After Jurassic World: Rebirth, Netflix Has a More Exciting Dinosaur Release Next Week (With Spielberg Involved)

by

The original Jurassic Park is considered a brilliant combination of exciting science fiction and groundbreaking special effects. While it was almost universally praised for its direction and meaningful themes, later films in the series have been much more controversial. These sequels often failed to capture the magic of the 1993 original, frequently dividing audiences with their storylines and overall tone. Despite mixed reviews, the Jurassic Park franchise has consistently been a huge success at the box office, demonstrating a never-ending public fascination with dinosaurs. This success continues with the recent release of Jurassic World: Rebirth on Netflix, after it earned $869 million in theaters. And Netflix isn’t stopping there – they’re adding even more dinosaur content to their streaming service.

On March 6th, Netflix will release a new four-part documentary series called The Dinosaurs. This series offers a comprehensive look at the Mesozoic Era, exploring the lives of dinosaurs from their earliest ancestors to their extinction. Featuring narration by Morgan Freeman and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, the project is a collaboration between Amblin Documentaries and Silverback Films. Unlike other dinosaur documentaries that focus on spectacle, The Dinosaurs uses state-of-the-art visual effects from Industrial Light & Magic to accurately recreate 170 million years of dinosaur evolution, emphasizing their biology and natural environments.

Can Netflix’s The Dinosaurs Be the New Planet Dinosaur?

Dinosaurs have captured our imaginations for over a hundred years, but surprisingly few films and shows have gotten them right. While big-budget movies often portray dinosaurs as simple monsters, it’s rare to see a project that truly captures their world and how amazing they were. For many fans, the 2011 series Planet Dinosaur set the standard, using impressive visuals and the latest fossil discoveries to show realistic dinosaur behavior and habitats. Now, the upcoming Netflix series The Dinosaurs looks poised to challenge that standard, promising a definitive and scientifically accurate portrayal built on decades of new discoveries and filmmaking skill.

Netflix’s The Dinosaurs looks incredibly realistic thanks to cutting-edge visual effects from Industrial Light & Magic – something older documentaries couldn’t achieve. Trailers show amazing details, like how Alamosaurus herds interact and the feathers on Tyrannosaurus Rex, reflecting the latest discoveries in paleontology. With Steven Spielberg involved, the documentary promises a compelling, epic story while remaining scientifically accurate. This combination could make The Dinosaurs a new standard for nature documentaries.

The Dinosaurs is scheduled to premiere in its entirety on Netflix on March 6th.
