Dinosaur Island

Dinosaur Island (also known as Journey to Dinosaur Island in the UK) is a 2014 British-Australian family adventure film. The film is written and directed by Matt Drummond and co-produced by Jason Moody and Megan Williams. It focuses on an island where a special kind of crystal acts as a portal that can bring different things from different times on the island. The film was inspired by a conversation between Drummond and American film producer Paul Mason while both were living on the South Pacific Island of Vanuatu. Journey to Dinosaur Island has also been called the first feature film to depict a feathered Tyrannosaurus. Plot Lucas, a 13-year-old boy, visits his grandmother's old house which is now set 'for sale'. There, while exploring the bookshelves, he finds a crystal in a box. Interested, he takes it with him. The adventure begins when, in his plane, he puts the crystal onto the next empty seat and it starts to glow. A disaster strikes the plane and Lucas finds himself stranded in a strange land littered with ghost ships and prehistoric creatures. While searching for other signs of life, Lucas hears a radio broadcast in the distance and is drawn into the jungle, where he encounters a beautiful young girl Kate, who claims to be from the 1950s. He learns that Kate used to possess a similar crystal like the one Lucas has. She gives him her diary which she denotes as ‘Survival Guide’ for Lucas. He also meets a Sinornithosaurus whom Kate named Mimos. Mimos is able to imitate any sound he heard. After a minor earthquake, Lucas learns that mists forms during earthquakes and brings airplanes, like the one in which Lucas arrived, from different timezones including past and future. The airplanes are always empty but bring many useful things. When another airplane arrives, Lucas and Kate set of to explore it. At the same moment, some tribal people investigate the plane and capture the duo. On their way to the camp they encounter gigantic Pitcher Plants(Nepenthes) and Venus Flytraps . On reaching the village, they are put into a pyramid-shaped wooden cage. There, Lucas meets another prisoner who when sees the crystal in Lucas's hand and says it's called a ‘sing sing stone’. He whistles and mist forms over the crystal. This mist brings things from time. He says that these stone are present in larger form between the twin volcanoes and they are responsible for forming the mist and bringing planes on the island.
