Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The sixth entry in the 'Walking with', series and in some ways it is the best. Zoologist Nigel Marvin goes crocodile hunter in three different programs of prehistoric scale. From following the migration of the South American giant Argentinasaurus (the largest known dinosaur), to humping miles of Mongolian desert in search of the mysterious 30" clawed Therizionsaurus. Then, onto diving in the seven deadliest prehistoric seas, with creatures ranging from the 3 meter fish-eating reptile Nothosaurus, to the 15 meter, whale-eating shark Megalodon. Whoever says that man is the greatest species on the planet, has a lot to learn, perhaps this will clue you in. Fun, freaky and highly educational, this is something anyone can enjoy.

SPOILERSTim Haines and Jasper James, creators of Walking with Dinosaurs and Walking with Beasts team up yet again to deliver more prehistoric action. Up until now, all "Walking with" programmes were shot with no people except the narrator. But now a there's a presenter in there interacting with and reacting to the dinosaurs. In these three adventures, animal-enthusiast Nigel Marven travels back to several different points in prehistory. In "The Giant Claw" Nigel visits Late Cretacous Mongolia to find a therizinosaurus, a dinosaur with a claw over two-feet long! In "Land of Giants", he visits South America in the Early Cretacous to watch the biggest meat-eating dinosaur bring down the biggest plant-eating dinosaur! And in the "Sea Monsters" trilogy, Nigel visits seven prehistoric seas, each one deadlier than the last. Along the way he has a lot of memorable - and terrifying! - experiences: running through a nesting-site, waving a red flag like a matador; flying with a flock of pteranodons or riding on the back of a giant archelon turtle. He also meets a collection of nasty and bizarre creatures such as scorpions the size of dogs, dinosaurs with feathers, giganotosaurs ( predatory dinosaurs larger than T-rex ) and megalodon a shark that makes the modern great-white look like a goldfish! The creators put a lot of hard work into this, but the person who worked the hardest was Nigel. He needed to have us believe that he was actually there among dinosaurs. He can certainly put on a frightened face when someone else looks upon him as lunch and a convincing grin when he sees something astounding. He has been up close in personal with nature today so he certainly knows what he's doing. The BBC has come a long way since Walking with Dinosaurs and I hope a lot of people know and appreciate that.

Spoilers within!!!I grew up loving Dinosaurs. I love this show. Instead of it being an Indiana Jones adventure its more like the Crocodile Hunter. There's great attention to detail and to science. There's also a lot of humor and well thought out interaction. The film work is marvelous. The special effects are second only to major film work I loved it.BBC did an incredible job of making this a believable documentary. The DVD is broken into a number of smaller episdes, each exploring another aspect of the ancient world. Again, the research was well done.SPOILERI loved Nigels interaction and misadventures with animals, particularly when the Megladon almost ate him and he chewed out his staff for their gaffes!Great great show, wish they'd make more!

I saw this a while back, and it was pretty cool. Its been a while, so I don't quite remember everything. But I do remember that it was done terrific. Nigel was great, and the CG and live-action blended seamlessly. It's a definite for anyone who loves all of the Discover Channels Dino-Documentaries. It combined elements of Walking With Dinosaurs and When Dinosaurs Roamed America, with elements of Nigels own Wild Animal Docs. Its really interesting, the dinos look amazing, and its even a bit funny. The one draw back is the length of time. Being a dinosaur lover, I would like for a really epic doc, and even though Chased is entertaining, and it's not too short, I would just like to see longer docs, or maybe more of these. Anyway, if you get the chance, check it out.
