[@jesuschrystler777]

Something about the CGI in this show that makes it more real than any of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films. It's seriously photorealistic! Maybe it's the less exaggerated movement and naturalistic lighting and environments. I really want to know what the CGI budget was for this.

[@thescorchingpteranodon7986]

JP and JW are garbage, it does not take much to make better than them.

[@cbreezy]

The Jurassic series is an action movie. This is a documentary. That’s why.

[@thescorchingpteranodon7986]

@@cbreezy no, simply JP/JW's CGI is garbage, PP's is top tier and not made by a lazy studio.

[@DeeveeL1060]

@@thescorchingpteranodon7986 Well you say that but JP was the most realistic representation of dinosaurs when it came out and it used peak technology as well as palaeontologist advices to do so. It’s just that now it’s already 30 years old and the understanding of dinosaurs and the cgi tech have evolved quiet substantially, so much so that the first movie is outdated on these aspects. Also JP and JW are movies made for entertainment, scientific accuracy isn’t an accurate factor to judge them while PP is a documentary so they better be at the top for that. But in any case I hardly see any laziness in either

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

@The scorching Pteranodon You called Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) which founded by George Lucas in 1975 and has plenty of experts in visual effects including CGI who’s been working for decades as a “lazy studio” and their works as “garbage”? I’m sorry to say this but you need to check your dinos brain asap.

All the paleoartists I follow are either involved with or extremely enthusiastic about this series. Yet the public reaction is sometimes puzzlingly defensive, not sure why some people are really attached to the idea that "dinosaurs were all boring / evil / angry / brown".

Idk, mate. I love the idea of dinosaurs being colorful feather chonky lizard. Nature is colorful afterall.

[@shadowassasin7046]

I gonna be hated for this but it just my personal preference, for me dinosaur seem to be te closest thing to a fantasy creature that why I used to love when they were more "Monster-like" I understand that this is kind of stupid but I guess it is just my inner child thinking

[@shiitakestick]

not really "brought to life" are they ? kind of disingenuous isn't it ?

[@samuraibeluga3749]

It could also be because they came in expecting something like walking with dinosaurs wich, did a similar thing but had its fair bits of action pieces wich were exciting and heart pumping withour losing its documentary vibe. This series was a lot more chill sometimes even a bit too chill imo. But yeah i agree some people online are insanely defensive and nonsensical with their arguments. Some even adopting out of nowhere the stance that "oh its all conjecture and fantasy theres no way we know any of this behavior is real". Gladly they seem to be a small minority.

[@lorencalfe6446]

ppl dont like thinking about how dinosaurs really existed, they think the dinosaurs look too real and it makes them very uncomfortable, since now they need to view dinosaurs as actual animals rather than fantasy.

GENIUS! GENIUS! Finally, someone pictured dinosaurs as living animals not Holywood roaring, boring monsters. Dr Naish and Mr Walker, my hat goes to you! Well done!

[@SetiKt]

Well, depending on which film, in defense the old JP movie got less research material than we are now. So we can safely pardon them for imagining dino as big muscly grey/brown lizard with killing instinct turned on every second.

[@thedragonsterritory2332]

Dear@@SetiKt, I apologise. Jurassic Park is one of the greatest movies of all time. You easily believe that the animals on the screen are actual animals. The animal behaviour is very well done in JP. Of course, I was referring to Jurassic World. JW is an ostentatious, boring, cliche bursting time waster. If I may recommend, The Lost World - 2001 by BBC. A television film, done by people that worked on Walking With Dinosaurs. Personally, the most marvellous movie of all time!

It’s crazy how far we’ve come since I was a kid. Dinosaurs used to be portrayed In such a different way. Now we know so much more about them and the way they looked and behaved. It’s awesome

It depended on where you looked. In the early 90s I watched PBS The dinosaurs, I was... maybe 5 or 6. It ignited my love for the dinosaurs and it really showed them as animals, not as monsters.

They look incredible, their skin and feather fextures are so detailed and realistic.

[@adambulmash6880]

I still can't get over the fact that this show had the *balls* to show a T-Rex post-hunt. Any other show would've shown the T-Rex hunting the Triceratops, because that's where the action is. Not David Attenborough! He wants to show what T-Rex was like after the hunt. The gentler side. That's part of what makes Attenborough the GOAT of nature documentaries. And for a filmmaker to do that...That. Takes. Balls.

[@laara1426]

I am 70yrs. At age 6 knew all the names of the dinosaurs known at the time. A great uncle came to visit and I was told not to talk about the dinosaurs because they were not part of the 7 day creation story. So I accidently, on purpose left my dinosaur picture book out.

[@yohohocow1291]

Best dinosaur / prehistoric series since the BBCs walking with dinosaurs in the late 90s by a mile.

Would love to see more, I was recently looking at a theory that the T Rex had wings like an ostrich and feathers which is fascinating. One of the coolest realisations lately is that there would have been earlier dinosaur fossils when the T-Rex was walking around.

[@darkonyx6995]

Huh... No it didn't? First, adult Tyrannosaurs were indeed fully scaly, their arms were too small to support any sort of wing, and three, this theory was suggested to explain why some flightless small dinosaurs with wings, like Velociraptor and Ornithomimus had wings, Ostriches uses their wings to help them to do sharp turns, and a similar behaviour could have existed in those small winged and flightless dinosaurs.

[@dxbbred]
