing about this movie is that it knows what it is, and surely it doesn't want to compete with Up in terms of sentimental value and life philosophy. In some way, it's even more honest and pure. However it succeeded with a much simpler formula but offered equal fun and maturity. So why not giving it a chance? P.S. Scrat and Scrate made a cinema gem with their Tom and Jerry charm.
A bit over-familiar
posted on 28 Aug 2009I don't want to damn with faint praise, but I suspect that's what it's going to sound like.I liked this film, but I didn't love it. It was fun, but not hysterical. The 3D was good, but not great.There was absolutely nothing to criticise - everything was done competently at worst, with great skill at best. The voice characterisations were all good, with Simon Pegg chipping in an excellent characterisation as swashbucking weaselly hero-type thing Buck. The baby critters, of whatever species, are all dead cute. The backgrounds are wonderfully well realised. The story is solid and the moral is worthwhile. And yet...I think my problem is that, by film 3, it's all so familiar. Notwithstanding a change in locale, we know the characters so well that what they get up to is, too me, beginning to become a little limiting (so hooray for the trip to the subterranean world and the change of scenery which goes with it.Take your kids and go and see it - you'll enjoy it. I did. But...
1 and 2 were better
posted on 28 Aug 2009I always liked animations like his one, but I just didn't like Ice Age 3. The other Ice Ages were so much funnier, with comic situations, and this one is all about family and kids and stuff like that, what turned it into a boring movie.On the other hand, there are still good scenes, creative situations and everything, besides that the animation itself is just perfect. Other thing that catches the attention are the "subliminar sexual jokes" that, I think, just grown ups understand.All in all, I really think there are other movies of this gender much better. Finding Nemo is the best example, besides the other Ice Ages, like I said... It is not difficult to find others.
Ice Age 3- Dawn of the Dinosaurs: 3D
posted on 26 Aug 2009i just saw it today in 3D (Australia) and it was better than expected. After the second one i didn't have high hopes for the 4th installment but i was proved wrong. While the plot wasn't the best, the visuals were really good and pretty to look at. the characters continue to grow on you and now that we know them, we can laugh at their antics. There was humor that all ages could laugh at and for those of you who have seen the trailer a million time, don't worry - they didn't put all the laughs in the adds/trailer. they left the end open to there could be a fourth and it would be interesting to see what they do with it. while it might not have been the best movie i can think of, it achieved what it set out to do: be a kids/family entertainment.
3D is here to stay
posted on 26 Aug 2009I saw Journey to the Center of the Earth on 3D. It was so amazing. They came out with the old-fashion 3d-glasses version, you know, the old blue and red. At one time I didn't even think about the headache such technology gave me as well as the ill-fitting floppiness of the glasses. This new 3D technology is out of this world. Today, it was as if they were some cartoonish plush toys you could reach out and grab. Some scenes it was as if they were jumping off the screen into your lap. That was just the 3d, what about the story? I was wondering how they were going to work dinosaurs into an Ice Age. Right now there are a number of people movies exploring comedy and dinosaurs. Some have been good and others should have died with the ice. Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, even without the 'd', is superb. There is humor to satisfy young and old. In fact, in some parts, like Scratte and the record player, kids don't have a clue as to what it is and why it is funny. It is certainly on my to buy list. Oh! As usual Scratte steals the show, he and his lady friend. If you cannot grab a kid as an excuse to go just grab the kid inside you and enjoy!
Cute Journey to the Land of the Lost
posted on 26 Aug 2009My boys and I saw this movie in 2D. I did not really see any scene that I felt would have looked better in 3D. While I'm sure it would look better in 3D, but I suspect not by much.In this third installment, Manny the Mammoth and his gang make a journey to the center of the earth where they discover a lost world where dinosaurs still rule. We have seen this story many times before. The only thing that carries this story forward are the cute characters and their staunch friendship with each other. The dialogues are quite funny. The art work is commendable with its sense of depth and texture, as before. The action scenes (especially that one with Sid sledding in the snow grappling with three dinosaur eggs) were very well-executed.The new character, a swashbuckling weasel named Buck was cutely heroic, but I felt I have seen this character many times before in other animated films. Not very original again, including his eye patch. There were a lot of mushy love scenes of Scrat and his female partner. However, treating this situation as a love triangle with the Acorn was comedic genius for me ("Alone Again Naturally, haha!) Some scenes would seem very scary for kids like the meat-eating dinosaurs coughing out entire animals they had eaten, small raptors attacking Ellie while she was in labor or any scene with the giant white dinosaur named Rudy.
