The great thing about this veteran national treasure is that he can make almost anything interesting - and he doesn't have to try very hard here. Go to Full Review

It wasn't all that long ago that this sort of short, lightly scientific, flashy documentary was pretty much all you could see at Imax cinemas. Now they are used fill up the gaps between the likes of Sucker Punch and Avatar. Go to Full Review

"Monsters" is informative, cogent and a word one wouldn't usually associate with 80-foot-tall films about dinosaurs: charming. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International 10/07/2011
Behind the hard-sell title and trailers lies an informative, child-friendly documentary about the evolutionary development and legacy of pterodactyls and other winged reptiles that should enjoy a long run at museums and science centers. Go to Full Review

It's one thing watching a science fiction movie with its clutch of exotic creatures, but it's quite another watching a documentary in IMAX 3D that puts us within touching distance of a flying pterosaur the size of a giraffe 220 million yeas ago Go to Full Review

02/06/2014 Be sure to import the 70 minute British extended cut rather than the needless cut down American version. But for the original cut this is a fantastic look at the science behind this unique group of extinct creatures. The program is both education with great facts about the evolution and lifestyle of these animals and features awesome animated recreations of their lives and all done in stunning 3D. If Attenborough's name is attached you are sure to have a great program and this great 3D documentary is no exception See more 01/28/2014 My favourite creator / narrator and subject matter together at last. I can die happy now. See more 01/28/2014 My favourite creator / narrator and subject matter together at last. I can die happy now.
