Something about the CGI in this show that makes it more real than any of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films. It's seriously photorealistic! Maybe it's the less exaggerated movement and naturalistic lighting and environments. I really want to know what the CGI budget was for this.
@@thescorchingpteranodon7986 Well you say that but JP was the most realistic representation of dinosaurs when it came out and it used peak technology as well as palaeontologist advices to do so. It’s just that now it’s already 30 years old and the understanding of dinosaurs and the cgi tech have evolved quiet substantially, so much so that the first movie is outdated on these aspects. Also JP and JW are movies made for entertainment, scientific accuracy isn’t an accurate factor to judge them while PP is a documentary so they better be at the top for that. But in any case I hardly see any laziness in either
@The scorching Pteranodon You called Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) which founded by George Lucas in 1975 and has plenty of experts in visual effects including CGI who’s been working for decades as a “lazy studio” and their works as “garbage”? I’m sorry to say this but you need to check your dinos brain asap.
All the paleoartists I follow are either involved with or extremely enthusiastic about this series. Yet the public reaction is sometimes puzzlingly defensive, not sure why some people are really attached to the idea that "dinosaurs were all boring / evil / angry / brown".
I gonna be hated for this but it just my personal preference, for me dinosaur seem to be te closest thing to a fantasy creature that why I used to love when they were more "Monster-like" I understand that this is kind of stupid but I guess it is just my inner child thinking
It could also be because they came in expecting something like walking with dinosaurs wich, did a similar thing but had its fair bits of action pieces wich were exciting and heart pumping withour losing its documentary vibe. This series was a lot more chill sometimes even a bit too chill imo. But yeah i agree some people online are insanely defensive and nonsensical with their arguments. Some even adopting out of nowhere the stance that "oh its all conjecture and fantasy theres no way we know any of this behavior is real". Gladly they seem to be a small minority.
ppl dont like thinking about how dinosaurs really existed, they think the dinosaurs look too real and it makes them very uncomfortable, since now they need to view dinosaurs as actual animals rather than fantasy.
GENIUS! GENIUS! Finally, someone pictured dinosaurs as living animals not Holywood roaring, boring monsters. Dr Naish and Mr Walker, my hat goes to you! Well done!
Well, depending on which film, in defense the old JP movie got less research material than we are now. So we can safely pardon them for imagining dino as big muscly grey/brown lizard with killing instinct turned on every second.
Dear@@SetiKt, I apologise. Jurassic Park is one of the greatest movies of all time. You easily believe that the animals on the screen are actual animals. The animal behaviour is very well done in JP. Of course, I was referring to Jurassic World. JW is an ostentatious, boring, cliche bursting time waster. If I may recommend, The Lost World - 2001 by BBC. A television film, done by people that worked on Walking With Dinosaurs. Personally, the most marvellous movie of all time!
@@LarsTonguesInAspix I hope they continue beyond dinosaurs even, like a Cambrian-Devonian season with aquatic life and maybe even an episode on as recent as the Pleistocene with the "Ice Age" animals.
I hope so! Though I reckon they chose the cretaceous due to the evolution of broad leafed trees an flowers. I could be wrong, but I believe both only became widespread in the cretaceous period, and it just made life easier when filming on location.
It’s crazy how far we’ve come since I was a kid. Dinosaurs used to be portrayed In such a different way. Now we know so much more about them and the way they looked and behaved. It’s awesome
It depended on where you looked. In the early 90s I watched PBS The dinosaurs, I was... maybe 5 or 6. It ignited my love for the dinosaurs and it really showed them as animals, not as monsters. I still think those 2d animations were much more thrilling than the 3d animation we use nowadays, and the music was definitely better, but oh well. I suppose I will always have those ^^
I have loved dinosaurs for years and I’m glad to say this show brought them to life in such a accurate and beautiful way I hope this show comes back with more episodes
Prehistoric Planet was one of the best things I’ve ever watched. Huge props to everyone involved in creating it! Hopefully, more and more people will gain an interest in paleontology and ancient life in general.
One of the best things to happen for Paleontology , Nature and Science Enthusiasts this year. Thank you and kudos to everyone involved in this project ! Definitely waiting for more seasons of it.
It’s so weird. As soon as he said “Chonky” is the exact time I started reading the comments and yours was the top one. This happens to me a lot on RU-vid.
