Prehistoric Earth: A Natural History (Before the Dinosaurs: Walking With Monsters / Walking With Dinosaurs / Allosaurus / Walking With Prehistoric Beasts / Walking With Cavemen)  Rating: Rating:  - Prehistoric Earth DVDExcellent Video. I highly recommend these videos to any Dinosaur enthusiast or to any Science teacher out there. It is worth watching these videos with your entire class. Great Educational tool. Rating:  - Very good, but........It`s entertaining and the cgi visuals are excellent. But keep in mind that much of what you see in the films is best guess or even made up. It`s really more of an entertainment program than a real documentary. But keeping that in mind, watch it. It is very entertaining and your kids will love it. Rating:  - story timethis is a fiction story advertised and sold as a non-fiction fact.... the narrator makes only subtle hits to this fact. when paying as much as this film was and expecting a non-fiction story i got robbed. this item should be categorized with movie as fiction. i was offended as to the way the narrator made constant remarks throwout the story that this is a factual story that it had to be this way or that because of this and that when we all know no one has any true knowledge or facts of this time era. the only thing i found nice in this story was the filmography had some very nice nature scenes. i would not rec amend this story to anyone i would rec amend to watch a story like Jurassic park first. Rating: - fascinatingReading Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene" parallel with watching episodes of this awesome vdieo series (not intentionally) really was a moving experience. I knew halfway through TSG I would never look at humans the same way again, and was awstruck by the awesome power of evolution in relation to the age of the earth. I was curious how accurate this video series would be, but it is very accurate. It covers almost all aspects of evolutionary theory including animal aggression, kin altruism and of course the evolutionary adaptations that various species have gone through in their millions of years of existence. This is worth the money you pay because there are plenty of hours of video and each "period" is covered from the earliest sea animals through the dinosaurs to land animals and humans. The video is all computer generated, obviously, since no video footage could possibly exist for our ancestors (did I even need to say that? haha), but it's well made. It isn't very cheesy at all. I highly recommend this video series for anyone interested in the theory of evolution and behavior of these fascinating animals...our distant relatives! (creationist nutcases: save yourself the time and money). |
