Summary: Where's the realism
Review: What made the "Walking With..." series worth seeing was the creation of photo-like moving pictures of prehistoric animals as they may of been. "Walking With Cavemen" falls far short of this. Modern humans have bigger heads and higher foreheads than early Hominids. Putting actors in monkey suits results in unbeleivable pictures of early ape-men with big heads and high foreheads.
This series has always tended to spoil the images with cheap melodrama, and this one even more so. In real biology the herbivores have to greatly outnumber the carnivores. In the "Walking With..." movies they always seem to have a world where its the other way round.
Give us more beautiful images, and less violence.

Summary: Alec Baldwin Explains It All
Review: When watching "Walking With Cavemen" which is a very-well produced educational film - I could not help but laugh every time Alec Baldwin appeared on camera. There's just something so goofy about him - that you half expect, at any moment, he will drop a 2 million year old skull smashing it into 10,000 pieces. And that hair of his! Can you imagine how much more entertaining this film would be if each succeeding proto-human species donned a hair style that was slowly, inexorably, evolving to look like Alec Baldwin's? "And here's Cro-Magnon Man, whose demise would have come eons earlier had it not been for the fantastic hair styling technique they developed 200,000 years ago. A hair style that is still widely in use today...", as Mr. Baldwin winks at the camera. The "Walking with..." series is ripe for parody - if it's not already a parody of itself.
