I was very interested in this documentary for a couple of reasons: 1. I love dinosaurs and dragons, and have always wondered if they weren't one and the same. 2. I'm developing a graphic novel project that delves into this very subject, so this was partly for research and partly for fun.
I was not disappointed! Cloud Ten Pictures did a great job of presenting the information in a clear and concise manner with lots of pictures, clips, and the authoritative voices of many experts from the scientific community. As a Christian, I felt this film made a very strong case that the creatures we know as dragons were in fact, dinosaurs as they became entangled in the world of man. In fact, there are tales of the Chinese breeding dragons!
Along the way we learn that every continent has legends of both a great flood, and giant reptiles (dragons). In fact, some stories are very, very recent!
The DVD also contains a bonus feature entitled, "The Science Behind the Faith" which does a good job of exploring the relationship between the Bible and science and detailing the faith of some of the most famous scientists of all time including Sir Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, and Johannes Kepler. It does manage to work in the trailers from some other Cloud Ten Pictures movies which was odd, but the rest of the feature was excellent.
Artwork and cinematography were excellent as was the sound and music. This is a must-view for every teenager. It reinforces the accuracy of the scriptures. We are left with this impression: the Bible may not be a science book, but the science it does mention, can be trusted.
