Summary: DINOSAURS RULE!
Review: Anything and everything that has to be said about this superlative series has already been stated in the 100 reviews. All I can add is that this documentary is instructive, amusing, entertaining, and enthralling. All children - and their parents or guardians - should be required to watch this series and see how a well-researched and superbly executed documentary is done. It seems the Brits have this sort of thing down pat, doesn't it? Timothy C. Wingate of Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA

Summary: Dinasaurs Ruled this does too
Review: This movie tells an evolutionary story with effects of Spielberg quality. Hip-hip-hurray to BBC. The only negative statement is I wish this was one continuous movie without interruption. I would rate this movie 5 stars if that one change was made. I really appreciated the perspective from which many shots were taken (looking around a tree, through bushes, from above, below etc.) It made it seem as if I were there. The BBC continues its history of educational television with the addition of realism via outstanding FX.

Summary: I've waited my whole life for a show like this.
Review: After 30 years of countless drawings, paintings, and models; most of which were never rendered with accuracy in mind, I can finally watch and marvel at some of the most spectacular animals ever to live on this planet. The CG was so stunning it took my viewing it over dozens of times before I could identify the small clues that this was not reality. Well directed and narrated it does an impressive job making its content clear. As with everything, however, it was no perfect. There were several places where the story called for claims of behavior that were unlikely or even silly. Opthalmasaurus could not eat the offspring of other Opthalmasaurus with its "toothless snouts", and Young Ornithochirus most likely would no be eating the dead adults because thier teeth werewn't meant for tearing flesh(Even the scene of the young pterosaur picking at the eye of the dead adult looks awkward). Despite these minor points, the entirety of the scenes were spectacular and complete. If you love dinosaurs, this one will bring tears of excitement to your eyes.

Summary: An excellent video for toddlers
Review: My three year old was completely captivated by this eye-popping documentary. While my husband and I found it a bit dry at times, as far as diolouge went, there was no denying the stunning visual effects. I would recommend this for anyone who is a "dino fanatic".

Summary: Better even than Jurrasic Park!
Review: I ordered this title from Amazon based primarily on the customer comments I'd read about it in this section (a process which has failed me a couple of times in the past, unfortunately). The fact that it was worth over $25 (this is substantial especially for destination countries like the Philippines, where we also have to contend with high shipping rates) also prompted me to pursue a cycle of ordering it, then cancelling, then reordering it, and so forth - until I finally decided to "bite the bullet". Needless to say, and as one may see from the 5 stars I gave it, it was a choice I never regretted since..."Walking with Dinosaurs" is a visually brilliant piece of documentary work, combining a dazzling array of computed-generated imagery and animatronics. The 2-disc set comes with bonus pictures such as PIP, a "making-of" featurette and subtitling. The main feature is divided into 6 main chapters, with each focusing either on a particular period (e.g. Late Triassic in "New Blood") or type of creature (i.e. a pteranodon in "Giant of the Skies", ocean-dwellers in "Cruel Seas"). What can I say? It's a visually breathtaking experience, presented ala a National Geographic or Discovery Channel special, actual documentary. Some scenes are very graphic (i.e., when the velociraptor was feasting on a newly-hatched diplodocus, when a baby diplodocus was accidentally killed by the spiked tail of a stegosaurus). Some where hair-raisingly shocking (e.g. when the hige sea creature came out of nowhere to grab the unsuspecting raptor-like dinosaur). It's simply amazing, especially for one such as I (and I believe millions of other people) who grew up with a wide-eyed fascination for dinosaurs. It's like seeing them for the first time (check it out - the T-Rex' saliva even splashed onto the camera lens! Ughhhh....:) Trust me, you have to get this. As an avid DVD collector (I have over 200 titles, including some of the better animal documentaries such as those by IMAX), I'd consider this a top 10, "must have".

Summary: Now I see what I could only imagine before
Review: "See what you could only imagine before" is how we should take this BBC series. No matter what the paleontologists and critics say, this is a most up-to-date work on this Lost World. These 6 Episodes take us, the viewers through the Life and Times of these creatures that walked the earth before us. The special effects, with or without footprints, with or without thumping earth-shaking sounds show us enough, with the latest scientific findings, to give us what we could not picture before. More than that, they have taken pains in their research to "put to Life" the creatures in terrain that were nearest to what the Dinosaurs were roaming in. The narration by Kenneth Branagh is authoritative and the material is entertaining and educational. No matter that the producers admit to some guess-work, but we know no more than mere fossils and skeletons found anyway. Even some of the Scientists and Paleontologists agree that with the animation, they have new theories of how some of the dinosaurs moved! A plus for DVD is the picture-in-picture feature that shows some of the behind-the-scenes and explanatory footage. Also on DVD is a second disc of 50-mins documentary showing the "making of". This is a typical BBC documentary - brilliant. Altogether, a must-buy documentary feature. joto25

Summary: It doesn't get any better than this! - 100 Stars!!!!
Review: What can you say, this is just fantastic!!! just what television was meant to be! These incredible animals bought back to life is almost too good to be true, sure it is all speculation, but it's inherent to the field, if your one of those people who need 'we don't know but we think this is how it was' put before every single sentence then best you stear clear, the rest of us, however, can enjoy this for what is, a monumental achievenment in television. As a CG animator I can tell you without a doubt that the CG in this series is better than anything in Jurassic Park or the Lost World put together, and at 2.5 hours there is 10x more of it as well!, anyone who says otherwise doesn't know CG. But wait, there's more guys! Look out for the special 1 hour new episode of Walking with Dinosaurs - 'the life of 'al' the Allosaurus' set in the glorious Jurassic premiering on BBC and the Discovery channel this Christmas!!! That's right, an all new 50 minuter ep!!! I just hope they release it on DVD as well! So if your getting WWD get the DVD, it's in 16:9 widescreen so you seen a lot more than the 4:3 tv broadcast, trust me it's worth it!

Summary: the real deal
Review: Great documentary. Loads of info and Great visuals. They are easily comparable with jurassic park. The "on-location" shots are awesome and really make you feel like you are back in that era. It's more like a "life and times" of certain dinosaurs than a lecture type documentary. My only complaint is the audio. It's very good but there is no sub-woofer action. I was really wanting to hear the "thud" when they hit the ground running, but nothing. All in all the documentary really makes you feel as though you are experiencing what it was actually like back then. The best Dino documentary out so far.
