Tuchergson Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

maverick13-46-418711 It's funny. It's fair to say that Walking With Dinosaurs has not aged too well and a lot has changed, yet back in the day there was no doubt this was a groundbreaking series that really helped to portray dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals as simply that...animals, not monsters like Jurassic Park did. It featured a wide variety of animals, many of which I'd never even heard of at the time and the mixture of CGI and animatronics set against real world backgrounds really made it stand out. There have been numerous other dinosaur documentaries since Walking With Dinosaurs and somehow, even when the dinosaurs look up to date, it just doesn't feel the same.If you like dinosaurs, and can look past any glaring inaccuracies (namely some creatures are a lot bigger than we know they are now), give it a watch. You will enjoy it. If you're someone like Krellamp, who can't accept that creatures like Archaeopteryx and Tiktallik are things, then you need to sort out your priorities and learn how to be funny.

Blueghost That's my only beef with this program. And my info could be out of date, but last I read the Smithsonian, in the late 80s (circa 1988 or thereabouts) ran an international symposium where the super-majority of scientists agreed with the new model of the dinosaur was that they were warm blooded (mostly anyway), and had all of the range of motion and features of a lot of modern animals.Beyond that, the first installment of this series has me hooked. Great CGI animation brings to life creatures of millions of years long gone, and like any good wildlife documentary, this program shows the brutal kill or be killed environment that creatures of millenia long gone contended to survive in, including eating their own young to preserve themselves. These are animals with pure basic instincts of survival and territorial domination alone. They know little else. Water comes, they drink, food is either hunted or scavenged if you're a meat eater, otherwise they tear at the primitive ferns and primitive palms that are the forerunners of today's flora.It is as honest a look as you can get. I think of all of the great wild life special s and programs that I have seen throughout the years, and this magic behind this piece is that it attempts to imitate those programs to really give us a sense of the liveliness of these creatures that dominated the Earth long before we came along.But it's not just the animals and insects that are showcased here, but the natural environment. We are shown a bare-bones earth. One where grass has yet to evolve. One where primitive seedlings give rise to a limited number of plants. One where the Earth itself is a tropical over much of its surface; where there are no polar ice caps. This is Earth in the raw, as it perhaps was meant to be and is headed towards now regardless of man's activities. This is more than just prehistoric Earth, this is primordial Earth, when it was young, and life was just beginning to take root and feel its way around.Gone are charts showing what creatures developed where and from what other creatures. We're not given other graphics describing postulated bone structures from fragments of fossils, nor are we given the long winded and sometimes boring video lecture on geophysics and how it impacted species development on a young Earth. No, we are merely given how it was like back then to our best approximation and understanding based on the natural forensics that scientists the world over have studied for over a century.And the effort pays off with some very nice animation of creatures that we may never see again on the face of this planet.If you're into natural history, or just have a mild curiosity about what life and the environment were like ages ago, then give this show a chance.Enjoy.

TheLittleSongbird "Walking with Dinosaurs" is absolutely brilliant in every regard. Kenneth Branagh narrates in a way that really makes you want to listen. The script for the documentary really sounds as though the researchers and writers had done their homework, it is so insightful and it does get you hooked and never lets go. The music is also brilliant, very dramatic when it needs to be. But the visual effects and scenery are what makes this documentary work so well. The scenery is breathtaking, and the dinosaurs look so real, thanks to the simply astounding effects. This is so informative with such a good concept and attracts not only adults but kids too.In conclusion, this is a must watch. Not only did I love this, but this is quite possibly the best documentary I have ever seen. If anything, it could have done with being longer, other than that this is perfect. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Kevstros00 I viewed "Walking with Dinosaurs" in my Geology class last week. I can honestly say this is the first movie I've ever seen at school that I would buy to watch over and over again at home. The graphics and the stories are simply amazing. Since scientists have only fossils to go by, they of course do not know as much about dinosaurs as they would have us believe. However, the graphics and story lines in this film give you a feel for how the Dinosaurs "probably" were. Many of the scenes resemble wildlife shows in which they follow a lion on the hunt, or an antelope escaping danger. I found myself actually pulling for a turtle to get to the sea, before a gigantic mammal weighing over a ton ate him. The graphics are better than Jurassic Park, however, unlike Jurassic Park, the information is insightful, giving the audience a visual feel for how scientist believe ancient creatures acted. If you're interested in Science, History, or Dinosaurs then you will love this film. If you are a science teacher, show your kids this film! They will love it.
