Ein Planet vor unserer Zeit

It was advertised as Planet Earth with Dinosaurs, and, that's what we got. It's nice to get truth in advertising for once. I just wish the series itself was longer (only 5 episodes?) and the behind-the-scenes looks were more in-depth. I wanted to hear more about the science behind how they knew all this stuff. Overall, really well done.

I am basing this little review off the first episode alone; it looks amazing. All of the animals behave in believable ways, and it's cool to see many creatures that we never have before. Although not explicitly spelled out for any slow audience members, it's clear alot of research and (very well educated) guesswork went into the series. There is a section to explain the science of some of the claims presented in the show, for anyone who has a hard time believing what their seeing as well. 9/10 CGI is choppy every once in a while when ocean creatures breach the water surface.

I'll keep it short: The visuals are nearly perfectly photorealistic, especially the animations deserve all the praise they can get. On top of that the sound design is really strong. Both are extra supported by an amazing soundtrack.

The documentary style is pleasant to watch but the hopping from one short story to the next doesn't leave the same impact as when we'd follow one dinosaur for a longer time.

The accuracy of certain scenes is questionable. Some speculation is easily passed of as fact.

These two tiny points keep this series from being a 10 for me. But it is still an incredible series, one that I'll surely revisit many times in the coming years. I hope it does well because even though the first season hasn't fully finished airing, I already want a second one.

Is there anything better than settling in with a cup of tea and a nature show narrated by David Attenborough?!??? YES. Yes there is.

A DINOSAUR nature show narrated by David Attenborough.

'Nuf said.

I have ALWAYS LOVED Dinosaurs, ever since I can remember, and at 65 that's a Pretty long while! And THIS, WOW, THIS, is one of the most AMAZING Things I have EVER seen!

Hell, I'll take THIS over ANY of the "Jurassic Park" movies ANY DAY! The CG is FLAWLESS! And of Course they could not have picked. Finer Narrator than " David Attenborough" (spelling? ) he was absolutely PERFECT for this!

This is a GEM for the entire family to enjoy! You will NEVER find a better Documentary on Dinosaurs ANYWHERE!

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they made this documentary mandatory watching in elementary schools in junior high's and even high school for students interested in prehistoric animals! If you have children this is a MUST SEE for them! My Gtandson is only 2 and he's GLUED to it!

You won't be sorry! .... WATCH!
