[7/10 · 10 August 2016]

Turok is a very entertaining animated movie with lots of violence and bloodshed. It feels like The Lost World with Native Americans. The story focuses on vengeance. Because Turok killed a group of another tribe, 20 years later, the grown up son of one of the tribe sets out to massacre Turok's tribe. Turok having been banished from his tribe for his violence is forced to seek vengeance when he finds his brother killed, and his sister in law kidnapped. The story is a fast paced adventure story which starts out like a typical story about native tribes, but smoothly transitions into a story about dinosaurs. It is great to see feathered dinosaurs, and on particular scene is almost identical to a scene from Jurassic World. It is quite refreshing to see a movie where the protagonist is not Caucasian battling monsters with an ax. It may be too violent for kids, and not as broody as the Spawn animated series but it is very entertaining.
