The first segment of the film focuses on the first dinosaurs, in the Triassic period, 220 million years ago. The Coelophysis is featured here. They show the Coelophysis hunting Placerias, an ancient reptile not related to dinosaurs. They show how the speed and agility of the Coelophysis helped it survive and dominate. Another reptile featured in this segment is the Cynodont. These creatures are referred to in the film as the missing link between mammals and reptiles. They had backbones that moved from side to side as they walked, but they were also covered with fur. The largest carnivore of the period is the Postosuchus. This reptile is a distant relative of the dinosaurs. They only creature that they had to protect themselves from was another Postosuchus. The flying reptile of this period that the documentary shows is the Peteinosaurus. This dinosaur had fingers to protect his wings, which were made of a very fine membrane.

The next period they explore is the Jurassic, about 152 million years ago. They describe this as the age of the giants. The first dinosaur

After showing the creatures of the sea, the next segment features the creatures of the air. The brightly colored Tapejara is first shown, with a bright red crest. Then they follow the flight of a giant Ornithocheirus on his journey back to the mating grounds to procreate. This segment is during the Early Cretaceous period, about 127 million years ago. Land dinosaurs are also shown in this segment. The Iguanodon is featured, and he is the first dinosaur to have back teeth to aid them in chewing their food. They travel I packs with Polacanthus, who are armored dinosaurs with spikes covering their backs and tails. The carnivore featured in this time period is the Utahraptor. The Utahraptor has huge claws on its legs, as well as long fingers. Both of these aspects help the Utahraptor to catch and kill its prey. The Ornithocheirus travels across several continents to the mating ground for procreation. When he gets there, however, he is too old and worn to attract a mate. Tired and worn out, the flying dinosaur dies from exhaustion.

In the mid-cretaceous, 106 million years ago, dinosaurs were widespread. The next segment of the film follows the species of the South Pole. The Leaellynasaurus are small, resilient dinosaurs. They travel in groups and are territorial of their land. They are hunted in the forests of the South Pole by the Dwarf Allosaurus. He is the largest carnivore in the forest. Migrating from the north are the Muttaburrasaurases. They migrate by following the sun from the north in order to lay their eggs. Polar insects also inhabit the land. A giant amphibian called Koolasuchas feeds on the animals of the South Pole. These amphibians were forced to extinction in other areas through competition with crocodiles. The cold of the South Pole comes and destroys some the animals. Most of them try desperately to find shelter in the heart of the forest where it doesn't freeze.

The parts of the film I liked the most were the baby dinosaurs. They were very cute. Aside from that, I thought the action of the din
