2/5
Not as good as the BBC series
by D. J. Nardi (Washington, DC)
I got this because I loved the BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs. However, National Geographic: Sea Monsters - A Prehistoric Adventure (In 3-D) [Blu-ray] isn't quite as good as that series. Rather, it features clips of paleontologists digging for fossils, with scenes of the CG sea monsters interspliced. As such, it isn't as entertaining or exciting as the BBC series, which shows just the dinosaurs. If you want a great series on prehistoric sea monsters, check out BBC's Chased By Dinosaurs, which in addition to dinosaurs has a mini-series featuring sea monsters that is much longer than National Geographic: Sea Monsters - A Prehistoric Adventure (In 3-D) [Blu-ray]. In the series, Nigel Marvin chases, and in turn is chased by, sea monsters from a variety of different time periods. It's both more entertaining and educational.
1/5
Not on par with the "walking with" series
by CeeTee (Flushing, NY USA)
This film disappointed me. The animation is sub-par and the feature itself is too short. The background story is weak and the music sounds like it was generated from a MIDI program on a kids PC. Save you money and rent it instead. This film is not in the same class of quality as the "walking with" series.
3/5
Not very good for adults, nor for kids
by Passek (MD)
The scenario and some scenes look childish, and the CGI looks like that of an old video game. It is only for kids. Nevertheless, it includes many 'educational' scenes, which the kids don't enjoy. Walking with... series of BBC was good for both adults and kids. This is not for anyone.
2/5
OK if you enjoy computer created animation
by Tiger Chen (Bay Area, CA)
I guess I was a little disappointed that this whole film was computer created animation even though the images were realistic. If you enjoy watching prehistoric creatures in action, this may be the video for you but I enjoy "live" animals much much more so I was really not too turned on by this film.
5/5
Great movie!
by Carolyn A. Campbell (Clifton Forge, VA)
We bought this movie for my son for Christmas. He loved it. He is a budding scientist, archeologist, magician, and jedi knight. This movie fit right into his every day adventures.
Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure (National Geographic) Summary

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 Reenactments Of Fossil Discoveries Combine The Appeal Of "indiana Jones" With The Cgi That Brings These Prehistoric Monsters To Life. Perfect For The Whole Family.
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.
