Beautiful, moving film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Throughout these series of programs I had the strangest feeling that I was watching episodes of Blue Peter (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051257/). I kept expecting Auntie Val Singleton to spring out from behind a tree advising you "not to try this at home".Having never been a David Jason fan I had a few qualms about the voice-over but agree with a previous contributor that the timbre of Jason's voice does not work very well for narration. (Sorry Del-boy.) Most of the budget of this production was obviously allocated to the CGI. The only "actor" who feigned any real interest was Marven with his matter-of-fact and, at times very relaxed, attitude about potentially risking his life among prehistoric carnivorous beasts - most of which would have seen him as a tasty morsel of protein to supplement their meagre diets.I admit that it must be difficult acting for Green-Screen but everyone else appeared to be either confused or displaying tongue-in-cheek humour about what was happening which didn't help with the credibility.Final analysis - fun for the kids to watch.

Sometimes the presentation seems a bit contrived, especially with the park manager.Having said that, it is a refreshing brainstorm come to life that combines paleo-documentary, science fiction and the best of modern computer technology.The other tantalizing feature is that it is a coming out for many prehistoric animals - that most of the population have not heard of. The woolly mammoth, T-Rex and the like have been used and abused and discussed and rediscussed. Putting these less known creatures in the spotlight will hopefully revive public interest in times long gone and re-captivate our imagination.To sum it up: even if some of it seems a little cheesy, look past it and a whole new world will open up to you.

OK heres the dillio. This show is the bomb. It shows amazing CGI effects and good , slightly over-done acting. I love it. If you don't get the show torrent it. I found five episodes , the sixth should be up in a few days. Many people say that this is a rip-off of Walking with Dinosaurs and Walking with Prehistoric Beasts. Interesting theory but no. This show was done by the makers of the Walking with series. Some of the animals had a makeover ( phorusracus , meganeura) but some are the same (mammoth , arthropleura , giant scorpion , etc.). This show follows Nigel Marvin who also played himself in two other walking with specials (The Giant Claw , Land of Giants , Chased by Sea Monsters) . So , if you can stand the overacting give this show a watch.PS. BOB ROCKS!!!

It is quite a unique approach - trying to convert Jurassic Park into a pseudo-documentary, and on the whole it does work quite well.For a start, more animals are "met", than in the aforementioned film, and whilst that had multi-million dollar special effects, the ones in this series are still pretty good.Whilst it can be slow at times, and some of the dialog can be a bit stilted and a bit cheesy, Nigel does make the program interesting and describes the animals in an interesting way.I do have some technical problems with it though, mainly : They assume that the vegetation that we have now would be suitable. It also seems they wont have enough for all the animals (from the ground views that we've had).The pens are made out of wood - and don't look terribly strong either. After all, if a T-Rex can cause havoc with metallic cages, what would 2 T-Rex's do with wooden pens ? Perhaps in the last episode, everyone & everything gets eaten :) Nigel doesn't have any weapons, which is a bit stupid...Who owns the park, and where does the money come from - there are no visitors... Perhaps its InGen ?!
