Movie Reviews of Walking with Dinosaurs
Movie Review: Very educational, beautifully and professionnally made
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a visual, all-encompassing, overall understanding of the world of dinosaurs, then look no further, as you've just found one such a document. This video covers the whole era of the "mighty lizards" with a timeline spanning over hundreds of millions of years, from the Triassic up until 60 millions years ago with the sudden and massive extinction of this world of giant. It is amazingly punching, with very well rendered CGI scenes, both on the ground, under the sea and in the air. This documentary is both educative and entertaining. The Allosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Diplodocus, Plesiosaur, Ichthyosaur, (etc.) will have no more secrets once you finish viewing the DVD.
Major preys and predators of each era is covered graphically. Sequences are linked with one another in chronological order. Explanatory comments are clear, to the fact, based on scientific facts rather than on extrapolations, and are provided throughout the documentary to help understand the physical evolution of the flora and fauna of the world. Rationales, although sometimes tentative, are given about the reason why some species became extinct at times. Also, a special focus is given on the emergence of a very small, second tiers species, somewhat out of place is a world of "giant lizards": mammals. It is rather moving to see what we owe in today's world to such a "negligible" mammal ancestor.
It is also a fascinating testimony to the vanity of our civilization today, built on a few thousand years (taking the invention of writing as its start), when Dinosaurs roamed and ruled the world for HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of years.
British TV animal documentaries are renowned worldwide for their utmost qualities. They have no equivalent anywhere. This is yet another example of their unequaled superiority.
