Chased by Dinosaurs (TV Mini Series) The Giant Claw (2002) User Reviews

Brilliant documentary

[christianvictorialuke · 9/10 · 30 March 2006]

This wonderful spin-off of 'Walking with Dinosaurs' features zoologist Nigel Marven as a time-traveling scientist who explores the Nemeg Desert,now Mongolia. His mission is to track the owner of a massive claw,Therzinosaurus,and determine its true habits. On the way he meets the many animals of the region, like the 40 foot long Tarbosaurus, the famous Velociraptors, and the ancient bird/dinosaur Mononykus. The way the actor interacts with the animals seems so real, and the CGI surpasses the original WwD. Even better is the long-awaited appearance of feathered dinosaurs, something the original series lacked as well. Look into this and its sequel,'Land of Giants'.

It WAS a good series

I really liked the walking with dinosaurs series , excellent narration from KB , loved ballad of big Al, then this one arrived and they seem to be using the formula for several series to come.I think having a real person live in the frame with cgi recreated dinosaurs is a big mistake its seems an attempt to cross the late great Steve Irwin's antics with a Jurassic park type documentary. I kept wishing they were real and might eat him , i think he doesn't come across at all convincing. he's probably a nice guy and very well read but i think this formula awful.The dinosaurs are the star- in other series they do bump into camera or spray "len's" with spit this works in a way that the new one doesn't . sorry.
