Critic Reviews

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
There's not much here that you can't get from a subscription to The Discovery Channel. But you and your children will appreciate the vastness of these barren places, and how different the world was when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Anyone seriously interested in the subject will find much to fascinate them here.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul), St. Paul Pioneer Press
It's a pretty good combination of whiz-bang and science.
Ross Anthony, Hollywood Report Card
A solid documentary; unfortunately, the picture suffers from rickety 3-D.
Jean Lowerison, San Diego Metropolitan
If you know any 8-year-olds, take them along. If not, see the fascinating Dinosaurs Alive! yourself.
Linda Cook, Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Budding paleontologists: Dig in! This is the closest you'll get to seeing a real-life documentary on the biggest creatures you'll never lay eyes on.
Frank Lovece, Film Journal International
Putting something in large-format raises expectation of a sense of awe and wonder beyond the solid and well-taught information that alone that you could get on PBS.
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
The project's larger purpose is clearly to stimulate academic interest in youngsters brought up on Jurassic Park-style thrills.
