Prehistoric Park Audience Reviews

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
bebop63-1 This TV program is apparently taking bits and pieces out of the Walking With Dinosaurs and Beasts series, combining with the more exciting portions of the Jurassic Park movies then embellishing with sections of Steve Irwin's wildlife documentaries, all in the hope of creating an "original" series. Well, didn't work with me. It does have its highlights, such as introducing obscure and relatively little-known creatures like the giant millipede and eagle-sized dragonfly, but the downsides far outweigh it. Surely even pre-school viewers would know that wooden enclosures are woeful insufficient to safely contain TWO T-Rexes. And if the aim of the park was to preserve and propagate prehistoric wildlife, why did Nigel and company choose to time-travel back to when the species were nearly extinct (as in the case of the smilodons and mammoth) and not when they were at the height of their glory?And how would they expect to breed more triceratops if they brought back only one male? It is highly entertaining for the CGIs (Computer generated images) of the animals but for educational purposes, it leaves a lot to be desired.
sportykat The series is educational, interesting and funny. I got the box set and i enjoy watching it. Alomst everyone in my family does, we have not had the disk that long but it has already been watched millions of times, and I'm surprised it hasn't broken. Each episode focuses on a different time so no matter which part of the prehistoric history you are interested in, it will be there with plenty of fun clips and facts. Another bonus is that the animation is excellent and at times believable. As well as facts there is a story with each one, sometimes sad and sometimes scary. For anyone this is a great series and well worth watching!
redeyedtreefrog 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.
jmtrc This program was show here in Australia right before another program "The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs" was show on another channel. The latter actually had serious, interesting stuff to say along with all the pretty CGI, and certainly made this show seem rather insipid. Even after accepting the device of time-travel, this quasi-documentary doesn't hold up high in the credibility stakes. Waist-high wooden fences? Really.Still, for pre-teens, this ought to hold the attention, with the novelty of the palaeontologist dodging the big creatures, and throwing in a sprinkling of prehistoric factoids. Nothing revolutionary, however.
