It's not fair to say that "Prehistoric Planet" is taking the popularity of "Jurassic World 3". Such a well-made and leisurely dinosaur documentary should be the protagonist of the summer.
Spreading a story according to the laws of nature is much more satisfying than a Hollywood hero blockbuster. Personally, I don’t like to watch movies where human beings can brag about destroying the barrier. To be honest, human self-confidence should be given by dinosaurs, because dinosaurs are not extinct, why are we standing upright bipedal?
The five-episode documentary "Prehistoric Planet" mainly tells the life of little-known dinosaurs in oceans, deserts, rivers, ice and snow worlds, and forests during the Cretaceous period.
"Prehistoric Planet" has a score of 8.9 on IMDB, 100% praise on Rotten Tomatoes, an MTC media score of 85, and a Douban score of 9.5.
Realistic CG technology presentation is the cornerstone of this film. You seem to be a little brother in the museum and run to the clock at twelve o'clock at night to travel to the prehistoric era. Although you forgot to bring a sandwich to eat, you are thankful that you are still carrying the camera in your panic.
For example, this analog camera is hidden in the carrion to take pictures of the pterosaurs eating, which is delicious!
Of course, there are comments that say that technology is greater than content, and dramatic narratives are rarely seen. I dare to say that this must be due to the fact that I have watched too many dinosaur movies. As the overlord of monster movies, dinosaurs are always terrifying to show people. The purpose is to match people's subjective perspective. Unfriendly scare you, smack your mucus! But in "Prehistoric Planet", dinosaurs just grow, learn and survive naturally according to their own logic of life. There are parents and mothers, there is love and family, there are problems of survival and there is brilliance of life, the pattern is much larger.
Therefore, this is a dinosaur movie that should be shown to humans, facing such a fascinating creature with a calm mind, showing their difference.
Prehistoric Planet is produced by executive producers Jon Favreau and Mike Gunton and BBC Studios Natural History. Mike Gunton, the creative director of the BBC's Natural History Department, is a gold medal producer. From his "Dynasty" series and "Earth Pulse" series, each of them is a "must-see in life".
Jon Favreau is one of the hottest producers in Hollywood. He has been at the forefront of using CG technology to express the natural world with "Fantasy Forest" and "The Lion King". The 96-year-old Sir David Attenborough is the voice of this time, and Hans Zimmer also joined the music production. This lineup can be called the golden lineup, and the production team was determined to make this film into a landmark documentary from the very beginning, hoping that it could become the prehistoric version of "Earth Pulse".
Apple TV+ offers 2160p DV Dolby Vision, which is perfect for viewing nature documentaries. Armor-like scales, wet eyes, fluff on dinosaurs, and saturation that perfectly matches the environment are so delicate that they can be watched repeatedly by dinosaur fans.
I have bought a lot of dinosaur books for my children. The extreme figure of dinosaurs is one of the interests of children. How big is it? How long is it? These data can still confuse children.
The book often states:
It's the size of 20 elephants combined!
It spreads its wings and is the size of a helicopter in the sky!
Its neck is more than ten meters long...
Their growth rate is amazing, they can grow from 5 kg to 75 tons.
They can produce 20 tons of manure a year...
Although these data and adjectives can stimulate children's imagination, they are not as violent as the intuitive feeling of documentaries.
This courtship show is particularly interesting. It looks like a ton electric toothbrush shaking the barren land of South America. This battle has solved my doubts about this kind of dragon very well - what is the purpose of a long neck when the proportions of the body are extremely unbalanced? And why are the claws on the thumb raised high?
There are also quite a few scenes with a sense of design in the film, from the wandering of a small lizard chasing flies, bringing out the treacherous raptor who fights in a team, the velociraptor who is creeping still wakes up the sleeping tyrannosaurus, from the lizard. From the angle of view, the Tyrannosaurus rex has more of the lazy temperament of the uncle basking in the sun at the door.
In addition to dinosaurs, the appearance of other prehistoric creatures is also particularly attractive. The visual effect of the ammonite is extremely stunning, like a luxurious crystal lamp, which lights up the male and female ammonites to find a mate by the frequency of light. After mating, the female ammonite will lay eggs and die on the beach after dawn.
Earlier, paleontological documentaries often fell into a tight budget. In terms of presentation methods, one was pondering real fossils back and forth, while listening to the lengthy explanations of scientists, and then there was the competition of paleontological "fighting beasts", which was not delicate and interesting.
In 1999, "Walking with Dinosaurs" produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) turned out to break the stereotype of paleontological documentaries. This 23-year-old 6-episode documentary uses video technology comparable to Hollywood, with dinosaurs as the protagonists and their survival stories as the main line, restoring the real life of dinosaurs in the Mesozoic.
The BBC did not re-launch Planet Dinosaur, which featured dinosaurs until 2011. This documentary focused on some of the latest research findings on dinosaurs in academia at the time.
This year's "Prehistoric Planet" has refreshed our previous stereotypes about dinosaurs, and brought the details of the unknown dinosaurs' lives to our eyes. After watching this film, many viewers have already begun to look forward to the second season, lamenting that dinosaurs can be shot so small and fresh.
As David Attenborough said, he hopes that through such a documentary, people will realize that dinosaurs are just an animal, not a monster.

Tyrannosaurus Rex Appears
For example, the appearance of the top-tier Tyrannosaurus rex in the dragon world turned out to be swimming with a baby. This is not only a unique dramatic contrast, but the creative team wants to use scientific principles to tell the audience that the hollow bones are full of air, plus strong Strong hind limbs, because of such a body structure, it can be inferred that Tyrannosaurus rex was a great swimmer.Prehistoric Planet is produced by executive producers Jon Favreau and Mike Gunton and BBC Studios Natural History.

A little tyrannosaurus rex with fur and riding a turtle as a toy
Watching the little Tyrannosaurus rex prey on small turtles, people can't tell which is the special effect and which is the real shot. The little Tyrannosaurus rex is really cute.Plesiosaurs mate underwater, give birth in the sea
The nearly 9-meter-long plesiosaurs mate underwater and give birth in the sea. The beautiful frames are suitable for screensavers.Tethys pterosaurs have a narrow and fragile wingspan, and they look very much like two antennas swaying left and right when walking.
There are seven different kinds of pterosaurs on the beaches of North Africa, they come here to eat, rest, and raise their offspring, most of the books written about pterosaurs are soaring in the sky, I hope you all go to see the Tethys pterosaur landing on the ground The scene of a large piece of swordsmen in Double Flag Town is really cool, especially the little Tethys pterosaur, which is fierce and fierce.pterosaur
Among the countless marine creatures wrapped on the hard rock, only one rock looked exceptionally bare. This turned out to be the VIP private room where the Hoffman Mosasaurus came to take a bath!Like whales, mosasaurs rely on lungs to breathe, and if they don't breathe for a long time, they will drown
Because the mosasaur is a giant lizard with a forked tongue, and the lizard has a colored coat during the mating season, the molting requires the help of small fish and shrimp, and the most ferocious predators roll in the undersea bathroom, scrub and molt. , and finally stood up and put her head out of the water to breathe. This seabed lady really knows how to enjoy life.I have bought a lot of dinosaur books for my children. The extreme figure of dinosaurs is one of the interests of children. How big is it?
