DVD REVIEW:

I bought this DVD because I love watching movies with dinosaurs and since this is a documentary, I’d like to see how real this computer animated documentary could be.  All I can say is that I’m very impressed with this documentary because the documentary is so lifelike at times even if it was computer generated.  Also, the sound incredible, the video was also crisp and clear.

Another major reason why I liked it, you actually learn about dinosaurs that you never heard of in school and from the movies.  Wow!

This documentary is wonderful!  It’s six documentary episodes and very exciting and watchable.  The added extra of the making which can be turned on or off when you are watching the documentary is pretty cool.  I recommend people to keep that special feature on.

Also, it comes with a secondary DVD on the making of the documentary and two promos.

All I can say is this documentary is worthy purchasing.  It’s intriguing, it’s informative, it’s a DVD worthy of being

Take the ultimate journey back in time to the reign of the dinosaurs!  State-of-the-art digital effects and animatronics by the Emmy Award-winning FrameStore Group (“The Odyssey,” “Merlin,” and “Gulliver’s Travels”) combine to form living, breathing images that put you in the scene of a virtual lost world.  Using the latest scientific findings, “Walking With Dinosaurs” examines the 155-million-year history of these great creatures, from the aggressive Coelophysis, who first learned to hunt in packs, to Tyrannosaurus Rex, the most terrifying carnivore on the planet.  Feel the ground tremble as dueling Triceratops lock hors, and soar with Ornithocheirus, who could travel over 300 miles on a single wing flap.

Narrated by Kenneth Branagh, this expanded video edition contains fascinating additional material not included on Discover Channel broadcasts, giving you the most comprehensive and exciting view of prehistoric life ever created!
