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.

tankace Dinosaur Revolution is not in part with its predecessors of Walking with Dinosaurs fame and to say the truth does not even deserve to be called a documentary,more like a over styled cartoon. To say the truth I had to figure ti out went in any break I saw "This show is sponsored by Nissan". It could have been called "A Nissan commercial with Dinosaurs" and it wouldn't make any difference. So why did this revisit of the Mesozoic epoch failed so badly?For starters the CGI is a over the places and it looks uglier than those in Walking ,who were more than a decade older in the time of the release of this documentary. The reasons ,for this was that the project had more than one animation team and so the models could not be constant. An other was the program was at first going to be in total about twelve hours long and in was cut in just four, so many parts look broken. One more ,which I sensually tell if this was to make fun of the audiences or to ridiculed themselves, was that many of the stories showed were based on Looney Tunes cartoons, WHY IN GOD EARTH??!?1?Also an other factor was the studio interference ,which made some of the scientist working in the project disown their work in it. Man you it is bad when even your crew deserts you. To the dinosaurs again, they are depicted human like and the sad fact is that some of the designs are quit accurate, like the raptors, but if you have them act in this manner then your work lose credibility's.To conclude it was painful see the real life dragons be treated like that for profit and the advancements in the study of their lives going back to a preschool level. In the end ,no matter the project if your team isn't loyal to it and the leaders want to do it only for money ,is going to be a disappointment.

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.

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.
