A new series scored 100 per cent on a review site. It is a four-part show called The Dinosaurs. Director Steven Spielberg is the executive producer. Fifty experts on prehistory helped to create what Earth looked like 235 million years ago. We can see how the dinosaurs developed, survived, and became extinct.
The designers used CGI to create the ancient continent of Pangea. They also made volcanoes, floods, and the dinosaurs. The series starts with the birth of the dinosaurs. It ends with the T. rex. An actor said this is the most iconic dinosaur of all time. We also see the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs.
