Summary: Short, but simple review...
Review: Quite simply, this program is amazing. It presents dinosaurs in an entirely new setting: nature. Superb attention to detail and accuracy with just about everything we know about dinosaurs (with some creative license for the stuff we just don't know). Bottom line on this one: If you have even a passing interest in dinosaurs, you'll want to see this. If you're a dinosaur nut, you can't do without it.

Review: How do you do a TV documentary on dinosaurs? You can't go out into the wild to film them. You also can't catch them to observe and study their behaviour in a zoo. How did they mate? How did they raise their offspring? How did they feed? Many questions, very few answers!There have been many attempts at bringing these magnificent beasts back to life, but it wasn't until computer graphics had advanced to their current stage of perfection that humanity has had the possibility of resurrecting these prehistoric creatures from their obscure graves in a way that actually lets us join in and literally become a part of their daily struggle for survival. As a Christian, I personally prefer the creationistic model of origins to the evolutionistic model proposed in this documentary, but I very highly regard the scientific effort put into the making of this series, giving us a credible scientific guess as to what the lives of these awesome creatures were actually like. As "The Making of..." shows, there was also much effort, quite a bit of imagination, innovation and even a bit of humour put in on the part of the engineering crew in attempting to figure out how these creatures actually moved or mated, sometimes surprising even the palaeontologists. Good work! The DVD, which includes the six-part series, "The Making of..." and several other goodies, is of a very high quality. It will definitely set the standard for any documentaries of this kind in the future. Their is nothing even comparable to it on the market. Don't miss it!

Summary: Simply Awesome
Review: I was interested but figured i'd see another sloppy recreation. Instead I saw dinosaurs - images that will stay with me forever. Better, I saw them in the newer form of nature documentary which combines a story with hard facts. Best of all are the segments where scientist frankly discuss what is known and what is not known. I was riveted and could not stop watching.

Summary: The height of DVD
Review: This DVD covers the six part BBC series and use of animatronics against real background photography. It is a masterwork and is one for your library. How nice it is to know that our children have such a rich wealth of knowledge and interesting way to learn about our planet 200 million years ago.

Summary: The Greatest Documentary Ever Produced - Bar None!
Review: I caught this on the Discovery channel and was blown away by the realistic effects, but little did I realize that the DVD would offer a far superior presentation--- and in 16x9 scope! Kenneth Branaugh gives such a credible narration that brings to life this quasi-documentary, but the effects speak for themselves. You will actually believe that a camera crew had gone back in time and filmed various species of dinosaurs in their natural habitat. From the sound effects to the scales on their backs, these dinosaurs are so convincing, they make Jurassic Park look like an animated Saturday morning cartoon. Don't send the kids to see some Disney cartoon about dinos, buy this DVD and you will feel as though you have purchased a ticket that will take you and the family back in time to witness real living, breathing dinosaurs!

Summary: Almost like real, almost.
Review: I saw the DVD of this series and I was quite impressed by the graphics it had at the main menu. And I was impressed at the graphics throughout the presentation although at times I didn't feel the graphics made the animals real enough. I think the Jurassic Park dinosaurs looked more real than the ones in this series, but I still liked the animation never-the-less. I was skeptical at how they guessed at some actions or reactions a dinosaur might of had, seemed liked they just made it up at times which was reinforced after I watched the disk on how they made the video series. I was disappointed that they didn't make the T-Rex fight the Triceratop, that would of been something to see. I still liked the DVD and it's worth getting.

Summary: One of a kind!
Review: The BBC's 'Walking With Dinosaurs' totally defies classification: a first glance it seems to be a natural history series, with carefully filmed footage and Attenborough-esque narration (provided here by the wonderful English luvvie Kenneth Branagh). But there are no live creatures in the series - just models and computer-generated prehistoric animals! The animation gets better with each era covered, and overall the concept can't really be faulted. Watching this video, you realise how far computer graphics technology has come even in the few years since 'Jurassic Park'. Very impressive.

Summary: Almost great but not quite
Review: The drawings are magnificent but much of the CGI movement lacks the seamless motion of the Jurassic Park films. When close-ups are involved, the film makers used silly looking puppets that somewhat diminishes the effect. The story lines, while interesting are clearly greatly fictionalized. After awhile I found myself thinking, "Come on, how could they have possibly known THAT." But overall it is definitely worth a look and hopefully it will inspire other film makers to continue in this vein.
