Summary: 4 Stars
Generally excellent but somewhat disjointed documentary that reviews the various pterosaurs and documents a group of paleontologists and engineers as they attempt to design a flying replica based on the latest findings.
The pterosaur paleontology bits are good and the engineering bits are good. It's where they're stitched together that some cracks in the seams appear. There's also a pointless sidetrack as a gonzo paleontologist tries vainly to find proof of the existence of a jumbo pterosaur.
What's never addressed is how the pterosaurs evolved when any one or two of their specialized body structures would have doomed them until they assembled enough specializations to achieve flight. That's potentially the most interesting thing about pterosaurs, yet it's never totally glossed over.
