A new series has scored 100 per cent the review site Rotten Tomatoes and is number one Netflix. The mini-series is a four-episode Netflix documentary. It is called The Dinosaurs. It has powerful figures Hollywood behind it. Superstar actor Morgan Freeman narrated it. Legendary director Steven Spielberg is the executive producer. He also directed the blockbuster movie Jurassic Park. Mr Spielberg used 50 experts prehistory to help make the show. They recreated what life Earth looked between 235 million and 66 million years ago. The four episodes document how the earliest dinosaurs developed, survived millions of years, and became extinct.
The producers used CGI to create the landscapes and dinosaurs. CGI designers recreated the ancient supercontinent Pangea. This was a single land mass that slowly broke apart tens of millions years to form the continents today. The designers also made volcanic eruptions, sand storms, floods, million-year-old forests, and ( course) the dinosaurs. The series starts the birth of tiny dinosaurs. It ends the enormous T. rex and triceratops, which Freeman says are "the most iconic dinosaurs all time". It also shows us the asteroid impact event that killed the dinosaurs. The Guardian newspaper reviewed the series. It said, "the geology and meteorology are powerfully rendered".
