DVD Reviews of National Geographic: Prehistoric Predators

DVD Review: Prehistoric Predators of North America
Summary: 5 Stars

It is very very good much better than what I expected, it details the life of three magnificent animals from the past Smilodon Fatalis, Short Faced Bear and Dire Wolf.

DVD Review: NG Prehistoric Predators
Summary: 4 Stars

In general, a very good presentation of subject matter, although some time should have been spent on the evolution of each species, instead of the repetition of the same animated graphics, which are quite good compared to previous prehistoric animal representations. In my opinion, a more appropriate title might have been 'Prehistoric Mammal Carniovores' as 'Predators' is to broad for subject matter addressed.

DVD Review: EXCELLENT AND EXCITING!
Summary: 5 Stars

THIS IS A VERY EXCITING AND VISUALLY STIMULATING. LOTS OF FACTS AND SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IS USED. GREAT ANIMATION.

DVD Review: If you loved "10,000 BC"!
Summary: 3 Stars

This is actually three NG episodes in one on tigers, wolves, and bears. The graphics here are excellent. Like Pixar or "Beowulf," you can tell it's computer-generated, but it still has a realistic feel. There are no cheesy reenactments like a lot of documentaries on late famous people.

The work asks great questions. What did these animals eat? Were they social or solitary? The work compares these animals to the bears, big cats, and wolves of today. It doesn't present the animals as always victorious. It shows a bear smacking a tiger and a dying elephant smacking and killing a bear. This is not a boring, anthropological look at bones.

People say children love dinosaurs. This work was designed for adults, but I think many adults may want to show it to their young children. Some may want their children to see this if the new movie "10,000 BC" really fascinates them.

Each episode said North America had sloths, camels, and mammoths at the time these predators lived. Now maybe NG made a series called "Prehistoric Herbivores" of which I don't know. However, it stands out to me that the predators are given a series when the other animals are not. I wonder if being a predator is deemed "sexy" or violent animal fights are seen as attention-grabbing in a way that leaf-chomping is not.
