Movie Reviews of Chased by Dinosaurs
Movie Review: More adventure with Nigel
Summary: 5 Stars
Having seen Prehistoric Park when it was screened in Australia last year, I was anxious to see more episodes of Nigel's adventures. While Prehistoric Park is about Nigel capturing dinosaurs and bringing them back to the present, Chased by Dinosaurs is about Nigel and his intrepid band of cameramen and sound recordists being placed into different situations in the ancient world. Being a dinosaur nut since I was a young boy I found Chased by Dinosaurs an enjoyable piece of escapism coupled with some information about dinosaurs and ancient creatures. I primarily bought it for my little boy, who is a big Prehistoric Park fan, but I found myself getting just as much enjoyment out of each episode. I would recommend this program for anyone who enjoys learning about the prehistoric world.Movie Review: Best Dinosaur series bar none
Summary: 5 Stars
Nigel Marven and BBC have produced a truly stupendous series of Dinosaur movies here. Combining good scientific information with marvelous entertainment is very difficult to say the least, but these guys hit the nail on the head with "Chased by Dinosaurs."
The dinosaur animation is awesome - BBC's combination of CGI with very realistic animatronics beats the pure CGI productions any day - but what truly sets this apart is how Nigel manages to give a human scale to these prehistoric animals in a fun and enthusiastic way. It has my five year old son yearning to be a paleontologist and me feeling like a kid again. We spend hours looking up and learning more about the dinosaurs Nigel encounters and it has literally opened up a whole new world for our family.
Movie Review: Time Travel TV
Summary: 5 Stars
If mankind ever invented a real time travel machine this is just the type of documentary the BBC would make. Two episodes of Chased by Dinosaurs plus three episodes of Chased by Sea Monsters make this DVD a real deal. It also has lots of extras and Nigel Marvin is the zoologist who is sent back in time to explore the past. Because he is a real zoologist he knows just how to deal with the predators and their prey, but sometimes he DOES get in over his head and even lost his temper once. 150 minutes, with English subtitles for the deaf or hard of hearing, I have to give the BBC, the Discovery Channel and ProSieben a big two-thumbs up. Because of the predator-prey interaction I would not suggest this DVD for really young kids.Movie Review: Entertainment for both adults and children
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this video thinking it would be used currently for my own entertainment. However, my nearly three year old daughter saw the DVD case and figured she was ready to see it. Now she has a large appetite for viewing Chased By Dinasaurs. She is allowed one hour maximum of video daily, and Chased By Dinasaurs is regularly requested. I have seen the program many times now, and continue to enjoy it. The CGI technology produces surprisingly realistic scenes, and placing Nigel Marvin in a prominent role is an excellent choice. This is an entertaining, somewhat educational video that a wide range of ages will enjoy. Chased by Dinasaurs is one of the relatively few shows that the whole family can enjoy watching together.Movie Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
My six year old son can't get enough of this DVD. We don't have cable so we don't get to watch these great shows on TV when they actually debut.
This is fun, exciting, and sparks the imagination of not only the little one in our family. Nigel Marvin is great and the special effects are wonderful. After watching this DVD when we rented it, we went to the BBC website and played games that had to do with this program. It was lots of fun and we got to catch sea monters of our own.
If you or your little ones love dinosaurs and creative shows, this is the one for you. Money well spent. A good investment for both entertainment value and educational value as well.