3 D Funtertainment , Total Paisa Vasool :-)

Iced-over storyline and action
posted on 24 Aug 2009James Bond, Harry Potter, and Star Wars notwithstanding, there are not too many movie franchises that aren't gasping for breath by the third entry. The latest evidence is the animated comedy "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs." Like the "Shrek" movies, the "Ice Age" stories began modestly but have now caved under the weight of too many characters. No. 3 brings back the wooly mammoth Manny (voiced by Ray Romano); his significant other Ellie (Queen Latifah); Diego (Denis Leary), the macho tiger; the hapless sloth Sid (John Leguizamo); and the wordless squirrel Scrat (Chris Wedge).The first few scenes are ominously discouraging. Ellie's is shown to be "with child," and Diego is starting to feel his age. So we get a lot of touchy-feely dialogue about mortality and sharing your emotions – not the kind of talk you're eager to receive from a couple of wooly mammoths.These characters have worn their more endearing traits down to a nub. Sid was always meant to irritate his on-screen friends, but now he gets under our skin as well. Ray Romano, in what was once his only credible movie role, makes Manny as grating as his "Everybody Loves Raymond" persona was. And if you've seen Denis Leary on his TV series "Rescue Me," you know that the last emotion he should be asked to display is sensitivity.As if just giving enough screen time to each returnee wasn't enough to intimidate the movie makers, they added an underground world of dinosaurs, so the whole gang can get chased around and scream as if they're in Jurassic Park.Then they get a travel guide, in the form of a macho weasel named Buck (Simon Pegg), so that the movie can score a few "Apocalypse Now" jokes.Who's supposed to care about any of this guff? Cartoony as they were, the first two movies made you feel as though something was as stake for these creatures. Now they've turned into stand-up comics, delivering little zingers before they lumber off-screen. The movie alternates between these puny jokes and drawn-out scenes of frantic action, neither of which adequately carry the story or its many subplots.Finally, it must be noted that the movie is in 3D, with the usual cheesy glasses provided at each screening. If you're a fan of this format, ignore my carping. But I share critic Roger Ebert's view that if animation is done plausibly enough, a viewer shouldn't require special glasses to be dazzled by it. Here, 3D is just another prominent distraction.
Surprised that I enjoyed it.
posted on 24 Aug 2009Not a bad flick. I don't remember liking the first one, skipped the second one and the only reason I went to see this one was because it was a "sneak preview" that started right after the movie I had gone to see and it was in 3D. I recommend seeing this one in 3D as it was worth the extra couple dollars. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The story was really stupid and didn't make any sense (dinosaurs living under the ice???), but it kept me interested the entire movie, partly because of the hilarious side story with the acorn loving animal and an excellent job by Simon Pegg as Buck the weasel(I just got done watching his TV show "Spaced" so maybe I am a little partial), who I had no idea was going to be in the movie. This movie also did a wonderful job of keeping everyone in the audience interested. The theater was packed and the only things you heard besides the movie was popcorn chomping and laughter, lots of laughter. Definitely worth seeing at the theater.
Painfully bad script
posted on 24 Aug 2009OK, you saw Ice Age 1&2 and you will see the third one. I know this mini-review will not prevent you from seeing the movie. But at least I will have have a good sleep... because I TOLD YOU!OK, IA3 is BAD. Really bad. It is missing something the previous 2 movies had. Humor. Yes, there is a lot of action, animals are jumping all around the screen and every now and then someone is falling into bottomless abyss... But that is too little to present it as a movie. Mainly because...The script is retarded! I felt like Sylvester Stallone was writing it! The movie seems like a sequence of random scenes a events - this may work great for Family Guy, but it does not for IA3. I did not have a clue what was happening in the first 30 minutes, apparently the animals were trying to get from point A to point B. What was happening after knows only God and a few millions people who actually sit through whole movie.Jokes were too forced and rare. Feels like 10 "creative" marketing guys were sitting together and everyone had to felt the obligation to actually contribute something to the movie. You just do not feel the passion and enthusiasm that was put into the first Ice Age. IA3 feels like a YET ANOTHER GENERIC PRODUCT manufactured by generic employees of a generic company.It is bigger. It is noisier. It is more annoying. And it is NOT FUNNY. Sure, graphics is great but it is just a lipstick on a fat & dirty (fill in the animal you really dislike).
Fun for everyone.
posted on 22 Aug 20096 hours ago,I went to the movies to catch the 4:40 showing of 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' with my older sister and her boyfriend.I liked the first movie but I haven't seen the second,but that didn't stop me from wanting to see the 3rd installment in the popular series.Boy,am I glad that I spent money and 94 minutes of my life by seeing this.The movie was packed with humor,action,adventure,interesting characters,and even some heart.There are many relationships between characters in this movie that help it from melting.Manny and Ellie are 2 happy woolly mammoths who are expecting a baby.Scrat,the squirrel who continues on his hunt for acorns,meets a female squirrel named Scratee(Scrah-tay),and falls for her.Sid becomes a parent when he discovers 3 eggs underground.In short,I loved this movie.Bring on Ice Age 4
Surpasses the first two in so many ways
posted on 22 Aug 2009All I can say is WOW. I went to go see this yesterday and the laughs never stopped. And the animation was top notch. This time around Sid finds 3 eggs. He doesn't no that they're are dinosaurs. So when the eggs hatch the mother comes and takes Sid also. So its up to Manny,Diego,Ellie,Crash,and Eddie to save him. I know its kinda crazy for them add dinosaurs to this film. But it totally works here. I enjoy this more than the Shrek movies. Yeah I said it. This is a heartwarming comedy with some pretty good action in it. And yeah squirrel is still chasing that nut. But with a twist he has competition this time around. I recommend this for the whole family. 5/5 10/10.
