Dinosaur Planet

That critic is an useless piece of s***. Dinosaur Planet was an excelent and revolutionary documentary about Dinosaurs. The animals have names but their still was ANIMALS the people who say that animals in this documentary have human emotions honestly they are lobotomized. I worked nearly evergreen films in the realization of this documentary the models was PERFECTS just blinds could say that models are Wrapped in plastic HAHAHA miliman hilarious brainless.

Dinosaur Planet is another attempt of creating a great documentary about dinosaurs. This one is worth checking out, but by no means is up to par with Walking With Dinosaurs.

The Good: Dinosaur Planet has some attractive visuals and even greater CGI models. Most of the dinosaurs look very accurate and beautifully rendered. The soundtrack is also good as well as the HD sound effects. The idea of portraying a story is a very good concept and is something new different, and fresh.

The Bad: Dinosaur Planet suffers from noticeable flaws which stop it form being as great as documentaries like Walking With Dinosaurs. First off the pacing can be slow at times and 45 minutes is too long to spend on one dinosaurs story. Another problem is that the dinosaurs often do very stupid and unbelievable things. There are a few scientific inaccuracies and other minor quirks that are noticeable throughout some of the scenes as well. It also isn't as action-packed as you'd hope.

Alpha's Egg: 7.9/10

Little Das's Hunt: 7.8/10

Pod's Travels: 8.2/10

Whitetips's Journey: 7.9/10

Overall: 8.0/10

Most people say this is a lot worse than Walking With Dinosaurs. Although Walking With Dinosaurs is more accurate to how dinosaurs actually were, Dinosaur Planet is much more entertaining. Their are some nice visuals in Dinosaur Planet and a lot of action and intense violent scenes. I'd recommend this to anyone who has the slightest interest in dinosaurs. Some people complain that they saw dinosaurs walking on grass. First of all, the "grass" was probably a type of grass-like plant that evolved earlier. Second of all even if it were grass that doesn't ruin the film and only real Dino nerds would care about that too much. Overall this is one of the best dinosaur documentaries ever made.

9.8/10

I've only just attained the patience to watch the series in full, but I love it. It does a great job of balancing science and education with entertainment and cartoonishness. (unlike other docs *cough*Dinosaur Revolution) Effects are great for their time, and music's great too.

My problems I do have with it?

• Some scenes do seem to drag on and could be trimmed down from a 45 minute mark.
• Some of the designs and depictions of the animals are dated scientifically to the point of being distracting (pronated zombie hands, not enough correct feathers on theropods).
• Africa and Oceania seem annoyedly left out of the lineup (personal nitpick)

In order of favourites, I rank them: 1. White Tip's Journey 2. Pod's Travels 3. Alpha's Egg 4. Lil' Das' Hunt

No one and nothing is perfect. Even masterpieces have their flaws, but that doesn't mean they're not masterpieces anymore! You can make a legitimately quality piece of art and yet still find flaws in it here and there and that's totally natural and a normal part of life. To expect anything to be "perfect" is a foolish hill to stand on. Dinosaur Planet is not perfect but is nowhere even NEAR "bad" or "mediocre" in ANY way whatsoever.

If you love dinosaurs, documentaries, nature and history, then this is the miniseries for you! It's a beautifully crafted and intense 4 episode animated adventure set in Prehistoric times. Most of the gorgeous and breathtakingly-immersive visuals still hold up, with some minor scientific inconsistencies and jarring effects, but what can you say for something that was made waaay back in 2003? There WILL be some dated scenes, just like with ALL other movies, shows, games and more that were also made in the early-mid 2000s and even earlier! Again, it's just a natural part of life. And real world Dino science isn't even 100% accurate anyways! It's all STILL just GUESSWORK. STOP the nitpicks! Just STOP.

I first watched this masterpiece of a Dino series as a young boy and STILL love and enjoy it to this DAY as a GROWN MAN. It's truly remarkable and so underrated. STILL. HOLDS. UP!

The music is so well done and fits every moment, the man the myth the legend CHRISTIAN SLATER absolutely NAILS it out of the ballpark with his, as always, fantastic, warm, soft, soothing, raspy and lovely All-American voice work narration and all the dinosaur models and storytelling are all SO well done!

And so WHAT if some of the dinosaurs have names, like Alpha, Das, Pod and so on?? Are you THIS stuck up, pathetic and miserable in life to not appreciate and enjoy some good, fun, emotional and beautiful storytelling?!

While there is a sweet realistic and educational edge throughout the series via an experienced, veteran Paleontologist in the field, this is STILL a *FICTIONAL and DRAMATIC set of STORIES*!! So, with STORIES, we absolutely NEED characters to latch onto.

It's fun and thrilling to see a pack of Velociraptors, led by Broken Hand, roaming through the Gobi desert, the baby Sauropod, named Alpha, attempting to navigate through a harsh and merciless world of uncertainty, a baby calf, named Little Das, belonging to a family of apex predators who were, at the time, the great ancestors of one of history's most feared and iconic tyrant lizards kings of all time, the TYRANNOSAURUS REX, and so on!

Of course you can always do without names, but it doesn't RUIN anything WHATSOEVER if you DO have names in it. The most popular dinosaur franchise of all time, JURASSIC PARK, has officially nicknamed their star dinosaur, the T-Rex, "Rexy" and yet everyone, of ALL ages, STILL loves those movies AND all those dinosaurs! Get real, people. Get REAL.

And what is all the complaining with the runtimes?? Never felt slow at all to me! I can NEVER get ENOUGH sweet, sweet, QUALITY Dinosaur content. It can be truly mesmerizing to just see them living in the world. You don't need action and talking all the damn time. Just enjoy some plain and organic NATURE every once in a while, how about ya!!!

Doesn't matter how OLD you are or if there's a bunch of wonderful, awe-inspiring, NAMED dinosaur characters in this or not, EVERYONE can enjoy this and take away something valuable from this amazing, glorious, HIGHLY entertaining and GROUNDBREAKING, LANDMARK American animated documentary miniseries!

Temper your expectations and just have some good ol' fashion Prehistoric FUN! 😌🙏😄🙌🎢