I still can't get over the fact that this show had the *balls* to show a T-Rex post-hunt. Any other show would've shown the T-Rex hunting the Triceratops, because that's where the action is. Not David Attenborough! He wants to show what T-Rex was like after the hunt. The gentler side. That's part of what makes Attenborough the GOAT of nature documentaries. And for a filmmaker to do that...That. Takes. Balls.
The series was amazing. When i was around 3-5 years old i used to watch walking with the dinosaurs over and over again and when i watched this series the happiness i felt back then came back to me and it was also just amazing to watch as a documentary. So glad i stumbled across this video so i could express my feelings about this amazing apple tv production.
They look incredible, their skin and feather fextures are so detailed and realistic. They really feel like real animals you can touch (except trying to touch a dinosaur is in most cases not a good idea 😅), because their skin, eyes, feathers, body shapes etc. looks a lot like that of birds and reptiles we see today.
I've never been a dino person, not even as a little kid, but these last two videos have shown me how interesting they cam be, and this really makes me want to watch that series
I am 70yrs. At age 6 knew all the names of the dinosaurs known at the time. A great uncle came to visit and I was told not to talk about the dinosaurs because they were not part of the 7 day creation story. So I accidently, on purpose left my dinosaur picture book out.
It's simply amazing to see how much more we now know about those beings, it's a breath of fresh air to see dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures portrayed like actual animals, instead of bloodthirsty mindless movie-monsters!
Beautiful to see dinosaurs brought to life as complex animals with amazing behaviours. I admire all of the scientists and artists that have created this masterpiece.
We actually know more about dinosaur behavior than we do do about early hominids! I watched this again last night and was impressed by how beautiful it all is. It is a magical series
Funny cuz 65 just came out and had us thinking “it’s probably an alien world”….. only for it to be Prehistoric earth … Oh well… at least this show is getting a season 2
Baleen whale males will fight each other over access to mates, and they can also fend off orca pods. They are quite capable of throwing their weight around to damage others.
@@altforauditions9279 yes im fully aware of that. fighting for mating rights and self defense is almost a given in any species, but baleen whales arent going out of their way to harm other creatures, us humans can swim right beside them and pet them and they dont care. try pulling that stunt with an elephant and you are dead
These are the absolute best Dinosaurs to ever have appeared on screen. It's fortuitous that Prehistoric Planet was released at almost the same time as Jurassic world Dominion because it put those dinosaurs (dopy movie monsters) to shame. I loved that it showed them engaging in behavior other than just hunting and eating.
As happy as I was watching the show it will always give me depression to know that some believe it was impossible for dinos to live in polar regions because "they're lizards and lizards die in the cold". Also that one article that said that the show made T-Rex too "woke and soft"
It was another documentary narrated by David Attenborough that the article talked about, and it's really stupid cause how can you make a dinosaur "woke"
Best dinosaur / prehistoric series since the BBCs walking with dinosaurs in the late 90s by a mile. I found most "documentaries" over dramatised dinosaurs and didn't show them behaving like actual animals, which, for all of its inaccuracies, WWD managed beautifully. I also found that everything since WWD over used CGI and made the dinosaurs look and act cartoony. I hope there are more seasons. I'd love to see their depiction of allosaurus - my all time favourite thanks to Big AL.
I hope they will continue the series for other periods as well. Also I wish they include paleozoic era even though it doesn't have much to do with dinosaurs.
Im really interested in the carboniforous period, personally. A time where trees didnt rot away because bacteria to eat them hadnt evolved yet. I imagine it would be like japan's sekigahara cranked up to 11, trees growing over trees that grew over trees, with cave networks made of roots and dead trunks
You can like Jurassic Park/World and realistic depictions of dinosaurs. Unrealistic representations aren’t evil. They are fun and for Hollywood. I love both 🧡
I love how they mention giving the t-rex more fat cause it reminds me of the slimming effect when finding bones of creatures. And representing their full body shape on the skeleton alone. Like how someone did the slimming effect of a swan and it looked like the stuff of monsters.
That beautiful dinosaur that looked like a cassowary 😍 I definitely need to watch this. Dinosaurs will forever be cool and I love that they can more accurately depict them, the more we learn about them. I mean, dinosaurs living through polar night season? Too cool (no pun intended).
@@richardblazer8070 there’s a lot of aspect of this documentary that are speculative such as behavior, body structures (like dreadnaughtus display structures), skin filaments and lips for some dinosaurs etc. while the animals are accurate there is a lot of speculative additions made in an attempt to remind general audiences that these were animals not monsters .
