Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

countmustard I can understand the hardships of CGI, but this is a sorry excuse for this movie. The animals act too human-like and not enough like animals. The dinosaurs are unrealistically colored and there are sound effects every 2 seconds as their on camera. unfortunately, this is a flaw in many documentaries, and I wish that there could be a documentary that fixes all of these flaws, and Dinosaur Revolution acts like it did... but it failed at doing so.But on the bright side, at least they tried to do so, and I have to give them credit for adding feathers to their dinosaurs. Turns out it was meant to be a comedy rather than a documentary, so...yeah.

unclegerald2004 This cartoon is as educational as Spongebob Squarepants. This program is dangerous as it masquerade as something educational, but it's pure cartoon taking extinct creatures and creating a Disney/World Wrestling Entertainment-type drama.This entire program is based on iddy biddy tiny bits of actual facts (i.e. giant raptor) and piling on so much artistic/entertainment privileges like color, mating behaviors, family scenarios, close misses, surprise twist endings, "color flashing" etc... It's just a cartoon with little or no educational value.This show is what the WWE is to wrestling. Not real, not educational, just fake.

RogerBorg Take a smattering of randomly themed vignettes, add some excitable paleopublicists, curiously proportioned and bizarrely animated models, throw them together, blend, and pour.Is this entertainment? Education? I'm really not sure, and neither is it. Some paleontological background is presented, but in a token way, with a few stock shots of hammer wielding Indiana Jones style field workers cutting to a hand waving exposition of the conclusions, with no connection between the two. Science by assertion.Pragmatically though, all television is a way to attract eyeballs for advertisers, and this series is clearly aimed at doing just that.To its credit, there is an underlying theme to each episode, such as parental care. But this is illustrated with tiny minidramas, jumping around between eras and species in a disjointed way that prevents any subject being explored in depth.And there are also some highly spurious scenarios, presumably thrown together more for re-use of models or raw drama than through any suggestion from their tame pseudo-science mouthpieces - giant killer mosquitoes, being a standout example.The animation is passable, barely. Strangely staccato, it's more reminiscent of Harryhousen than Jurassic Park. Since the latter was made twenty years ago, there's little excuse for such jerky, hesitant beasts that float and waft through their environments without any interaction.All of this I could forgive, but for one thing: the comedy anthropomorphisation of the stars, with a side line in puppyish behaviour.Apparently the way to sell dinosaurs now is to have them react like people or our favourite contemporary beasts, to project human problems and emotions and reactions on to them.Dinosaurs perform double-takes, females sport rounded, darkly lined eyes - I could swear that some of them were batting lashes. A sleepless night leads to a tired, grumpy dinosaur during the day. It's an animal! If it's tired, it will just lie down and sleep, problem solved.This theme continues through the episodes that I bothered to watch, but eventually I realised that I was watching popular entertainment that simply isn't very entertaining.

qabala This miniseries was much disliked by its' viewers.That said, yes it had fairly jerky animation, and yes, it had many silly and/or gory moments.So if the above makes you feel this production is not worth your time, I've already gotten the critique out of the way. However, if you, like me, have more than just a passing interest in dinosaurs, you are in for a real treat.For all of its' quirkiness, this series is the first of its' kind to set up its' species as characters that the viewer can be invested in. If I were you, I'd be protesting that "Walking With Dinosaurs" already accomplished that, but you'd be wrong.Anyone who's ever dealt with snakes or alligators will tell you that even they have their "adorable" moments. This series takes that angle as well. We see these animals as clumsy and imperfect, with personality and quirks. Another twist is the illustration of some species fighting to survive AFTER the well-known asteroid impact.Dinosaur Revolution takes a sympathetic view of its' subjects, even T-Rex. It is obvious that this series was not meant to have narration or "talking head" interviews as each subject has more than enough personality to carry each story. The problem was the late revision to present this as a documentary, rather than a docudrama.The article here says that the producers are re-editing this series to reflect the original vision. If so, I'd be happy to see it, but I'd be surprised if anyone would change their opinions on it. The criticisms about the animation are justified. The silliness, however, I found endearing.I'd say this video would do well as a foil between viewings of other CGI dinosaur documentaries. It fleshes these species out in a way that has never been, and likely will never be, done by anyone else.If nothing else, consider this the, intentionally, campy dinosaur documentary.
