Pretty Good

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

After seen the Jurassic World I felt a bit disappointed, because it was a simple cash cow in order to take money and I felt it is time to remind to the world the true successor of the Jurassic Park, the mini series of 2006, Prehistiric Park. The concept is silly, but the execution was great. The story goes like that, in the present day Nigel Marven and his team has made a park in order to accommodate excited creatures, which they bring back from the time those were going extinct. The idea is like a cross between Back to the Future and Jurassic Park ,but the crew and its reaction in the way the story works is almost perfectly and the manner they try to find by which way the animal will react by comparing them with the modern day counterparts is great, because for example, either you live in modern day, the Ice Age, the Mesozoid Era or the Carboniforous a top predator is a top predator and its other characteristics, like environment,class or even anatomy are secondary. In the end the only drawbacks the series had was the CGI for two or three animal ,it is was a bit a sword thump and its short length, after the end of the sixth and last episode you crave for more and unfortunately the satisfaction never comes, boomer! Anyway I still like it and recommended for the dinosaur enthusiast and followers of Jurassic Park and for real Mr Marven you have a thing on going back in time, I think that is a bit of a bad habit for a homo sapiens, If you really want to travel trough time just team up with the Doctor(ha ha ha ha !!) he will be as excited as you and even more.

"Prehistoric Park" is a paleontological gift from the gods. Don't listen to those fussy nitpickers that condemn it as an ersatz "Jurassic Park" clone. First of all, the various endangered, ancient beasts are NOT cloned. They are rescued from perilous time periods by the charismatic and engrossing zoologist and adventurer Nigel Marvin, a somewhat more subdued version of the late, lamented "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin. Second, not all the captured beasts are dinosaurs and reptiles. Yes, T-rex makes his obligatory appearance, but we also witness bizarre creatures like a 10-foot tall, flightless, carnivorous bird (Phorusracos), a woolly rhino the size of a modern elephant with a 6 1/2 long horn (Elasmotherium), and a 10-foot long millipede (Arthropleura). Third, the creatures are allowed to and even encouraged to breed, as the Ornithomimus chicks demonstrate. Finally, not every creature encountered is captured. For example, we get to see the giant cave bear, the Parasaurolophus, and the rhinoceros-like Toxodon undisturbed in their natural environments.Instead, this series puts a prehistoric (and sometimes gently humorous) twist on the daily activities and challenges in maintaining a natural-habitat wildlife park. Nigel and his appealing, competent cast, such as groundskeeper Bob and Suzanne the veterinarian provide detailed but fascinating information on the feeding, boarding, and medical care of disparate animal groups. The actual forays in the past are even more fascinating and gripping as Nigel and his crew deal not only with dangerous, deadly animals but also perilous natural disasters like, say, the approaching asteroid which decimated the dinosaurs during the Cretaceous, and odorless carbon monoxide, and a swamp fire during the Carboniferous period. Yes, Nigel has a time travel portal to visit those bygone eras, and yes, some people might have a problem with the time travel paradoxes which inevitably follow. To me, they were an insignificant distraction. The series seems episodic, but you can't really watch the 3-DVD set at random because there are linear threads running through it. Two of the main ones are the increasing sibling rivalry between the troublesome T-Rexes Terence and Matilda, and the living adjustments endured by the wounded, long-suffering, and ultimately heroic woolly mammoth Martha.The series has exciting cliffhangers, but they are natural and unforced. Will Terence survive Matilda's attack? Will Martha heal and be accepted by the elephant herd? Will the male and female Smilodons breed successfully? Will Nigel get himself and his 4 X 4 out of the Carboniferous swamp before the fire strikes? Will Nigel's scorpion sting do permanent damage? Can anything stop the spooked, stampeding titanosaur from reducing the park to rubble? It's also fun to see the depiction of how animals from different eras might react to each other, such as when Martha is introduced to a real elephant herd, and when the crocodile Deinosuchus tries to take a bite out of the escaped Matilda, and when Martha attempts to protect a baby elephant from, again, Matilda; the CGI in this regard is sensational, and is seamlessly top-notch in general.Also, in general, if you are a nature, paleontology, or wildlife buff, you will be in heaven with this series. "Prehistoric Park" may also give conservation-minded people comfort, of a sort, by kinda cheating extinction and bringing a mind-blowing array of creatures back to life for our contemplation.

The series is educational, interesting and funny. I got the box set and i enjoy watching it. Alomst everyone in my family does, we have not had the disk that long but it has already been watched millions of times, and I'm surprised it hasn't broken. Each episode focuses on a different time so no matter which part of the prehistoric history you are interested in, it will be there with plenty of fun clips and facts. Another bonus is that the animation is excellent and at times believable. As well as facts there is a story with each one, sometimes sad and sometimes scary. For anyone this is a great series and well worth watching!

With an excellent blending of computer graphics and live action filming this series brings dinosaurs to life in a way no other series has. The combination of anthropology and current day zoology makes for an enlightening look into the lives of dinosaurs. Our 5 year old son absolutely loves Prehistoric Park and watches each of the 6 currently available episodes repeatedly. Prehistoric Park has replaced Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Curious George and all his other cartoon favorites. It's all he wants to watch. All I can say is, Thank You TiVo. Without it my son would not be able to get his daily dose of Prehistoric Park. He constantly asks me to check the website to see if another episode is finally available. Even his older brothers ages 13 and 10 find this series interesting and eagerly await a new episode featuring another prehistoric animal whether dinosaur or ice age mammal. As for the adults in the family, we find the antics of Nigel and his staff as entertaining as the dinosaurs. Admittedly there are some parts that will make the more mature roll his or her eyes but that is also part of the charm of the show and what draws the younger viewers.
