Young viewers should be rapt from the by-now traditional acorn-snatching prologue to Dawn of the Dinosaurs’ end credits, viewing this as an equally immediate experience to live action, if not more so given the jutting beaks of the pterodactyls & co. While refraining from direct hits on the adult audience with knowing, wink-y jokes, it still manages to keep the attention of more mature viewers – the rhythms of peril here come close to the intense travails of Finding Nemo. Ice Age 3 is an exemplary marriage of precise, well-paced storytelling enhanced by 3D effects in an adventure-packed ride. Viewers old and young can appreciate the points this film makes about the nature of family without being expressly and repeatedly told so. A rattling 3D ride which gives the live action blockbuster competition a run for its money, this third installment in the popular franchise looks likely to outperform its predecessors (which grossed $383m and $652m worldwide in order) despite the tougher mid-summer release date. Parents will have to dig out the pre-history-books to convince their enchanted offspring that dinosaurs did not, in fact, share the earth with woolly mammoths and sabre toothed tigers but Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs is unlikely to draw any complaints.
