YMMV / March of the Dinosaurs

Go To

  • Badass Decay: The old Edmontosaurus. Justified, and started prior to the events of the show because of a brain tumor. It goes From Bad to Worse for him.
  • Base-Breaking Character: Is Scar cute or annoying?
  • Narm: The Albertosaurus pack attacking the Edmontosaurus herd is legitimately terrifying, but one scene reaches absurdity when one of the albertosaurs actually jumps a long distance to attack it's prey. Large animals simply cannot make long and high lunges and the Albertosaurus is no exception. The rest of the scene is still scary though.
  • Nightmare Fuel: There's one scene where the Edmontosaurus are ambushed by the albertosaurs where one literally leaps (like a raptor) out of nowhere to tackle one of the poor plant-eaters. Imagine three tons of teeth and death leaping at you. Not to mention that the filmmakers use slow motion to chilling effect in some of these scenes.
  • Nightmare Retardant: The appearance of the feathered tyrannosaurs can come across this way to some viewers, which isn't helped by the ridiculous Contrived Stupidity they often fall prey to in the program.
  • Special Effect Failure: The Troodon feathers very noticeably clip into their neck.
    • At least one Edmontosaurus model walks in the air.
