Hunting for new 3D releases (there are too few good ones actually) this Bluray was recommended to me by a salesperson in the store. I was positively surprised. Unlike other cheap 3D productions trying to jump on the bandwagon for a few quick bucks this Bluray has a good script, excellent 3D animations as well as educational value. My kids liked the way how the earths history has been graphically presented. The script and expert statements are good. It leaves you with this awe on how little we actually know about earths development and history. And obviously: More than 99% of all species that ever lived on the planet are extinct today.

Poorly organized storyline to present another CGI-heavy IMAX experience never even utilizes the use 15/70 during production of the film. I found the factotum slides before the feature more engaging. I knew fully well that the film probably wasn't going to be magnificent, as I normally avoid CGI films. Did not have 3D capability at my home theater, so a lot of the shots wound up grainy, fuzzy, and tough on the eyes. The historic representation of 18th-century skull discovery, though important, seems too scattered through the film, you wind up confused. Granted, I fell asleep for about 5 minutes in the middle of the movie, but I became exhausted. sitting debating whether or not to leave. If an IMAX presentation is included in your museum admittance, and this is the only one showing, try to find something else to do. Just my opinion...
