Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The storytelling raises more logistical and legal questions than it's equipped to answer. But what Miller does have, for anyone unfamiliar with Sue's fate, is a story with a suspenseful climax.

The fate of some very old bones may not sound like compelling cinema, but when they compose the 65-million-year-old skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex that was 41 feet long and 18 feet high back in the day, all bets are off.

These events would have been better handled in a single installment of Dateline.

"Dinosaur 13" may not be the best documentary, but as a scientific soap opera, it's a doozy.
