Critics Consensus

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs boasts some excellent animation -- in particular, the dinosaurs are wonderfully realized -- but its story is tired and monotonous.

The fact of the presence of heroes in the dinosaur world already calls into question the creative thinking of the screenwriters, but the film could still pull off all kinds of jokes, such as Buck's grace, good humor, Scrat's girlfriend.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Ice Age: Dawn of The Dinosaurs is an improvement over Ice Age and Ice Age: The Meltdown. Packed with action, music and some humor, this third installment is definitely one of Blue Sky's best.

The Indian Express

The third part of the Ice Age saga suffers from franchise fatigue—the critters, most of whom we are familiar with from the past couple of films, and some that have been added in, don’t really get to do much that’s fresh and new.

The manic pace quickly grows tiresome, as does the influx of cloying baby animals.

Deep Focus Review

It’s a completely unnecessary sequel so unbearably unimaginative that it feels like a tired obligation being fulfilled by the begrudging talent to appease a studio’s need for sequel marketability.

Rated: 1.5/4

An engaging third instalment in the hit series of animated comedies about a group of oddball prehistoric creatures.
