Product Description
For the child who knows the difference between a diplodocus and an apatosaurus (or for the adult who remembers a youthful obsession with dinosaurs), National Geographic's Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure will be a delight. This 40-minute special explores the less-familiar world of the prehistoric oceans, filled with predatory Platecarpi, gentle Protostegas, and cold-eyed Xiphactini. The story follows a newborn Dolichorhynchops (a short-necked plesiosaur that looks a little like a dolphin crossed with the Loch Ness Monster) as she matures into adolescence and adulthood, surviving encounters with sharks and the fearsome Tylosaurus, who's sort of the T-Rex of the deep. Juxtaposed with these vivid CGI recreations are staged depictions of paleontological digs throughout the 20th century that unveiled the bones of these ancient deep-sea beasties. It's irrefutable: Dinosaurs are compulsively fun to learn about, and the prehistoric creatures of the ocean are no exception. --Bret Fetzer Product Description For nearly 200 million years while dinosaurs roamed the Earth, the seas teemed with some of the most awe-inspiring ocean creatures of all time. Sea Monsters, a National Geographic Giant Screen film, is an entertaining journey into prehistoric oceans. Inter-cutting between the animated story and the reenactments of fossil discoveries combine the appeal of "Indiana Jones" with the CGI that brings these prehistoric monsters to life. Perfect for the whole family. Narrated by Liev Schreiber with original music by Peter Gabriel and The Footnote. Includes four pairs of 3-D glasses within the Blu Ray case. 2D Version also on disc.

For something which, let's face it, is only played out on a 42 inch television, not a 3D viewer, viewed through glasses, I swore I could touch the plants, jellyfish and fish included in this.
It has it's crude moments, and as far as in depth prehistoric detail go, it's not your best buy, but I would still recommend it whole heartedly.
Highly interesting, not all of your normal sea monsters and as I say superb 3D action, coupled with a really good price for a 3D blu ray, you won't regret it, I promise you.

Watched it on my HD projector and the 3D was pretty good in parts, however there was a lot of 'ghosting' at times which was quite annoying (may not be as noticable on a TV). I was slightly dissapointed by the 40 mins runtime, expected more from a full-priced Blu-ray.
Overall, was good fun and definitly one kids would love.

3D Is the greatest! Except for the glasses!
What a gas! And the kids watch it over and over. If you have a HD TV set and a Blu-ray player, you HAVE to get this!

need a big screen
3D effects were great on my large projector home cinema. But 3D was very poor on 42" LCD TV.
