Having watched the documentary, I thought it was very thought provoking. The thesis behind the DVD was how could so many cultures have stories and legends containing dragons that were described the exact same. Most of these descriptions resemble those of dinosaurs according to the experts. The DVD is actually broken up into two parts. The first part describes dragon stories, dragon art, and the use of dragons in culture in general like in China. They also discuss oral legends told by Maori people and Polynesians describing these dragons. They mention how historians like Herodotus, Josephus, and Marco Polo mentioned things like "giant lizards" in their writings. The conclusion drawn was that these dragons lived with man, and that they were dinosaurs.

The second part of the documentary was much more scientific in nature. It is from a young earth point of view. The experts on the DVD wanted to explain how fossilization occurs, how it was possible that dinosaurs aren't as old as people think. For example, they point to evidence that dinosaurs and mammoths lived around the same time. Man and mammoths lived around the same time, thus, man lived with dinosaurs (A=B, B=C, so A=C). Their most compelling argument was the discovery of a T-Rex bone that still had soft tissue and marrow, which if the dinosaur died out millions of years ago, then that could not have happened.

Overall, I found it thought provoking and interesting. All of the people giving commentary had "Dr." in front of their name. They had paleontologists, marine biologists, physical chemists, and botanists. All of the experts came from Creation Ministries International which is in Australia, I believe. All of these scientists have a young earth creationist perspective, and for a lay person like myself, they made a compelling case against the conventional wisdom. Watch it with an open mind.

This documentary is a must see for everyone! I was and still am amazed by this well put together program. Who would have known? Evolution is garbage, I was only taught evolution, as if it was fact when in fact it was all lies and heresay! I am really glad that I saw this eye opening documentary, I will definately be sharing it with all my friends and family.
5 stars even though the flashbacks to the library book reading scene was kind of cheesy, I think it was added to appeal and draw the attention of young children. My son really liked this documentary too (so I guess it worked) and he has been obsessed with dinosaurs for years now, taught the same garbage I had been taught but now we know the truth, thank you Darek Isaacs and team for making this!

I would like to see a response to the T-rex soft tissue discovery from evolutionists. That is an amazing piece of evidence.

I have read a criticism from other reviews elsewhere that creationists take their presuppositions (Genesis as historical fact) and make the evidence fit. That is true - but everyone does that. Evolutionists have a story that presupposes that something came from nothing and took millions of years to go from goo to you. They put their faith in that and make up theories to fit it. Who do you trust - Genesis or Richard Dawkins?

Only four stars because I did not care for the story reading segueway between sections of the DVD. Overall content was great.

I read the book before I purchased the video, and I was very impressed with both formats. It is amazing how twisted our textbooks have become. In my opinion, I think it is because submission isn't easy, as we all wanted at one point to be the decision maker in our own lives. We all have an authority that is higher than us, if we choose to acknowledge it or not. I can not believe in traffic all I want, but if I play chicken with a truck, I am going to lose. The same principle goes with God; you can go ahead and play chicken with Him, but you are going to lose when it is all said and done with.

I'm having to buy this DVD for I believe the third time. When I loan it out, it never seems to come back. It's an eye-opening video that my son and I and his friends enjoyed very much. The case is well-presented, and the video actually manages to be engaging.

If you buy the video, get the book with it. The book goes into more depth.

Several have commented on the library scenes. I am neutral on those. They didn't bother me a whole lot, but I'm not sure they moved the video forward either. When my new copy arrives I'll have to watch again and see what I think.

this really did not give any evidence about dinosurs possibly being dragons. they did give some evidence that it is possible dragons were real and lived around with humans. the problem is they kept preaching about the bible. i did not like it becuase it made it seem like it was goig to be all facts on how dinosuars evolved into dragons that we know of. it didnt do that what so ever it just preached a lot about noahs arc and a whole lot of other stuff in the bible. i would not buy this if your not into being preached at

This documentary is certainly worth watching. I was pleased that they brought up the soft tissue found in a couple of different dinosaurs and what a problem that is for the evolutionary theory agenda.
My only complaint is that the director has a preschool type book reading in a library setting going on through out the video. They are just short segments but they just don't seem to fit in. The overall material is certainly not geared to that age so it does seem kind of an out of place inclusion.

I was blown away by this DVD! As a Christian, the discussion of Dinosaurs was always a gray area, and basically left alone. It's really helped me understand where to place these ancient beasts in terms of God's creation. I would reccomend it to everyone. Give it a try, what do you have to loose?

This video was a real eye opener. They show actual drawing and stone carvings from ancient people groups with accurate representations of the entire structures of these great beasts. The amazing part to me was that these people didn't have the fossil evidence we have today, thus they must have seen the animals to so accurately depict them in drawings and carvings. If you even have the slightest interest, get it!

I still have to research this more but this dvd is a real eye opener to a young earth view. The claims made in this dvd can't be ignored unless you want to say, "Na na na na na na, I can't hear you." Getting the book next.
