Product Description

Product Description

One of our favorite natural history subjects, the good old dinosaur, gets a makeover and then some in this fantastically ambitious and groundbreaking documentary. Based on cutting-edge paleontology and the latest fossil records, DINOTASIA presents a series of vignettes about dinosaurs - both familiar faces and some we have only found out about in the past ten years. The film uses CGI to bring the stories to life, but draws on animation's birth in silent film and early Disney to create proper, traditional visual storytelling. Werner Herzog narrates.

The Sopranos let loose in the Mesozoic Era --Sunday London Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Dinosaur DVD...
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2013

We have the blu-ray version of this DVD; it is excellent. This, refreshingly, is one of the more modern DVDs on dinosaurs; a lot of the older films and DVDs have outdated images and erroneous depictions (based on current findings). This DVD depicts the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous life as if you were somehow transported there to see things for yourself! The CGI is done pretty nicely and the dinosaur life forms seem realistic enough. I would have liked to see a bit more of some degree of feathering on the T-rex dinosaurs and on the Allosaurs (as they probably had more than the film depicts) but at least the younger T-rex did have some semblance of feathering... and (correctly and admirably) had a longer and narrower skull/jaw configuration (which did gradually change during the maturation process into what the grizzly adults looked like)! This DVD lacks a lot of human commentary; but, in this case, it is (in a big way) a blessing; it puts you more in the "here and now" of the Mesozoic times (as if you actually were there). All in all, a very enjoyable dino flick. My wife and I have a lot of dinosaur books and have just about every dinosaur movie that exists. This one is more than enjoyable... and one which we will watch multiple times! Some of the bonus sections are lengthy and excellent extensions! Thanks much to all those creative people who had something to do with this marvelous film! It's superb in a cool, unique way!

Finally, a nice journey of Dinosaurs where we don't have to listen to some old british guy droning on and on about what a trilobyte is. It's straightforward and simple, a bunch of short story animations about dinosaurs just doing their daily thing, hunting, fighting, banging, making dino babies. Each segment has its own little plot where herbivores run from predators and bigger predators come along, dinosaur rivalries, grand quests for tailbiting revenge, etc. A little bloody at times, so maybe for kids 8+. The animations are beautiful and the expressions on the dino faces are done so well. This is a sit back and enjoy kinda dino film. No great destination, just a pleasant journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Dino Documentary
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2021

Dinotasia is an interesting take on the dinosaur documentary. It's similar in style to Walking with Dinosaurs in that it shows them in the style of a wildlife documentary. It's always great to show them behave like actual animals and not movie monsters. All of this is narrated by Werner Herzog. Werner Herzog is the icing on the cake. I could listen to him read the phone book and be entranced. Highly recommended!

A dinosaur/early mammal gets up in the middle of the night to bite the head off a little lizard who is chirping and annoying it?! What????? Animals don't waste energy or food like that. And it goes downhill from here. The animals shown are all anthropocentric. It would have been better as a cartoon. I've never seen science portrayed as such poorly designed satire. The worst part, though, is that I think the writers thought this was real science. A shame. If I could give it a zero I would. This is NOT a "DOCUMENTARY!!!!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, captivating and humorous!
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013

The short stories about life back in the age of dinosaurs is a must have for anyone who loves dinosaurs. The information is current, the dinsaurs look updated and modern and the CGI...wow! Near Jurrasic Park quality CGI. So this is dinosaur eyecandy at it's best. The portrail of the dinsasaurs is well thought out. They made them into living breathing animals by showing them doing things such as scratching and itch, shaking thier heads (a fly maybe?) and other actions we see animals do all the time today. They also injected a bit of humor in the story buy having the dinsaurs act out in an almost human faction with emotion and whit. (I won't spoil it for you, but the scene with the dinsaur making noise keeping the other dinsaur awake had us laughing)
I only wish such a good disc would have more special features.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of those documentaries
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2021

This is one of those documentaries that you put on and just watch. The entire idea is to get you from point A to point B. Compared to other documentaries that do a lot of talking and explaining, you won’t find that here. This is more of a watch and judge for yourself. I did see that someone mentioned the lack of humans. For me, that is your personal taste and thoughts. I didn’t put on this video to fact-check when humans were around. If that is something you want to see, it will not be found in this documentary. In fact, the main facts revolve around extinction. Dinosaur names and things like that are things you have to know. Information like that would have been nice, but it does not kill the documentary. The focus is more on behavior, some you may or may not agree with. You will reduce your nagging thoughts if you just watch it for mild information and amusement. One must also remember that since this is an old documentary, the graphics are acceptable for that time. It took me a moment to get used to them, but once I did I was able to watch what was going on. As for the narrator, you barely hear them which is great since their voice is not spot on. Whenever the narrator spoke, I found myself wondering if Christopher Walken would have done a better job. I know it is a random actor to think of, but when you hear the narrator’s delivery, he may be one of the actors that come to mind for being a bit better or would have been amusing to hear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dinosaur Revolution was good...but this is still awesome.
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2013

Many people give this documentary a bad rap...they say it is not as good as Dinosaur Revolution...but in all reality it is just as good. There is not an annoying narrator through out the whole documentary...most of it is actually silent...with just the sound of the surroundings and of course the dinosaurs. What I didn't like about the lack of narration is just that many times you don't know the names of the dinosaurs during that particular part. Some say that the animation is some what goofy and kiddish, but really it is hilarious. You will notice that most of the episodes from Dinosaur Revolution was cut out of the actual documentary...however in the bonus feature section there are extended cuts of the sections. If you are a fan of dinosaurs like I am...You will love this documentary. It is filled with laughs, action, and of course fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars an interesting and imaginative engagement with current thinking on dinosaurs
Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2014

You might want to have a good sense of the names of dinosaurs attributed to each epoch because this film isn't going to tell you. Instead the film makers devise a captivating narrative that presents a view on how dinosaurs may have lived and dealt with their environments. The film begins at the Permian/Triassic extinction (the "great dying") and continues in a non-linear fashion until 65 millions years and the K/T extinction presenting sometimes whimsical, sometimes humorous and sometimes appalling imaginative narratives on the lives of some dinosaurs such as Dilophosaurus, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Archaeopteryx, Giganotosaurus, T-rex, pteranodon, and so on. The visual are good, the conjectures viable and the film enjoyable from start to finish.
