Movie Reviews of Jurassic Fight Club: Season One
Movie Review: Leviathons at War
Summary: 5 Stars
Jurassic Fight Club delivered as promised! The segments were a well organized combination of paleanthology, history, forensic science, and excellent CGI. The viewer gets a quick snapshot of the science behind the recreations of lives and events millions of years ago, then gets to watch it all come together in dramatic combats as titans from eons past battle to the death for survival! Keeping in mind the many gaps that necessarily exist when trying to piece together a life story from fossilized scraps of minerals from millions of years in the past ( a REALLY Cold Case!)the recreations are as well put together as they could be. All in all, a true mixture of science, entertainment, history, and leviathon showdowns!
Summary of Jurassic Fight Club: Season One
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB:SEASON 1 - DVD MovieDinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, but Jurassic Fight Club offers ample evidence that our fascination with these mighty creatures is eternal. Sure, there will be those who will object to the various inaccuracies and generally flashy style and tone of the 12 episodes (on four discs) from this first season of the popular History Channel series. But this isn?t science class; it?s entertainment, and taken on its own terms, it?s both engaging and informative. The show?s conceit--namely, that "new discoveries in forensic science bring to life the prehistoric art of war"--reveals itself through episodes focusing on particular dinosaurs, including their environments, their prey, and their adversaries. Thus we get Madagascar?s Majungatholus, the "Cannibal Dinosaur," an "apex predator" that weighed a ton and was thirty feet long; when a male of the species kills a youngster, the baby?s mother exacts her brutal revenge in graphic detail (it?s not for nothing that the show advises viewer discretion). Elsewhere, we meet Nanotyrannus, the "pygmy tyrant" (smaller and stealthier than the notorious T-Rex, this nasty customer feeds on the latter?s young), as well as Allosaurus, the enormous "Terror of the Jurassic," and Ceratosaurus, another huge predator. We see Megalodon, the 50-foot ancestor of the great white shark, attacked by an entire pod of sperm whales from the Miocene era, and the fearsome raptors, who hunted in packs and were smarter and stealthier than other hunters. And "Armageddon," one of the best episodes, chronicles the Mt. Everest-sized asteroid that landed on the Yucatan Peninsula 65 million years ago, bringing the reign of the dinosaurs to a sudden and unimaginably violent end.
All of this is delivered quite convincingly and realistically by way of CGI, computer recreations of the actual "combat" scenes, charts, graphs, tables, maps, film footage of actual paleontologists and other scientists in the field, and interviews with numerous experts (principally the colorful "Dinosaur George" Blasing). The pounding, dramatic music is similar to that used for History productions like Battle 360 and The Universe, as is the macho narration (which favors overheated terminology like "crime scene," "suspect," and "investigators"). Bonus material is limited to some additional footage on one disc. --Sam Graham
