Dinosaurs Alive
Dinosaurs Alive is recommended for ages 8 and up.
Dinosaurs Alive is a global adventure of science and discovery featuring the earliest dinosaurs of the Triassic Period to the monsters of the Cretaceous, reincarnated in life-size 3D for the giant screen. Audiences journey with some of the world's preeminent paleontologists as they uncover evidence that descendents of dinosaurs still walk (or fly) among us.
From the exotic, trackless expanses and sand dunes of Mongolia's Gobi Desert to the dramatic sandstone buttes of New Mexico, the film will follow American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) paleontologists as they explore some of the greatest dinosaur finds in history. Through the magic of scientifically accurate computer-generated animation, these newly discovered creatures, and some familiar favorites, will come alive in a very big way.
Beginning in the 1920s, AMNH scientist and adventurer Roy Chapman Andrews, who is believed to be the inspiration for the Indiana Jones character, led five expeditions to the Gobi Desert. Andrews and his team found hundreds of dinosaur remains, many new to science, including the first Velociraptor and the first dinosaur nests with eggs. Andrews also happened to take along a Hollywood cameraman with him to film the expedition's discoveries. This rare and beautifully preserved footage, juxtaposed against the large-format footage of today's expeditions, provides audiences with a unique perspective into the field paleontology over time.
In one of the film's most dramatic sequences, a Velociraptor and a Protoceratops lock in mortal combat as a sand dune sweeps over them and kills them. The famous fossil of these fighting dinosaurs shows that they died in a deadly embrace, claws and jaws still grasping at each other. In another exciting development cameras capture teams unearthing one of the oldest dinosaurs ever found in North America.
