Good start, but then it gets ruined

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

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I grew up in Hill City South Dakota. And, I was part of the National Guard in Rapid City for a while. This story is very close to me and to any of those who lived in South Dakota. This movie should bring GREAT clarity why judges should be held "accountable" and why the ridiculous politics of tribal land and millions upon millions of laws stacked to the roof isn't what the forefathers who help found this country intended. One of the most ridiculous and telling events of how America's government does business, and how the system allows such travesties against good outstanding people to take place. And most important, how the government covers up it's failures when it beats up the little guy! Judge Battey may your soul rot in hell and may "YOUR" bones someday be considered just LAND!

This is a must watch for anyone interested in dinosaurs and perfect for college courses.This documentary is definitely a roller coaster not like other documentaries as you learn from the hero's, the villains and you learn about corrupt law.I went and seen sue in Chicago and this definitely wasn't the story they have on Sue, so I recommend to anyone who has seen this amazing T.Rex to watch this documentary and find out how Sue nearly didn't come to the public eye, and how much of a struggle the true owners went through trying to keep her were she belonged.I wish all the best to the Larson Family.

The documentary starts with a nice way of directing,and it shows us the main palaeontologists how they are working how they spend there time reading books and then shows us Susan Hendrickson one of the palaeontologist from them, takes a walk, an she suddenly saw something,like a stone but she thinks that it is a T-Rex's bone it was like a t-Rex spine, and then she look again closer and closer and she was sure after a wile that she discover a Tyrannosaurus Rex , she was so happy and she run to tell it to the others but after she arrived they didn't believe her, then she show them the part of t-Rex spine and they run fast to the dinosaur,and after a while they discover that it was sure a t-Rex,then they name the dinosaur Shu in memory of Susan Hendrickson. The documentary is nice until something went wrong the documentary became like a drama movie, there is nothing to understand or to show to us about palaeontologists and there work it changes the documentary and transform it to a movie, It suppose to show us about the dinosaurs.This story its nice but the documentary is going a little bit wrong.

This is by far one of the most touching documentaries that I have ever seen. A story about the Larson family, who put their heart, sweat and blood into finding and unearthing one of the most dominant dinosaur's in the world. It goes to show that the Government can never be trusted, and for Mr. Larson to not be invited to the opening of Sue in the Chicago Museum is an absolute insult to Palaeontology. McDonald's the obesity king and Walt Disney teamed up and acquired Sue for a Whopping 7.6 Million Dollars. To know that you put everything you have into something and have it taken from you just crushes me. I hope Mr. Larson that one day you discover a 90% intact T-Rex and have it displayed in South Dakota. I wish you and your team all the best. Cheers.
