It is 2011. Werner Herzog has gone to the picture show. Werner likes to mix his Raisinets in with the popcorn, as well as some sliced South American tubers he brought from home. He is seeing the new Terrence Malick film, The Tree of Life. During the movie, a wounded dinosaur lays in a stream. A predator approaches and stands over its prey. Werner sits up in his seat, although this movement is imperceptible.
The predator cocks its head, and walks away. What? That's not right. The dinosaur has shown...compassion??? This is not how that obscene pervert that is nature operates! This is all wrong! A heat shoots up through Werner's face, his ears pound, his head full of blood.…

"Hey, its a beautiful day outside! The sun! The sun is out for the first time in weeks! Why don't you go out and-"
SHUT THE FUCK UP, BRAIN. WERNER HERZOG NARRATED A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT DINOSAURS.
Stunningly bad CGI, this really has to be seen to be believed. It has completely floored me, its very existence baffles me. How did this come to pass? Why is Werner Herzog narrating this with the seriousness of a benevolent god? WHAT IS HAPPENING? WHERE ARE MY SHOES? WHAT DOES DINOTASIA MEEEEAN? -
Horrible CGI, watched to learn and hear narration from Herzog.
Got a little bit of Herzog and learned nothing. The fuck man?
Herzog can speak!

a poetic, existential globe & decades-spanning epic revenge fantasy, arrestingly beautiful hallucinogenic family drama, unflinching and raw character study with a cast of beautifully rendered dinosaurs and a narration so beautiful that it sounds like the first words to have ever been spoken on earth.

Dinotasia interested me because it was marketed as a dinosaur documentary, so I was surprised and disappointed when I realized that it's nothing more than a series of unrelated and uninformative vignettes, which serve only as mindless entertainment. It is comprised of both used and unused footage from the 2011 miniseries Dinosaur Revolution, but unlike Dinosaur Revolution, it doesn't even attempt to teach the audience anything about the creatures that lived in the Mesozoic era, eschewing the documentary style of the miniseries almost entirely and instead going for an uneven mix of high-stakes adventure, slapstick comedy, and violent action. Werner Herzog's out-of-place narration is pretty much the only reminder that this isn't a B-movie that just so happens to take…

the world of Dino content is a desolate and strange place. if there’s one thing more phoned-in here than the CG it’s Herzog’s “nature is a screaming abyss” bit. Still, mostly gives you the goods, and zero Chris Pratt

I enjoyed this way too much.
I thought it was just going to be a dino doc (much in the vein of "Walking with Dinosaurs") and it very much is, but the glimpses into these dinosaur's lives are so over the top and cartoony they had me laughing out loud quite a bit.
Narrated by the great Werner Herzog, "Dinotasia" plays out like one big, violent episode of Looney Tunes. I think the fact that I thought it was a serious doc (I knew nothing about when it was put on, only that Herzog narrated) made it all the more amusing as I realized what it was.
The whole thing is told through CG, which starts out looking pretty rough…

5/18:
alright, I had to sleep on this one. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? is it supposed to be a comedy? I never thought it would be possible to make DINOSAURS paired with WERNER F'ING HERZOG ridiculous and boring, but look at this. I saw it because I wanted to hear Werner's voice (that sounds creepy...) but there isn't enough of it. I suggest watching it just because it is so silly. I truly believe that the only possibility is that due to the harsh environment, dinosaurs were nothing but eating/mating/fighting machines, but here THE DINOSAURS HAVE FEELINGS. I THINK ONE SHEDS A TEAR. THEY ARE VERY FANCILY COLORED WITH INTELLECTUAL PERSONALITIES. IS THIS A JOKE. SEND HELP -
You'd think this movie was going to be a documentary, especially due to Werner Herzog's narration credit. Not so, this is an incredibly bizarre series of vignettes that take place in the prehistoric world. I see this movie getting torn up a lot on here, but I think most of that comes from a misunderstanding what the movie is. Well, most of it, there is some stuff in this movie that gets pretty ridiculous. Scientific accuracy is the least of our worries here.
Dinosaurs feel the need for revenge. Dinosaurs get kept up at night comedically. Dinosaurs feel grief for their dead children. Pterosaurs push their deadbeat kids off cliffs. Dinosaurs eat psychocybin mushrooms and get high as fuck. Dinosaurs…

If you told me that there was a whole segment of a Shunosaurus getting high off eating mushrooms, I would never have believed you.

Had to wipe the taste of Walking with Dinosaurs 2013 out of my mouth so why not a dialogueless doc with occasional verbose narration from Werner Herzog. Also whoever came up with the idea of warpaint T-Rexss deserves a medal.
