-IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT THE NIGEL MARVEN TRILOGY THIS IS A AMERICAN VERSION-
I usually end up defending America most of the time on the Internet when they get slandered unrightfully so,
but maybe when it comes to nature documentaries you Yanks should just give up
The depiction of Tylosaurus has not aged well though that's by all means the lesser sin
I get the guy watched Walking with Dinosaurs and wanted to make his own version out of excitement but this was embarrassing,
You're supposed to making a version of a nature documentary with dinosaurs, this felt like a rejected spielberg script
Bad CGI, but lets say I forgive that, why did they bother hiring these fake reenactments for fidning the fossils maybe
spend more money on the Dinosaur CGI, you know, having more than 15 minutes of dinosaur screentime?
Don't say "perhaps they..", you're narrating the story,
No grandiose music, fair enough you cannot afford an orchestra but my god the awful music like it's for a
budget Avatar movie, the use of the whimsical flute just makes me wince, am I waiting for a coming out story for a fish
The editor is awful, just compare the Sea episode scene from Walking with Dinosaurs to this.
What is aboslutely the worst sin of all is that you can tell that they didn't even try, they purposely tried to stretch the footage as much as possible, there's no REAL passion behind it, it's barely moving cgi that's been stretched and reused, either the director didn't care or he hired people that didn't care, but the director has responsibility in the end.
There was no passion for this. No love. It was uninspired and if the director DID really care he would have made sure to not release this incomplete work.
On the bright side, it does remind you how good the Brits were at this, even at pretending they were under attack by a a sea monster they did really well

I didn't see all of it, so this review may be a little off. I saw a 15 minute version at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, where the seats vibrated, water splashed at you and it poked your back. Thankfully, I saw the "back-poker," so I had my back away from the seat. The 3-d imagery was absolutely stunning, and the vibrating seats made me feel like I was in the movie. But the movie was... i don't know. See, all this stuff around you made it feel so cool, that I had NO CLUE about what was going on. And I know this was a "4-D Experience" and all, and it was 15 minutes long, but it followed one story, I know that. Overall, I just wished I'd skipped it and gone explore the aquarium, but sadly, I was with a school group. If your going to see a 4-D thing like this, go see it in Disney World. That stuff is cool.