They sometimes say the sequels only get worse, but not in this case!
posted on 22 Aug 2009I thought that Ice age was the greatest animation movie at it's time. Ice age 2: the meltdown was a great sequel and I thought that was the end of the series. But then Ice age 3: Dawn of the dinosaurs showed up!I was psyched to go see this movie! I wanted to see more of the hilarious antics of Scrat and the always clumsy Sid. However Ice age 3 delivered so much MUCH more...If you are familiar with Ice age 1 and 2, you will feel right at home when watching 3. The humor is the same, if not better. All the characters from the prequels return and we get a few new ones too!Scratte is simply awesome! She's the rival of Scrat when it comes to collecting acorns. The scenes they have together are simply hilarious. Then we have Buck, the one-eyed weasel. Another great addition to the cast. I loved his voice and facial expressions. He's just a crazy, care-free, single guy who spends his life in a jungle. The 'old' characters all do their part to make this movie even more enjoyable. You think that adding characters will make the ones already present move more to the background. Not in this movie! Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie, Crash and Eddie all still have funny scenes and dialog. I laughed almost the whole movie, it's a real fun fest!If you can, try to watch this movie in 3-D. It's just an extra feature they used really well. Plus, when was the last time you saw a movie in 3-D!?I give Ice age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs a fat 9 out of 10 stars!
Another Fun Adventure
posted on 22 Aug 2009I haven't seen the second movie of the series, and so can only compare "Dawn of the Dinosaurs" to the first. Aside from the equally superb animation, I thought this story was weaker than the original (as are most sequels) but still was good fun. Here, Sid the Sloth is working with babies again (just as he worked with the human baby in the first movie.) This time, it's a trio of dinosaur babies that he stumbles upon and decides to raise as his own. Yeah, I know, dinosaurs and mammals didn't co-exist - but it's a kid's movie - and the writers got around that by turning this into a kind of "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" type adventure. Sid discovers the eggs after crashing through the ice into an underground world where dinosaurs still rule. Unfortunately, Mamma Dinosaur wants her babies back, and Sid ends up being taken along for the ride, which means that Diego, Manfred et. al. have to set out on their own adventure to rescue him.What I thought was much weaker here than in the original movie was the lack of any real poignancy, such as Manfred's memories of his family or Diego's "death scene." This movie simply comes on like an action/adventure with some comedy (and some of it pretty funny) thrown in. Personally, I didn't care that much for the new character of Buck, a one-eyed weasel who's essentially exiled himself in dino-world and who ends up leading the gang in their search. It's a good movie for kids (although some of the dinosaur scenes might be a bit scary for younger ones.) 6/10
Great movie
posted on 20 Aug 2009I was able to see it on Monday as my G/F works at blue sky studios and they had a crew showing in 3D. I was not a fan of the second movie as I didn't really enjoy it but I actually enjoyed the third movie very much it was fun and heart warming at the same time. As I have a 13 year old daughter who gets all the DVD's I like it when there is a movie that is enjoyable to watch as I will be seeing it like 20 times over the next year (hats off to shrek 3 another movie I can watch more than once in the same group of movies). I think the graphics were amazing on the film and the digital animation of the scenery is amazing the 3D was designed in from the beginning and it shows.
Thawing Ice.
posted on 30 Aug 2009Sid inadvertently finds a world in the melting ice age which is home to prehistoric dinosaurs after he takes one tyrannosaurus rex's unhatched eggs (believing the eggs have no mother and never knowing until they hatch they are actually dinosaurs). Now it is up to Manny, Ellie (expecting their first child), Diego, and the other major characters brought back from "Ice Age: The Meltdown" to save the day. And of course we have new characters and graphics to go with the new adventure. Impressive, but somewhat underwhelming third installment in the hugely popular computer-animated genre as the characters are still right on target (particularly those from the original installment) and the situations continue to be fun and interesting for most all age groups. With that said, the thrill and energy of the initial concept is slowly trickling away as the film-makers seem to be grasping at straws to feed hungry audiences who love these characters and concepts and keep the money machine rolling full-speed ahead. Though far from perfect and easily the weakest of the series, the movie is still highly entertaining and serves the masses well in spite of numerous shortcomings. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
