KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

TheLittleSongbird Yes it is rather silly, but it does have a great concept. I was not expecting another Walking With Dinosaurs, which is one of the best documentaries I have ever watched in my life, but Preehistoric Park is a lot of fun. I really like David Jason, and while he has done better, he does a good job as narrator. Nigel Marvin is also really entertaining, he is very likable and clearly has a lot of enthusiasm for this. As well as being introduced to these wonderful dinosaurs, the special effects I thought were mind blowing, the T Rex especially was exceptionally well done. I also really liked the music. Overall, Prehistoric Park was silly but my sister and I learnt quite a lot and loved it all the same. 8/10 Bethany Cox

ignazia 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.

chrisandkellie With an excellent blending of computer graphics and live action filming this series brings dinosaurs to life in a way no other series has. The combination of anthropology and current day zoology makes for an enlightening look into the lives of dinosaurs. Our 5 year old son absolutely loves Prehistoric Park and watches each of the 6 currently available episodes repeatedly. Prehistoric Park has replaced Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Curious George and all his other cartoon favorites. It's all he wants to watch. All I can say is, Thank You TiVo. Without it my son would not be able to get his daily dose of Prehistoric Park. He constantly asks me to check the website to see if another episode is finally available. Even his older brothers ages 13 and 10 find this series interesting and eagerly await a new episode featuring another prehistoric animal whether dinosaur or ice age mammal. As for the adults in the family, we find the antics of Nigel and his staff as entertaining as the dinosaurs. Admittedly there are some parts that will make the more mature roll his or her eyes but that is also part of the charm of the show and what draws the younger viewers.

ozbear I haven't seen the Bugs episode yet, which I am looking forward too but so far my reaction is mixed. The CGI effects vary greatly in quality, e.g., the Wolly Mammoth was actually pretty good, while the saber-toothed tigers were so-so, and the T-Rex was, well, just another T-Rex. What I don't care for is the lack of logic. If one can make multiple trips back, to various epochs, why always turn up when just a few of whatever you are looking to preserve are still alive? It is nice that some attempt is made to actually tell a story and add some emotion, such as with the saber-tooth cubs, but during some episodes a fast-forward button helps to bypass long tracks of not too much happening. I will give an acting award to the park veterinarian. When she is speaking about how well a given beast is doing in recovery you really do get the feeling that she is talking about a real animal. Overall I am giving it a middle score. Good for kids, and something you can talk with them about after the show is over, but probably won't have great interest holding potential for the majority of adults.
