Because they’re amazing and fascinating. This documentary was fun to watch, had very interesting points and angles from a variety of dinosaur enthusiasts including multiples types of palaeontologists. As well as people involved in films, including the Jurassic Park/World franchise. I learned somethings about the backgrounds of the making of some of the films but this documentary also coverer so much more in regards to discovery of dinosaur remains, what people, both professional and amateur, do with them, as well as a little insight on how the dig sites themselves are approached. As someone who’s always been fascinated by dinosaurs this documentary really resonated me as it told its narrative, as well as people sharing their own love and interests within it that scope.

The film crew did an amazing job by interviewing 70 paleontologists, artists, and other Dino lovers explained why dinosaurs are amazing creatures. This documentary can teach new generation of students who love dinosaurs and can dream about becoming a paleontologist. For me as a paleontology student who is neurodivergent studying to become a paleontologist. This documentary reminds me how much studying, and learning about dinosaurs means to me. I want to say to Tony and James they did an excellent job making this dinosaur documentary. They should make more documentaries about "Why Dinosaurs" and science in general is really important especially in this day and time. See more Read all reviews
