Through the magic of scientifically accurate computer-generated animation, these newly discovered creatures, and some familiar favorites, will come alive...in a big way!

Quite disappointed with this title I had eager anticipation for. On my Samsung LED 3D, ghosting is really bad and prevalent pretty much on every scene, that has any "depth". A contrast to the Grand Canyon adventure, which is marvellous. Give this one a miss. It will give you a head ache and a wallet ache. If I was Imax and Michael Douglas I would sue somebody!

WOW !
I cannot believe that this Bluray was released in this terrible state.
This product should never have been allowed to be released, it is that bad.
As a documentary it was never supposed to be very informative as the 3D spectacle was supposed to do the talking, much like all the other 3D IMAX films. So why would they release a film that has had such a bad 3D conversion done to it? Who knows ! They must have known that the 3D conversion had failed on this film so why release?
I have 7 3D Bluray films now and this is the first that has MAJOR problems. There are no scenes in the film that don't have depth issues, crosstalk, ghosting, glitching, convergence problems, shadow issues....the list is endless.
There are some scenes where I could remove my glasses and the picture on the screen looked the same (the museum shots particulary, which is a joke as they looked amazing on IMAX 3D) and some scenes where I had to remove the glasses because my eyes and brain were straining to make the 3D work and giving me a quite nauseous feeling, I would never had expected this after all the hours I have put in to watching 3D over the last few years.
I had high hopes for this Bluray as I saw it in London at the Science Museum and it looked awesome and left a memorable positive impression on me, please save your money and DON'T buy this, see it at an IMAX cinema instead.
If you MUST buy it I am selling my copy on a well known auction site right now, point taken?

If you are looking for a 'Walking with dinosaurs' type documentary, then do NOT buy this!!!
The whole feature only lasts 40 mins, which is comprised of approx' 32 min's 28 sec of the typical 'rent a bore' on-site digs with the teams, and only 7 min's 32 sec of cgi!!!
If you want my opinion, get the discovery channels 'Essentual dinosaur pack' which in my view, was worth it's weight in gold!!!
Like i said "AVOID!!!!!!!!!"

I've seen Grand Canyon and Under The Sea (both on 3D blu rays) and they left a descent impression - yes 3D telly is great! Then came this dinosaur stuff... hmm.. i can only agree with the rest of the reviews - it is plain awful / dont bother.
Wondering if if Deep Ocean is good...

this is obviously a very early 3d movie and as such left us all feeling very dizzy, it's extremely hard to focus on the whole scene and therefore very dissapointing. but to be fair the service i got IE. delivery was top notch.

I brought this DVD by mistake but when I watched it I enjoyed it very much the 3D effects are fantastic.

It only lasts 35 minutes, my daughter loved it though, thanks. Michael Douglas doing the narrating, would have been better having Barney narrating.

I agree that there is alot of ghosting in this one. But it's not so distracting that you can dismiss the whole flick. Read more

Great 3D depth.
Like other documentary movies, the plot of this movie is simple, and straightforward. The 3D effects of the disc is breath-taking.

Very basic story, little in the way of 3d Dinosaurs
If your looking for an excellent 3D Dinosaur Bluray, don't buy this. Instead buy a copy of the famous BBC walking with Dinosaurs series and enjoy that far more... Read more

A glimpse of the past
This short 3D film presented an interesting trip back into pre-history when dinosaurs ruled. The animations are quite good and the 3D effects fairly well done. Read more

Could this be the worst 3D ever
This has to be the worst Stereoscopic 3D photography and animation I have ever seen, I work as a stereographer and If I put out this kind of stereography then I would be asshamed. Read more
