Description:
For nearly 200 million years while dinosaurs roamed the Earth, the seas teemed with some of the most awe-inspiring ocean creatures of all time. Sea Monsters, a National Geographic Giant Screen film, is an entertaining journey into prehistoric oceans. Inter-cutting between the animated story and the reenactments of fossil discoveries combine the appeal of "Indiana Jones" with the CGI that brings these prehistoric monsters to life. Perfect for the whole family.

For the child who knows the difference between a diplodocus and an apatosaurus (or for the adult who remembers a youthful obsession with dinosaurs), National Geographic's Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure will be a delight. This 40-minute special explores the less-familiar world of the prehistoric oceans, filled with predatory Platecarpi, gentle Protostegas, and cold-eyed Xiphactini. The story follows a newborn Dolichorhynchops (a short-necked plesiosaur that looks a little like a dolphin crossed with the Loch Ness Monster) as she matures into adolescence and adulthood, surviving encounters with sharks and the fearsome Tylosaurus, who's sort of the T-Rex of the deep. Juxtaposed with these vivid CGI recreations are staged depictions of paleontological digs throughout the 20th century that unveiled the bones of these ancient deep-sea beasties. It's irrefutable: Dinosaurs are compulsively fun to learn about, and the prehistoric creatures of the ocean are no exception. --Bret Fetzer

I guess I expected too much from this show, and was let down when I saw it. It wasn't extremely terrible, but it was terrible. THe CGI was very cheap looking, and it was way too short (of course they didn't have much to work with).
Save your money and go buy Walking with Dinosaurs, its more expensive, but totally worth it. Even Dinosaur planet or When dinos roamed america is better, just don't waste your time with this.

I thought this would complement nicely my large collection on the prehistoric. And it still might, if ever I get to watch it. Twice from Amazon, and once from another vendor, I purchased this dvd -- and it wouldn't play on my player. Nothing wrong with my Sony -- everything else plays fine -- and they were all marked Region 1. So there's a problem at the manufacturing end. I'm dumbfounded that others haven't reported this. I'm the only one? And bought it three different times?

Since BBC's "Walking With Dinosaurs" came out, there have been a host of books and TV shows about prehistoric life that have used the latest special effects and CGI. One notable release was this one by National Geographic, which came out as a book, a movie, and an IMAX movie. I have the book, and now I've watched the movie. Viewed by itself, the movie is incredible, very realistic special effects; all the creatures look real. Unfortunately, this movie clocks in at under 40 minutes, and does not ... Read More

Outstanding production by the National Geographic folks. The companion book is also great. My Dinosaurphile son loves both.

The special effects were amazing, a lot of information was given, wonderful narration, and the storyline was interesting.
However, I can't bring myself to give more than three stars because the staged paleontologist scenes were too cheesy for me...I don't know if better actors would have made a difference. Just when we were getting into the scenes with the prehistoric creatures, it would cut away to a reacreation of how the fossils were found - it was very distracting.
