We were extremely disappointed in this DVD. In comparison to other BBC productions,this one really is “POOR”.
The graphics are poor quality, not sharp and crisp. The context of the narration, was totally unfounded.
It spoke of 500 million years and the transmission of time as fact, when in truth it is only theory. I know
that Dinosaurs were present at on time, and that is fact. The evolution of life as we know it today,and
when and how that took place is speculation and theory only.
The one and only portion of this collection that was appreciated, was the last selection where it gave the viewer
a size comparison from ‘us’ to ‘them’
In closing I wish I could get my money back, but it looks like this DVD will be a garage sale item for a buck.
Thank you for this opportunity to give feed back.

As others have said, this is a comprehensive, informative, and visually powerful series. It provides some– I wouldn’t say a lot– of information about the evolution of life through the age of the dinosaurs. However, one could learn much more from a book (of course), so I wouldn’t term this series highly educational.
My criticism of this series is its gore, and general fright factor. I am sure BBC/Discovery, a la Disney and every other producer of “children’s” visual material these days, wanted to make this EXCITING! And they did. But I know there are other parents out there, like myself, who long for information and entertainment that does not manipulate with fear and tension– foreboding narrator’s voice, foreboding music, unnecessarily fearful (and at times just ridiculous) script writing, and straight up GORE. Is it bloody and messy when a carnivore attacks? Of course. I don’t think the truth of this needs to be sanitized. But, for example, imparting “personality” characteristics to the small-brained attackers instead of keeping it even and real (it’s just what carnivores DO; they are probably just as scared as their prey, but they need to eat), all in the name of holding viewers’ attention– well, I find it annoying, frustrating, and unnecessary. My kids find it tense and scary. And although my son wants to watch, it so unnerves him that he has finally agreed to let me try to find a “better” dinosaur movie.
I don’t think that blood appearing to spurt on to the camera lens in any way enriches our learning, or our enjoyment. Older kids can play a Wii game if they want to see spurting blood (and I know many of them do!). I’d rather, for now, share information and enjoyment with my kids that doesn’t involve computer generated gore and unnecessary, manipulative tensi

I usually do not have a problem showing my kids documentaries about wild animals eating each other and mating, but I feel in this DVD series the authors took pleasure focusing on these aspects (like savoring stretchy guts and crunchy spines of the newly hatched young). A dinosaur lifting her tail to demonstrate that she was agreeable to mate was not appreciated either.

He loves watching it. It sparks his curiosity and inspires him to learn more.
