But could they have really existed? 220 million years ago dinosaurs were on their rise to dominating Earth. But another group of reptiles was set to make an extraordinary leap: pterosaurs were about to take control of the skies. These creatures were the first flying vertebrates, which grew to have a 40ft wingspan, the size of a jet. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastic that any fiction.

Chris Hewitt (St. Paul), St. Paul Pioneer Press
"Monsters" is informative, cogent and a word one wouldn't usually associate with 80-foot-tall films about dinosaurs: charming.
-
Maitland McDonagh, Film Journal International
Behind the hard-sell title and trailers lies an informative, child-friendly documentary about the evolutionary development and legacy of pterodactyls and other winged reptiles that should enjoy a long run at museums and science centers.

Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
It's one thing watching a science fiction movie with its clutch of exotic creatures, but it's quite another watching a documentary in IMAX 3D that puts us within touching distance of a flying pterosaur the size of a giraffe 220 million yeas ago

Philip French, Guardian [UK]
O Brave Lost World that has such creatures in it!
-
Derek Malcolm, This is London
The great thing about this veteran national treasure is that he can make almost anything interesting - and he doesn't have to try very hard here.
