• Badass Decay: The old Edmontosaurus. Justified, and started prior to the events of the show because of a brain tumor. It Gets Worse for him.
  • Base Breaker: Is Scar cute or annoying?
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: There's one scene where the Edmontosaurus are ambushed by the albertosaurs where one literally leaps (like a raptor) out of friggin' nowhere to tackle one of the poor plant-eaters. Imagine three tons of teeth and death leaping at you.
    • Not to mention that the filmmakers use slow motion to chilling effect in some of these scenes.
  • Nightmare Retardant: The appearence of the feathered tyrannosaurs can come across this way to some viewers, which isn't helped by the ridiculous Contrived Stupidity they often fall prey to in the program.
  • Special Effect Failure: The Troodon feathers very noticeably clip into their neck, and there is at least one Edmontosaurus that walks in the air.
  • Ugly Cute: The Troodons.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: For a TV movie, the visuals are very nice.
