Rating: Summary: The Most Amazing DVD You'll Ever See Review: When I first saw the previews for this show on DSC, I got so excited. When I finally watched this three hour spectacle, I was amazed beyond natural belief. The computer animation combined with state-of-the-art animatronics worked perfectly to show viewers what dinosaur life might actually be like, using facts, hypothesis, and a little imagination. The dinos look, move, and sound excellent. I highly recommend buying this DVD because it is very informative but most importantly, fun and extremely entertaining. Good for all ages.
Rating: Summary: Very believable documentary Review: The automations were so well done that it was as if they travelled to where the dinosaurs were and filmed them in the wild like they do lions in Africa. Wonderfully fascinating!
Rating: Summary: Almost fabulous Review: The content is fascinating, the preparatory work enormous, and the result is hypnotic - couldn't stop watching. Note that the sound is NOT AC-3 as advertised. It is "dolby surround" but not 5.1, AC-3, or DTS. The latter designations are not claimed on the packaging, either.
Rating: Summary: In a word, amazing Review: I honestly can't think of a single bad thing to say about this DVD. The video transfer is breathtaking, the sound glorious, and the content itself absolutely remarkable. A lifelong dinosaur enthusiast and aspiring paleontology major, I absolutely loved it--yes, some of it is conjecture, but it's informed, thought-provoking conjecture, and any informed individual would tell you that that's precisely what much of paleontology is. This series will undoubtedly serve as the definitive vision of dinosaurs for years to come. On the technical side of things, the DVD is indeed in anamorphic widescreen with an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. In summation, if you've ever loved dinosaurs, you cannot live without this DVD.
Rating: Summary: Entertaining AND Informative--Bravo! Review: I was quite excited to see this film, and I wasn't disappointed! It blends fact with speculation in a very palatable way. The film quality was spectacular, and I highly recommend watching this in the best way possible--on DVD with surround! Not just a movie about dinosaurs trampling humans and generally running amok--you see it all here. Mating, eating, pooping, interacting with other species. Sure to make you think while enjoying the show!
Rating: Summary: The best DVD made, A glorious dino-docu-drama Review: The first hour was fun but when they got to the under sea part, I was in love. It was like the old days when my favorite show was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, without the people. Kenneth B. voice was just right. A must for everyones DVD Library. A bit violent for small children but life isn't always pretty. I can see it being played in schools.
Rating: Summary: What? Not in widescreen? Review: I was truly excited about getting this for the family until I realized it is only in 4:3 format. Forget it. All recently-produced DVDs (I'll allow for certain classics to remain in original 4:3) should be in widescreen...anamorphic widescreen is best. I will not buy anything else.
Rating: Summary: Natural Pre-History Review: When I first saw Walking with Dinosaurs on the BBC, I was astonished, It was like watching a nature documentary, rather than a show about dinosaurs, with the palentologists talking and giving thier theorys, just pure magic. Its the way i`ve always wanted to see dinosaur shows depicted on TV. Any show that follows this has a lot of work to do. This reveiw is of the Televison Series.
Rating: Summary: Forget about the facts Review: This movie is about the best 3D animation ever and the best computerized special effects, So what if they said unproved stuff, The movie is worth for its special effects alone!
Rating: Summary: What a neat film on dinosaurs! Review: This is a good film about dinosaurs, i saw jurassic park and really liked it but now this is much better. This is better because the dinosaurs are the main thing in it. They look real and are very interesting in their stories. I would recommend this for other children but not too young because there are some scenes that might make them afraid or unhappy to be seeing dinosaurs killed by other dinosaurs. The Dinosaurs are very colorful and have great detail, including how they lived-what they ate-and how they moved around. I would say you should look into buying or renting this because it is a whole new level in special effects and very very enjoyable.