Would love to see more, I was recently looking at a theory that the T Rex had wings like an ostrich and feathers which is fascinating. One of the coolest realisations lately is that there would have been earlier dinosaur fossils when the T-Rex was walking around.
Huh... No it didn't? First, adult Tyrannosaurs were indeed fully scaly, their arms were too small to support any sort of wing, and three, this theory was suggested to explain why some flightless small dinosaurs with wings, like Velociraptor and Ornithomimus had wings, Ostriches uses their wings to help them to do sharp turns, and a similar behaviour could have existed in those small winged and flightless dinosaurs.
@@darkonyx6995 I'm aware of the hypothesis, the keyword that I used was "theory" so unless your T-Rex buddy told you himself there's no place for "no it didn't" when no-one knows any of this for sure.
@@dxbbred But paleontologist discovered a lot of tyrannosaurus skin impressions, so it is known that T.rex hadn't a lots of feathers, but many scales. It could be, at most, covered with rare, tiny feathers (like in Prehistoric Planet)
Eso esta completamente descartado, ahora se cree que el rex en su etapa adulta solo tenia pequeños filamentos parecidos a plumas en areas muy especificas de su cuerpo
These two are fabulous, they really are! The knowledge, passion and respect for showing great dinosaurs is awe-inspiring. But had to chuckle that they look like Matt Lucas & David Walliams characters, hehheh.
Except birds aren't dinosaurs. The term dinosaur refers to a fossil reptile of the mesozoic era, thus this post is completely accurate, every dinosaur is, in fact, never before seen. By human eyes anyway
@@crewdawg2008 this shows you have no clue what youre talking about. the term dinosaurs referes to an animal that is in the group archosauria, and more specifically dinosauria. birds fall in this group too, thus they are dinosaurs. if you want to be specific about what is a dinosaur, its a reptile that has legs directly under its body along with some other features. there were a million other reptile species living with dinosaurs, especially pterosaurs and crocodilians(which for the record arent dinosaurs either but are closely related) but they werent dinosaurs themselves. dinosaurs are a group not a term for animals in a certain era. P.S. oh yeah i just remembered something. your statement is kind of ironic considering birds evolved mid jurassic.
di·no·saur /ˈdīnəˌsôr/ noun 1. a fossil reptile of the Mesozoic era, in many species reaching an enormous size. 2. a person or thing that is outdated or has become obsolete because of failure to adapt to changing circumstances Courtesy oxford dictionary
Well, now we need to ask Pr. Daniel and the rest of the crew to make us more seasons in Prehistoric Planet 2022 about the prehistoric life in the rest of the Mesozoic and then Paleozoic & Cenozoic era, right everyone.🦂🦖🐘👍😉🌎🌍🌏🌌
At the start of this I was wondering why Ihave never herd of a series I would be fascinated with. Then they mentioned it was on Apple TV and that explains why I have never heard of it and won't be able to watch it for now
Most streaming services have a month-to-month option. I'll subscribe to a service, watch the one or two shows I'm interested in, then cancel. A one-month subscription is usually only a few dollars / euros / pounds.
I mean, most of Ark dinos are extremely inaccurate (which might be resolved in Ark II tho, atleast I hope). T.rex and other dinos don't have lips, some of the dino proportions are way too big (like giga for example), the arm posture of the dinos are incorrect, Spino has a skull too large, etc.. So I agree that it would be quite fun since there's many things to discuss.
@@zjjla6283 Some of the more recent ones have been close while still fitting into the game. And the ARK 2 Raptors look a lot more realistic. I think they're really improving with that.
@@pithemathyt7099 According to recent research, big ichthyosaurs like Shonisaurus and Shastasaurus are actually thought to have been predators of larger prey, similar in niche to sperm whales. It's hypothesized that filter feeding is how baleen whales reached such massive sizes, which could be why the biggest ichthyosaurs never got as big as them (as far as we know).
I think the only problem I had with the series is that, almost all of the episodes has had a Tyrannosaur in it, and connecting to that, there isnt much diversity in life either(like a bunch of animals, even crocodiles) Other than that, its pretty solid and I hope theres a second seasom
just realised it. Not noticable usually cause tyrannosaurs were pretty duverse and these were depicted creatively Like quazhino, nanuq, tarbo, and trex himself
