Movie Reviews of Walking With Prehistoric Beasts
Movie Review: Off the beaten track, random and interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a strange fascination with mega fauna, the normally forgotten category of animals that came after the dinosaurs and before the rise of humans. Most people would know of the woolly mammoth, but not the giant sloth or the elephant bird. These animals catch my attention because of their resemblance to present day animals and their uniquely large size. I also love random facts, such as the speed of ketchup or how the sewer system was made in the US. This series marries my two loves and succeeds wildly.
This series captures the excitement of these random animals and time periods that aren't hugely popular like the dinosaurs. The each episode was a mini story, making it more interesting than a straight documentary. In addition, each episode touched on time periods, animals and facts you might never had thought about. Like huge carnivorous whales the size of a blue whale, or gigantic birds that looked like ostriches on steroids. I loved the new ideas that the series brought to my attention. Random and interesting. Off the beaten track. Just the way I like it.
Summary of Walking With Prehistoric Beasts
Imagine a National Geographic survey of a natural world that hasn't existed for millions of years. The sequel to the mesmerizing Walking with Dinosaurs, one of the most imaginative explorations of the prehistoric world ever made, once again uses the technology of the Jurassic Park fantasies to re-create the "menagerie of weird and wonderful creatures" that roamed the globe after the dinosaurs. Designed as a series of survival dramas, each of the six episodes plays like a speculative Disney True Life Adventure (with appropriately resolute narration by Kenneth Branagh) centered around a day in the life of a creature or the seasonal cycle of a species: a pride of saber tooth cats, a herd of woolly mammoths, a tribe of hominids. It's all supposition, of course, but it's supposition based on the best research available. The BBC production, which does not shy away from this violent world, includes computer-animated footage of mating and hunting techniques. However, any prehistory fan 7 or older should enjoy this series. --Sean AxmakerDocumentary DVD Video
