Ellen's Energy Adventure: Must do or skip?

There's a lot of "Ellen" in the attraction. I happen to like Ellen and think she's funny, so I think the ride is entertaining. But even for me, it's not an attraction that holds up to numerous viewings...like most of the movies in WS.
 

We usually see this once but save it for afternoon when we've done everything we want to and need some rest before evening in WS. It's cool and relaxing and really not too bad.
 
Hi! I've been to Epcot countless times and never done this. We tend to do the headliners in FW and get over to WS as that is our favorite place in all of WDW. My kids are 5 and 7 and therefore not super interested yet in educational stuff and also I saw that the showtime is 22 minutes, which is a big chunk of time. But my DS loves dinosaurs and I saw that there are some in the ride.

Is it worth going just to see the dinosaurs?

I enjoy the corny humor, but mostly I enjoy a chance to sit still in AC and rest up a bit.
 
I've been put off by it being hosted by "voice of Dory" and "one off guest star from Big Bang Theory". Neither Ellen or the science man have hopped the pond, so neither of them are a big enough draw for me.

I'll still do it when we're there next time as technically I've never seen it as I always fall asleep. Whoops! It's just so nice and air conditioned. My sister and I had entire row to ourselves (this was July 2014) so it wasn't particularly busy.
 
We alwaaaaays do Ellen because my 13 year old has been obsessed with this ride since he was 3 years old. It's tradition for us now. We usually stretch out and put our feet up and may or may not take a nap. The dinosaur part is pretty cool.... the jeopardy part is long and boring.
