Movie Reviews of Prehistoric Park
Movie Review: Crocodile Hunter meets jurassic park
Summary: 5 Stars
This video will amaze the whole family with cutting edge graphics and an entertaining story to match. Nigel, the host, is somewhat like the famous Crocodile Hunter but in the circumstances of this video documentary he rescuing dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts. This is what Jurassic Park should have been... Nigel is making a zoo for these animals and the video documents the trials and tribulations of finding, capturing, transporting (in time), housing/caging and tending to the animals. Who doesn't want to see that?!? Your dino&beast-loving kids will be entertained for weeks (as they watch the video over and over again), and what's more, you will find yourself oftentimes watching it along side them (over and over again). Simply put, this is what family entertainment was meant to be.Movie Review: Surprisingly excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I had reservations about the idea of a Prehistoric Dino Park. It seemed a bit daft. however it's the same people that did the 'Walking With...' and the 'Chased by...' series which I loved, so I gave it a go.
They tread a very fine line between science fact and utter fantasy, but they do it with style and wit. The observation of the 'animals' in their habitats is very well done, imitating the style of wildlife documentaries to a tee. Then there is the boys-own-adventure element of trapping the beasts and keeping them, which surprisingly does tell us useful information about them and is also very entertaining.
If you love Dinos then this is for you. Nuff said.
Movie Review: Dinosaurs plus time travel -- what could be better?
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased Prehistoric Park for my son's sixth birthday, and it was an absolute hit. The dinosaurs are convincing, the stories have enough suspense to keep us watching, and there is even a bit of real wildlife biology thrown in for painless educational value. The show reminds me of a cross between Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Nature, with great dinosaurs and time travel thrown in for kid (and grown-up) appeal. The Time Portal is awesome, though my nine-year-old kept suggesting ways it could be improved to make it more efficient. At first the blue-screen effects are kind of obvious, but your kids won't care, and soon neither will you. Recommended.Movie Review: Great fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Walking with Dinosaurs for children. The CGI graphics are almost as good as Walking with Dinosaurs, and the storyline, with Nigel Marven's antics is far more entertaining. My 6 year old loves it, and watches it over and over. A lot of adults who see it while he is watching it find it fascinating too. He now loves pretending he is Nigel on a safari " to bring back creatures from the brink of extinction ", time portal and all. He's covered his bedroom wall with drawings of the microraptor, the wooly mammoth, and his favourite, the saber tooth cat. Absolutely magical for kids.Movie Review: Watch out Nigel!
Summary: 5 Stars
Within this collection is six episodes on two discs about Nigel Marven going back in time and bringing back prehistoric animals for a park in the 21st Century. I really enjoyed how the technology and methods used to make the Walking with... series have been used to help this adventure in time and space. I am also happy that animals besides dinosaurs were selected to help fill the park. Evolution, the changing environment, the social needs of some of the animals were all touched on and are important issues when dealing with such a wide range of animals, prehistoric or otherwise.
