Essential Dinosaur Pack (Image/Discovery Channel DVD)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: C+     Extras: D     Episodes: C

 

 

The amount of CG-enriched TV mini-series about dinosaurs is so large that it has created a sort of glut in programming that was all very similar to each other.  Here are some previous such DVD releases prior to this Essential Dinosaur Pack Image Entertainment and The Discovery Channel has issued:

 

Prehistoric Park (BCI Eclipse)

Prehistoric Earth (BBC)

Ultimate Dinosaur Collection (BBC)

This one is also anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 and Dolby Digital Stereo, with audio sound limits and in this case, no extras.  The eight hours of episodes include:

 

Valley Of The T. Rex

T. Rex: New Science, New Beast

When Dinosaurs Roamed America

Utah’s Dino Graveyard

Dinosaur Planet

The Mystery Dinosaur

Dinosaurs: Return To Life

 

 

If you love the subject, you’ll want all these sets, but if not, know the CG here has aged more quickly than even I expected.  Otherwise, happy hunting.
