Description
(2D

4D
Blu-Ray
VERSION):
For
nearly
200
million
years
while
dinosaurs
roamed
the
Earth,
the
seas
teemed
with
some
of
the
most
awe-inspiring
ocean
creatures
of
all
time.
Sea
Monsters,
a
National
Geographic
Giant
Screen
film,
is
an
entertaining
journey
into
prehistoric
oceans.
Inter-cutting
between
the
animated
story
and
the
re-enactments
of
fossil
discoveries
combine
the
appeal
of
"Indiana
Jones"
with
the
CGI
that
brings
these
prehistoric
monsters
to
life.
Perfect
for
the
whole
family.
National
Geographic
presents
this
documentary
that
dives
into
the
ancient
deep,
exploring
the
strange
world
of
prehistoric
sea
creatures.
Using
paleontological
discoveries
and
computer
animation,
filmmakers
recreate
these
long-gone,
magnificent
creatures
in
all
their
glory.

Review:
For
the
child
who
knows
the
difference
between
a
diplodocus
and
an
apatosaurus
(or
for
the
adult
who
remembers
a
youthful
obsession
with
dinosaurs),
National
Geographic's
Sea
Monsters:
A
Prehistoric
Adventure
will
be
a
delight.
This
40-minute
special
explores
the
less-familiar
world
of
the
prehistoric
oceans,
filled
with
predatory
Platecarpi,
gentle
Protostegas,
and
cold-eyed
Xiphactini.
The
story
follows
a
newborn
Dolichorhynchops
(a
short-necked
plesiosaur
that
looks
a
little
like
a
dolphin
crossed
with
the
Loch
Ness
Monster)
as
she
matures
into
adolescence
and
adulthood,
surviving
encounters
with
sharks
and
the
fearsome
Tylosaurus,
who's
sort
of
the
T-Rex
of
the
deep.
Juxtaposed
with
these
vivid
CGI
recreations
are
staged
depictions
of
paleontological
digs
throughout
the
20th
century
that
unveiled
the
bones
of
these
ancient
deep-sea
beasties.
It's
irrefutable:
Dinosaurs
are
compulsively
fun
to
learn
about,
and
the
prehistoric
creatures
of
the
ocean
are
no
exception.
