The Day the Dinosaurs Died (2017 TV Movie) User Reviews

Paints a very real picture supporting the theory of the dinosaurs' death 66 million years ago

I always love watching anything from Nova. In this documentary we meet Alice, a paleontologist and Ben, a biologist, who walk us through the day the dinosaurs died. From Ben's point of view, we experience extracting rock samples from the Chicxulub crater in the Gulf of Mexico. Alice takes us with her as she visits a magnificent fossil site in New Jersey. This documentary paints a very real picture of the whole scenario, showing new evidence that supports the theory of the dinosaurs' deaths and what happened to the rest of the world after the impact of the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs. It is breath-taking and intriguing. I recommend it for ages 10 to 18 as well as adults and give it 5 out of 5 stars. By Rachael V., KIDS FIRST! Juror

A step backwards for Alice Roberts

[anml-1 · 5/10 · 28 January 2020]

Much confusion between theory and fact in this one, not what's expected from Alice Roberts. Perhaps it was made mainly for U.S. audiences. Some very interesting and real geology though, and lot's of CGI of course. I wouldn't recommend it for children really, they should be taught facts, or at least told when things are only theories. Still, Alice made it watchable, and, again, the geological research was fascinating.
