Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Please don't spend money on this.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
My kids absolutely adored this movie! They couldn't stop watching it! I remember them walking around town like they were pretending to be t-rexes! I was absolutely embarrassed but was it worth it? Dang right it is! How did this not receive the award it got nominated for
I guess it contains some useful info about dinosaurs, but seriously this idiot would be dead within 2 minutes of going back in time. Do you seriously think anyone with half a brain would take a plastic dinghy down a croc infested river (many times the size of todays croc's) and survive. Does anyone really believe they would then be able to catch one of these monsters with a few wooden poles and some rope. Not to mention walking through the forest unarmed and by yourself, and then stating Im really worried about this particular dinosaur as we have already seen a couple and they hunt in packs, obviously not to worried or you might take a few precautions. Then we have the park itself were the fences are all made of wood which most of the dinosaurs present would break in half without even trying. Then we have the ridiculous case of this 50 odd year old guy and one of his workers of the same age outrunning a T Rex over a few hundred metres. Seriously they wouldn't have got more then a few metres. Then to top it off in many cases they only bring one animal of a species back, didn't anyone explain the birds and the bees to this guy. This is only basically one episode I've talked about but I imagine the other 5 are much the same. This program is absolute crap, they should have just don't a documentary on all the prehistoric animals instead of this rubbish.
Yes it is rather silly, but it does have a great concept. I was not expecting another Walking With Dinosaurs, which is one of the best documentaries I have ever watched in my life, but Preehistoric Park is a lot of fun. I really like David Jason, and while he has done better, he does a good job as narrator. Nigel Marvin is also really entertaining, he is very likable and clearly has a lot of enthusiasm for this. As well as being introduced to these wonderful dinosaurs, the special effects I thought were mind blowing, the T Rex especially was exceptionally well done. I also really liked the music. Overall, Prehistoric Park was silly but my sister and I learnt quite a lot and loved it all the same. 8/10 Bethany Cox
What a brilliant series. I can not believe its finished. I pray they do another series soon. I have a little boy, he is 3 and loves the show so much we had to buy the DVD for the series the day it came out in the shops. He has a great love for Dinosaurs and now even knows all the cast by name. The DVD has a few extras on it. I only wish the making of it had been a little longer . Its amazing how much we both learnt about our changing planet from the time when there was no grass to the first man. I even forgot that they were not real, especially with Martha the mammoth. I fell in love with her. the effects are brilliant. they have come along way since Jurassic park. All the cast are great, bob had me in stitches all the time. Well done ITV Saturdays wont be the same until it returns.
