Trivia:

Hal Jordan's fellow co-pilot, Ace Morgan, is the leader of a group of adventurers called The Challengers of the Unknown, who starred in several incarnations in the comics. The other team members (or "Challs", as they are called) can be seen during the final battle with the Centre. They are wearing the same lavender shirts and white gloves that Ace is wearing.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Wonder Woman saves Jimmy from the Centre's dinosaur, the image through Jimmy's lens shows her wearing shorts. In subsequent shots, she's back to wearing a skirt again.

Quotes:

[first lines]
The Centre:[narrating] Like all things on this hurtling sphere, I emerged from the molten center of creation. But mine has been a unique path. Isolated, I developed attributes beyond those of lesser beings. Then the sphere was struck by a vast celestial stone. Black chunks of death filled the skies and the world became a chaotic world of doom...

Unbelievably TERRIBLE

I really liked justice league cartoon series, and movie in 2010, but this was like some extremely bad horror movie, with dinosaurs as main antagonists, attacking everything that moves, and so called "heroes" cut, shoot and blow them apart like some jam pies, splitting their blood all over ground, I admit I wasn't expecting an adult movie, but this was too much, even for a 18 + in a matter of fact, I wouldn't recommend people under 30(!!) watch it, it just blew my mind( in bad way) animation, voice acting, action scenes are decent and nothing special, character faces aren't detailed at all(only basic elements there are like eyes, noses etc) there is no logic in character actions,(like it would be logical to save some dinosaurs as species) but they all are so cruel, so bad, so ignorant, it's just too much so if you don't like superheroes tearing dinosaurs apart by their genitals don't watch it... -100 out of 10
