OllieSuave-007 Dinosaurs were just about my favorite things from my childhood, ever since first seeing the Primeval World segment at the Disneyland Railroad attraction. From collecting books to figurines, dinosaurs were just the most entertaining and fascinating creatures, and I was obviously excited when I saw this documentary on TV - one of my first times seeing live-looking dinosaurs in action.Though this documentary shows clips from a variety of classic dinosaur films, there were also some original dinosaur footage filmed especially for this movie - most notably the battle between the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Monoclonius, the Trachodon escaping the T-Rex and the pair of Deinonychus chasing down a Struthiomimus. These scenes were definitely the highlight of the documentary and it was a treat for me seeing these live-looking dinosaurs in battle.A very good documentary with some good insight in the narration and, though dated by 2010s standard, good visual effects for its time.Grade A-

Banshee57 This one's a pretty hard thing to find. Had I not run into it during a video search, I never would have known that Christopher Reeve took part in something as this. The little learning show goes through many enactments created for the program, and looks at a few clips from movies depicting the ancient species. Reeve is nice, and well spoken with his commentary . Other elements include interviews with scientists and random fans. You won't find stuff like this anymore. Now, programs like this are almost as boring as a waiting room. Getting Christopher Reeve to host was a fun idea, and thusly, watching the historic facts is even better with Reeves' voice leading us on. A nice thing to watch with Reeves as himself, and just as entertaining as his definitive Superman. all in all, a nice little educational program, very big on reflecting the times and technology in that decade.
