- TriviaCGI effect sequences were done by Industrial Light & Magic or ILM, the same company that created the computer effects of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World film series. According to paleontologist Bhart-Anjan Bhullar, a scientific consultant who worked with the ILM team, some of the animal models seen in the series could have been based on those seen in the Jurassic World films, albeit heavily updated to resemble real prehistoric animals rather than movie monsters. Bhullar suggested that ILM was aware that the Jurassic films had a mixed reputation among paleontology enthusiasts because the creatures seen in the films were not designed to be scientific (such as the oversized, scaly "raptors" that hark back to 1970s and 1980s depictions), so they tried to "get it right" with this series, and there was a lot of back and forth between the scientists and animators. Nevertheless, online paleo-communities have noted that some of the CGI animals presented in the series are still not up to 2020s scientific standards and feature odd mistakes like inaccurate skull shapes and body proportions. A few mistakes can be chalked up to science advancing while the series was being developed: the armored fish Dunkleosteus is shown with a long, slender body, though a 2023 study argued it would have been significantly shorter and more robust in life.

Featured review
This is a different series...also with Morgan Freeman
So yeah..its poor timing. But i thought Netflix was pointing me at a show I had just finished watching. But no. It is different.
This show..is amazing. With amazing voice over and amazing animation...at least until they move. THen it gets a little wonky..but still not bad.
My only complaint...and its a big one. IS that I absolutely hate the fabled story telling sections. This catbird species's males danced together for male dominance..and then they continue that trend, talking about how it probably did this and probably did that. But they don't say probably. They show and say with certainty that these fabled stories happened.
That was my biggest complaint with the previous morgan freeman documentary..the forced storytelling. Its such a lame device.
And i had just seen the same octopus male pretending to be a female at least twice before this. And it is even the same footage.
