Description

For over a century, historians and scientists have been piecing together a history of the prehistoric world. This series examines the ultimate fighters of this unique period gigantic beasts that stalked the earth millions of years ago. Some of these dinosaurs were larger than seven-story buildings, and hunted their prey with strategy and cunning, transforming the prehistoric world into a battlefield. The temperature, terrain, and innate sense of the opponent s weaknesses and strengths all played a role in how each dinosaur planned his attack. Today, paleontologists are uncovering these fighting grounds and are gaining startling new insight into how maneuverability, team coordination, and striking at the exact moment meant survival.

This is probably the best show ever created, at least in my humble opinion. When "Dinosaur George" talks about the Raptors, it doesn't get any better.

7.5 DVD Verdict | Victor Valdivia

The show does tend to go for simplistic TV-friendly content more often than it should. What with all the zooms, Matrix-style freeze frames, and rapid-fire editing, it becomes a bit tiresome to watch several episodes in a row. Furthermore, there should have been more variety in the creatures profiled.

7.0 MonstersAndCritics.com | April MacIntyre

The show is a balance of testimonial and opinion by experts in many overlapping fields of paleontology and related science and disciplines. The big showdown is the duel-to-the-death capper at the end of the show.

5.0 ComingSoon.net | Scott Chitwood

I was expecting each episode to feature some sort of major CG dinosaur battle. That wasn't the case. It was mainly a lot of little clips of the dinosaurs fighting spread here and there with voiceovers by paleontologists. And over the course of the hour, I started realizing they were showing the same footage three or four times.
