MemberAllosaurusJun-17-2015 7:27 PMWell this was already posted about days before it came out.
I didn't watch all it since I thought the first minutes were cheesy and a "turn-off" for me.
IT'S TIME TO DU-DU-DU-DU-DUEL!!!

MemberCompsognathusJun-17-2015 8:08 PMReally? I went back a bit and looked but saw nothing. Well I suppose anyone who missed it can see it now...
And yeah, it is kind of cheesy but still interesting nonetheless.

MemberCompsognathusJun-17-2015 8:13 PMIt did have some educational merit, Although it wasn't quite done as well as it should've been done. For example, their premise was that it was kept in a bog or something, that's why it was so intact... But the thing looked straight out of the Paleontology books, Flesh 'n all.
The Practical effects could've been a bit better, you could tell what part was specifically meant to be manipulated and the skin just didn't have a natural look to it.
It was fun and interesting regardless though. I think I enjoyed the Documentary from Montana where they had found a Duck billed dinosaur that had died in a bog encased in mud. That was good, I loved it.
Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way

MemberAllosaurusJun-17-2015 9:16 PMYeah it was posted by **AL** a while ago, but it's okay, we all overlook something, I think I may have done it too in the past a couple of times.
It still is somewhat interesting, though.
IT'S TIME TO DU-DU-DU-DU-DUEL!!!

Yes I posted it before the show was aired, here the link :
I knwo what the guys are talking about stop to watch it, I got the same feeling but then I was like.. meh. I want to enjoy it and I´ll focus int he worthy part.
I think here is so many ppl complaining about to much CGI, and Im aware they could make the same show with a voice in off and a 3D computer model . but at the end- what is cooler than sintetics that you can touch and cut, more if you can cut it with a chainsaw!
So if you avoid the cheesy part in your mind, you will enjoy it as much as I did it, it was like 2 hours of fun.
