After watching Walking With Dinosaurs i wanted more. Then came this! Its the same thing but he brings the dinosaurs to a park! Sadly a lot of things brought it down. Nigil was very annoying and unrealistic. Every single episode he has to bring a new dinosaurs back to the park. What bothered me was that every time he does this it turns out to be the most dramatic and unbelievable adventure with way to much comedy. And it was a little bit Hollywood.Acting and special effects were med core.This will be great for kids. Great for simple ppl who have not seen walking with dinosaur's and basically don't no any thing about dinosaur's.But for more realistic viewers its not to good.
... View MoreWith 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.
... View MoreMy whole family loved this series. My 8 year old daughter in particular; she has now told us that wants to be a vet *and* an archaeologist and "dig up bones like Nigel." It shows the fascination that this show holds for people; particularly children.Yes, the animals are CGI for the most part, with the odd bit of animatronics, but even for those of us who have seen movies like 'Jurassic Park' this still seems more realistic; particularly with Nigel discussing the various creatures he sees. His educational technique is very good, as he obviously teaches without people feeling they're being bored with facts and figures.We have the DVD now as well, which my daughter is in danger of wearing out. I only hope they make more of this brilliant show, as it was so good.
... View MoreOK heres the dillio. This show is the bomb. It shows amazing CGI effects and good , slightly over-done acting. I love it. If you don't get the show torrent it. I found five episodes , the sixth should be up in a few days. Many people say that this is a rip-off of Walking with Dinosaurs and Walking with Prehistoric Beasts. Interesting theory but no. This show was done by the makers of the Walking with series. Some of the animals had a makeover ( phorusracus , meganeura) but some are the same (mammoth , arthropleura , giant scorpion , etc.). This show follows Nigel Marvin who also played himself in two other walking with specials (The Giant Claw , Land of Giants , Chased by Sea Monsters) . So , if you can stand the overacting give this show a watch.PS. BOB ROCKS!!!
