READING:

A new series has scored 100 per cent on a review site and is at number one on Netflix. The mini-series is a four-episode documentary called The Dinosaurs. Superstar actor Morgan Freeman narrated it. Legendary director Steven Spielberg is the executive producer. He also directed the movie Jurassic Park. He used 50 experts on prehistory to help make the show. They recreated what life on Earth looked like 235 million years ago. The four episodes show how the earliest dinosaurs developed, survived for millions of years, and became extinct.

The producers used CGI to create the dinosaurs. CGI designers recreated the ancient supercontinent of Pangea. This was a single land mass that slowly broke up to form the continents of today. The designers also made volcanoes, sand storms, floods, old forests, and the dinosaurs. The series starts with the birth of tiny dinosaurs. It ends with the enormous T. rex. Freeman says these are "the most iconic dinosaurs of all time". It also shows us the asteroid impact that killed off the dinosaurs. A newspaper said, "the geology and meteorology are powerfully made".
