Die letzten Jahre der Dinosaurier

That critic is an useless piece of s***. Dinosaur Planet was an excelent and revolutionary documentary about Dinosaurs. The animals have names but their still was ANIMALS the people who say that animals in this documentary have human emotions honestly they are lobotomized. I worked nearly evergreen films in the realization of this documentary the models was PERFECTS just blinds could say that models are Wrapped in plastic HAHAHA miliman hilarious brainless.

Most people say this is a lot worse than Walking With Dinosaurs. Although Walking With Dinosaurs is more accurate to how dinosaurs actually were, Dinosaur Planet is much more entertaining. Their are some nice visuals in Dinosaur Planet and a lot of action and intense violent scenes. I'd recommend this to anyone who has the slightest interest in dinosaurs. Some people complain that they saw dinosaurs walking on grass. First of all, the "grass" was probably a type of grass-like plant that evolved earlier. Second of all even if it were grass that doesn't ruin the film and only real Dino nerds would care about that too much. Overall this is one of the best dinosaur documentaries ever made.

9.8/10

Four stories of varying quality concerning four dinosaurs and their struggles to survive.

Because its a Discovery Channel Production, the place where the landmark series Walking with Dinosaurs played in the US and because Discovery played up the similarities one will have to make a comparison. In my eyes Walking With Dinosaurs is the clear winner, thats not to say that Dinosaur Planet is bad, its not, its just much too long for what it is.

Where Walking was a semi documentary (but mostly a best guess) on how dinosaurs lived. Here we have hour long stories about the fights for survival of four different animals. We follow them as they try to survive in the various locations they live in with each animal getting name in the narration. Its a dinosaur version of Wild Kingdom. The problem is that each story goes on for an hour. Thats all fine and all but there isn't enough story to hold the attention for an hour for each of the characters, especially since the eat and be eaten theme gets a bit too over played.

I liked it at first, and probably would have enjoyed it more in small bits instead of the four hour marathon I saw it in.

Worth a shot on cable, especially if you love dinosaurs. Not sure about a rental and certainly see it before you buy it.

Dinosaur Planet is another attempt of creating a great documentary about dinosaurs. This one is worth checking out, but by no means is up to par with Walking With Dinosaurs.

The Good: Dinosaur Planet has some attractive visuals and even greater CGI models. Most of the dinosaurs look very accurate and beautifully rendered. The soundtrack is also good as well as the HD sound effects. The idea of portraying a story is a very good concept and is something new different, and fresh.

The Bad: Dinosaur Planet suffers from noticeable flaws which stop it form being as great as documentaries like Walking With Dinosaurs. First off the pacing can be slow at times and 45 minutes is too long to spend on one dinosaurs story. Another problem is that the dinosaurs often do very stupid and unbelievable things. There are a few scientific inaccuracies and other minor quirks that are noticeable throughout some of the scenes as well. It also isn't as action-packed as you'd hope.

Alpha's Egg: 7.9/10

Little Das's Hunt: 7.8/10

Pod's Travels: 8.2/10

Whitetips's Journey: 7.9/10

Overall: 8.0/10

I've only just attained the patience to watch the series in full, but I love it. It does a great job of balancing science and education with entertainment and cartoonishness. (unlike other docs *cough*Dinosaur Revolution) Effects are great for their time, and music's great too.

My problems I do have with it?

• Some scenes do seem to drag on and could be trimmed down from a 45 minute mark.
• Some of the designs and depictions of the animals are dated scientifically to the point of being distracting (pronated zombie hands, not enough correct feathers on theropods).
• Africa and Oceania seem annoyedly left out of the lineup (personal nitpick)

In order of favourites, I rank them: 1. White Tip's Journey 2. Pod's Travels 3. Alpha's Egg 4. Lil' Das' Hunt
