Our main characters are a herd of large, frilled, plant eating dinosaurs – Pachyrhinosaurus. The film follows their youngsters through the seasons and the challenges of growing up and establishing themselves in this prehistoric world. From the moment they hatch, they face predators, extremes of weather and natural disaster as they fight for survival. Walking with Dinosaurs: Prehistoric Planet 3D is an immersive 3D experience – the characters are animated throughout against real backgrounds. It's the most authentic dinosaur experience ever to be seen on the giant screen. The animals' bodies and movements have been precisely built up from fossil evidence and their behaviour is derived from both palaeontology and detailed knowledge of the behaviour of modern animals. Even their body language has been inspired by what we know of real animal behaviour and gives these creatures an amazing realism. This film is inspired by the major motion picture Walking with Dinosaurs: The Movie. (BBC)

The new Walking with Dinosaurs doesn't bring anything new or revelatory in comparison to the original BBC series from 1999, but it was still a nice documentary to watch. The plot moved along, I enjoyed the third dimension and I liked that they focused on lesser-known dinosaurs that are not exactly textbook examples. The film will be especially appreciated by the kids, for whom it is a kind of audiovisual encyclopaedia, but adults will also find their own thanks to a number of action scenes.
