Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
joestalin-28266 Why?! That's the first thing that springs to mind when watching this pile of rubbish. Why do we have a guy pretending to be chased and attacked and interacting with sub par CGI creatures from millions of years ago?! It's almost like the subject matter wasn't interesting enough to the producers so they tried to make it more exciting and like a blockbuster movie. This is made for morons. If you have any interest in Dinosaurs or pre-historic creatures in general then go on youtube and check out some actual documentaries that give you information about these amazing creatures. If you like movies like sharknado....then you might enjoy this. Utter, utter none-sense. If you enjoyed this...you are an idiot.
tankace One year after Chased by Dinosaurs Mr Marven goes yet again in a time traveling adventure ,this guy should be pair up with the Doctor ,they would be a great team. To the main subject "Sea Monsters" is a three part series ,in which Nigel goes in to the most dangerous of prehistory in order to show what creatures ones called the ocean their kingdom and some of them are quit odd ,for a lack of a better word. It was a great experience to see this real life leviathans swim around and the way the crew tries to study them was not amazing ,but nevertheless a interesting subject ,which will have you hocked( no pun intended). The reason why I did not score higher is the ending ,which is a cliff hanger and in all honesty, it did not need to be that way ,although if they continue the series and show me what happened it would be better from my point of view. Not that it is diminish the quality of that series , as its on I have seen it about four times ,like with all the Walking with program and still I am going to recommended it for those ,who want to watch a quality documentary, which unfortunately are a thing of a past I fear. Happy bench watch to everyone.
Innsmouth_Apprentice This doc is atmospheric, interesting, and covers a lot of ground. The CGI is simple but effective. There is one very memorable scene with enormous reptiles (Liopleurodons) feeding on an 80-foot fish (Leedsichthys) in underwater near-darkness... epic for sure... and there are some other great moments.The host, Nigel, does his job well. This 3-episode series takes the approach of transporting the narrator through time to actually swim alongside the creatures he's reporting on. The script of his exploits to this end is... okay. It's somewhat weak a lot of the time ... but the topic is engaging enough to balance it out.Overall, a solid 7/10, maybe even higher. Worth a watch!
aidan-quinn The most notable difference between the Chased By... series and its Walking With... predecessor is the addition of a live narrator and guide, zoologist Nigel Marven. This show would have scored a lot higher without this addition. Treating it like there was actually a guy interacting with the ancient creatures as in a regular nature documentary was off putting. Nigel Marven does a good job at mimicking these interactions but suspension of disbelief is something which should not be needed to enjoy a factual educational series. This spin off series is known in the US as the 'Chased By' series and in seeking to make the show more engaging it has caused the series to jump the megalodon by trying to inject cheap Crocodile- Hunter style action and theme-park thrills, rather than maintaining the scholarly objectivity of Walking With Dinosaurs' invisible narrator.Some people will enjoy this series a lot and it could inspire some children to get into the field but I worry that the gimmick makes it harder to retain any of the information.
