action
Similar to the Korean production " Speckles " (2011), the focus is on the life of a single prehistoric animal. The adventures of Patchi, the youngest son of the alpha couple of a Pachyrhinosaurus herd, are told in a cheerful, conversational tone by two off-voices - his own and that of Alex, a primeval bird of the genus Alexornis.
Recurring motifs are the competition with Patchi's big brother Bruto (orig .: Scowler ), the love for the young conspecific Juniper and the always lurking predators like Gorgosaurs , Hesperonychus and others
Between the humorous to life-threatening episodes, the species that occur are briefly introduced with their generic names and eating habits, otherwise there are few parallels to the BBC documentary series.

background
It is a family film, which, in contrast to the documentation mentioned, does not make any scientific claims , apart from the fact that flora and fauna of the Upper Cretaceous Period (Maastrichtium) are presented approximately in accordance with the current state of research. It was shot in Alaska and New Zealand, the production costs amounted to about 80 million dollars, it was 126.5 million dollars.
Similar to " The Journey of the Dinosaurs - Escape from the Ice " from 2011, the film was initially planned without - quite extensive - accompanying narration. This was added later.
criticism
In summary, the animation techniques were praised, but the identical title with the purely scientifically oriented series from 1999 led to confusion.
“As a prehistoric nature and animal documentary, Neil Nightingales and Barry Cook's film could have simply convinced with its fantastic images, but the cinema version of the successful BBC TV series 'Dinosaurs - In the Realm of Giants' only pleases with impressive animations and leaves Missing any substance in terms of content. Too childish for adults, too cruel for smaller viewers despite all the harmlessness in some scenes. "
"The biggest 3D event of the last 70 million years."
