Interesting and informative, but far too much repetition with the animation. Also, the computer-generated creatures are not nearly as polished or life-like as those produced by the BBC in their Walking with Dinosaurs series.

Over all, the film is pretty good. But keep in mind that many of Peter Ward`s theories are controversial to say the least. So take
them with a grain of salt.
Like so many "documentaries" about the prehistoric world, you have to use the term "documentary" a bit loosely since there are really
so few hard facts to go on. Much of it is best guess and or speculative. And this one is no different.
But keeping that in mind, the ideas are thought provoking and worth consideration even if they are far from proven.

First, I love the Animal Armageddon series. Although it's mostly speculative, it's a great watch and educational. Anyone into ancient history should check it out. However, the fact that you only get half the series is a bit disappointing. I would have loved it, as with others no doubt, if a 2nd DVD with the remaining 3 extinctions was released.

We bought this DVD for my son, who is keen on watching any documentary on dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. He finds it very entertaining and he discovered other episodes on YouTube. Is a second DVD about to be released? We would certainly be interested.

I was actually sent Animal Armageddon Target Earth (wide screen), not the version I ordered (Animal Armageddon (Full)), but nowhere did it explain the difference between the two. It turns out that the one I received is episodes 1 - 4 of the eight episode series, but nowhere did I see that. It should have been part of the description. I still have no idea what the difference is between the two versions, other than Target Earth being longer by a few minutes. Possibly the one marked (Full) is a full-screen version, but that was not clarified anywhere. My first thought when I saw there were two versions was that the one marked full might contain all eight episodes, but since it was shorter than the Target Earth one, I decided that couldn't be right. I hope when Animal Planet decides to release episodes 5 - 8 of Animal Armageddon that they will indicate in the write-up that it is the second half of the series so I will know to order it.

was ok i expected more animation and less talk from the profs.
probably would not have bought it if i'd known this.

arrived very timely. it is a christmas gift so have not watched it yet.
