GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
tomcomer-41751 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
Samiam3 Following in the prehistoric footsteps of 'Chased by Dinosaurs', creator/producer Time Haines has brought Nigel Marvin back for a new program, of prehistoric safari. Six episodes, and dozens of new creatures, Prehistoric Park, takes things one step further (or at least it promises to). In the end it takes one step backwards, and here is why.This series is more focused on show than science, and it goes a little over the top, occasionally reaching a level of gimmicky. Nigel Marvin and his team are setting up a Jurrasic Park kind of Facility. Using a time portal, Marvin intends to go back in time to various points in prehistory and return with creatures that are endangered at those time periods. If you are not bothered by the absurdity, you will certainly find the program cute, but it can be equally annoying at times. When Steven Spielberg made Jurassic Park, he claimed that he wanted to show animals, not monsters. Prehistoric Park takes that a step further. The creatures we see are not merely treated like animals, they are treated like pets! From wrestling games with a Triceratops to a Mammoth haircut, I doubt if anyone will find this program as awe inspiring as its 'Walking with' predecessors. What is most annoying however is the decision to throw in a narrator. Totally unnecessary, It ruins the Cinema Verité factor, making the program feel even more artificial.Despite error, Prehistoric Park is entertaining simply because it never takes itself seriously. Even if it doesn't do justice to prehistoric life, it is a feel good, quirky kind of program, that kids as well as adults can enjoy.
rptryn I saw this on Sunday and was amazed by the CGI. I liked how in the first episode, Nigel went back in time to the Cretaceous in Montana and brought back a Triceratops, a flock of Ornithomimus, and two juvenile tyrannosaurs back to Prehistoric Park. I also liked the second episode in which Nigel went back to the ice age. I could not believe how fast the cave bear was going when it was chasing him. The other scene where Nigel was being chased by the Elasmotherium was kind of freaky because I thought he was going to get impaled by that horn. I really look forward to seeing the other episodes of Prehistoric Park when they get shown on Animal Planet.
jmtrc This program was show here in Australia right before another program "The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs" was show on another channel. The latter actually had serious, interesting stuff to say along with all the pretty CGI, and certainly made this show seem rather insipid. Even after accepting the device of time-travel, this quasi-documentary doesn't hold up high in the credibility stakes. Waist-high wooden fences? Really.Still, for pre-teens, this ought to hold the attention, with the novelty of the palaeontologist dodging the big creatures, and throwing in a sprinkling of prehistoric factoids. Nothing revolutionary, however.
