“Great story…a sense of mystery…beautiful, stunning images, wonderful directing…great use of sound and music; superb integration of the very dynamic creature CG.”

“A stellar example of how technology can enhance without overshadowing a program. Computer graphics bring these so-called megabeasts back to life…to reveal the story of their extinction.”
