The best dinosaur movie by far (2006-11-28)  Both my son and I love this video! The special effects are so realistic you'd swear these dinos are real, especially the Most Dangerous Seas segment. A must see for any dino enthusiast.
Chased by Dinosaurs (2004-06-09)  BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs shows have always been a guilty pleasure of mine, even though each one is more ludicrously inaccurate then the one before it. Still, watching computer generated dinosaurs in simulated nature photography has yet to get old. I live in the US and don't get cable so I have to wait for these shows to appear on DVD in order to watch them. Chased by Dinosaurs adds a new twist to the series, adding Nigel Marvin into the mix. I assume he is Britian's answer to the croc hunter, and he was interesting enough here for me to look for some of his other shows. The croc hunter method of storytelling makes everything much less serious and gives us about 70% less dino screen time then before, but it is still very entertaining and unique. Who doesn't want to see Nigel trying to lure a Sarcosuchus out of the water with a stick? There are five 30 minute episodes on the disc. The first two explore soem of the most interesting mezezoic ecosystems, mid cretaceous south america and late cretaceous Mongolia. It's about time these awesome enviorments got Walking with Dinosaurs treatment, and it really is a pleasure to see Giganotosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Protoceratops and others brought to life by framestore's animators. Anybody with even the most marginal knowledge of dinosaurs will be frustrated by glaring in accuracies, but if viewed soley as entertainment you'll have a good time. This show has much more of dinosaurs fighting and doing "cool stuff" then the other Walking with dinosaurs shows. Then there is the 3 part Sea Monsters show. This show's very theme characterizes the creatures as monsters instead of animals, but again, just view it as entertainment. There is nothing to learn here, but its a really fun 90 minutes and I found myself really getting into it. Since they're throwing people in with the dinosaurs it would have been cool if somebody got eaten, but I suppose you can't have it all.
BBC does it again. (2004-06-07) Excellent series. Reminded me of a cross between Crocodile Hunter, Jurassic Park, and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Getting yourself into danger for no apparent reason like Croc Hunter, exciting dino scenes like Jurassic Park (without the violence), and the sense that no matter how much danger Marlin Perkins seems to be in he won't get hurt like Wild Kingdom. Best for Children (my 3 year old was captivated), but adults can learn a few things too.
Great! (2004-05-26) This thrilling DVD was a joy to watch. Nigel Marvin is great, and his filmed "adventures" in time seem extremely real. I had to sometimes tell myself that this was all scripted and not real. Amazing effects and good "acting" on Nigel's part really made you feel that way. I highly recommend this DVD, and would like to see more made. Let's hope if this happens, Nigel will return, and not be replaced by someone extremely irritating and dim-witted like Steve Irwin, a.k.a the "crocodile hunter".
The best of the Walking With *** Programs (2004-05-25) I've enjoyed the BBC historical programs about prehistoric animals and dinosaurs. I thought this was the best of them, the technology and effects are mature, and the structure as an action animal adventure program is amusing.
