Summary: Simply the best !
Review: I have just read several reviews about BBC's Walking with Dinasours and all some people can do is moan about the guess's they made about what Dinasours behaved or looked like.We will never know that, but if you want to watch a program or film that treats Dinasours like the animals they were, this is it. It is light years better than Jurassic Park, as that was a story about people with Dinasours added as extras. This is about Dinasours. If you are down to your last $25 - spend it on this, you will not regret it.

Summary: BBC cgi.
Review: It's an interesting mix. You can see how they mix CGI and puppets for quite a few critters here. The CGI was good, the puppets were interesting, but part of me really wanted to see more of a "living, breathing" matrix of creatures. Alas. However, in the shows defence, it just made Jurassic Park look like childs work, and some of the theories put forth were interesting. I would suggest this for kids and such as the dinos will be cool and all, and I hope that some of the things put forth by this video will inspire the next generation of Paloentologists to come up with new theories on these wonderful creatures.

Summary: dinosaurs walk again
Review: walking with dinosaurs is the way a dinosaur documentary needs to be done to really capture the general public's attention. the dinosaurs are not talked about in the past tense, they are talked about as if they were living today. there are no theories presented; all is presented as supposedly true... from their social life, their hunting, and search for mates. even though I do question some, if not all, of the dinosaurs' proposed behavior, it still makes for an entertaining viewing. the dinosaurs were brought to life via computer animation and puppetry.. after reading many books and magazines on special effects, I could tell when one technique was used and the other was not. at times, they were combined, sometimes seamlessly, and sometimes not. to say the special effects are on par with jurassic park or even exceeding it is saying too much. the computer generated dinosaurs do not blend in so well with the background plates and the puppets are obviously hand operated.. I suppose jurassic park did have a bigger budget. still, to the less trained eyes, they will look mighty real and magnificient. if one is looking for the definitive dinosaur documentary on dvd, this is the one to pick up. the facts may be dated or speculated and the special effects (while still very good) will look computer generated. nonetheless, it still makes for good viewing. their is nothing about 'real' dinosaurs out on the video market that matches this documentary in terms of entertainment and education.. so buy this dvd, turn out the lights and take a trip millions of years into the past. view a world that is not like today and watch animals you thought you never see live out their daily lives. to watch this film is to appreciate how beautiful and varied nature was; when the earth was not so old and the world belonged to the magnificent and powerful dinosaurs.

Summary: Great for all ages
Review: I ordered this DVD for myself and I loved it. It looks like they actually had cameras filming real dinosaurs. This series is very educational and provides very interesting information. However, it is also very story-like in falling certain dinosaurs throughout their life. It provides a very unique perspective. I also like how the series is divided into distinct segments (e.g. "Giants of the Air" dealing mostly with flying reptiles from that era). The surprise was that my four-year-old son has also fallen in love with this DVD. He wants to watch at least one part of the series every night before he goes to bed. This is a definite "BUY"

Summary: Awesome series...
Review: I'm a big fan of dinosaurs since I was little, so I found this series to be really cool. I liked the graphics it made me say "Woah! " a few times. The DVD version is sold in two disks and the second disk is the making of "Walking With the Dinosaurs". It is really neat to see how they made this, and they put some additional dino animation which I thought was clever and funny. The first disk has a cute menu screen and it presents the dinosaurs and other animals in the land, sea, and air during three different time periods. Although I have a problem with the theory that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, I do dismiss this because it is the popular view point and the series is based on the 'popular theory'. Anyway, I do have to admit that the "Jurassic Park" dinosaurs seemed more real to me than the dinosaurs in this presentation, but I still liked it and would recommend it to anyone interested in walking with the dinosaurs.

Summary: Look how far we've come
Review: An amazing feat of computer generated graphics, this DVD includes the six installment "documentary" on dinosaurs, spanning several dino time periods. Although the documentaries are interesting, the best part of this DVD is the special feature documentary -- done with a touch of humor. One choice of the director was to forego any "This is what we here at the BBC have speculated and decided to do for this recreation of a possible dinosaur scene" and to merely present the stories as fact. This was slightly strange to get used to, but soon I was watching without any thought of computer animation (no doubt the aim of the animators). They even used a "night vision filter" in one of the segments -- quite humorous. Kenneth Branaugh's narration is a joy to listen to, and the script is mostly interesting with a few moments of repetition and tedium. If your child loves dinosaurs, this would be a great choice for their viewing, since it's done in an informative style, and it affords a chance to "view them in their habitat" as opposed to as cute cartoon caricatures or just a stack of bones.

Summary: Walking with Dinosaurs DVD Review: Definitely 5 stars
Review: I bought this DVD because I love watching movies with dinosaurs and since this is a documentary, I'd like to see how real this computer animated documentary would be. All I can say is that I'm very impressed with this documentary because the documentary is so lifelike at times even if it was computer generated. Also, the sound incredible, the video was also crisp and clear. Another major reason why I liked it, you actually learn about dinosaurs that you never heard of in school and from the movies. Wow! This documentary is wonderful! It's six documentary episodes and very exciting and watchable. The added extra of the making which can be turned on or off when you are watching the documentary is pretty cool. I recommend people to keep that special feature on. Also, it comes with a secondary DVD on the making of the documentary and two promos. All I can say is this documentary is worthy purchasing. It's intriguing, it's informative, it's a DVD worthy of being part of your collection. Highly recommended!

Summary: Walking With Dinosaurs...WOW!
Review: I bought the two DVD set for myself and my three-year-old daughter as we both enjoy dinosaurs so much. I knew it was really for adults and was sceptical about letting her view it due to some graphic scenes. As it turned out my daughter was not scared at all, but instead was completely enthralled. I can't break her away from it! "Walking With Dinosaurs" is NOT a smattering of general info on many different dinosaurs. Instead it is a close up look at several different dinosaurs that lived during the three periods of their history. I especially loved the "Giants of the Skys" chapter. It's very dramatic. I also reccomend the DK series Amazing Animals (especially the Prehistoric Animals)for children.
