Ne pas réveiller le chat qui dort... C'est ce que le milliardaire John Hammond aurait dû se rappeler avant de se lancer dans le "clonage" de dinosaures. C'est à partir d'une goutte de sang absorbée par un moustique fossilisé que John Hammond et son équipe ont réussi à faire renaître une dizaine d'espèces de dinosaures. Il s'apprête maintenant avec la complicité du docteur Alan Grant, paléontologue de renom, et de son amie Ellie, à ouvrir le plus grand parc à thème du monde. Mais c'était sans compter la cupidité et la malveillance de l'informaticien Dennis Nedry, et éventuellement des dinosaures, seuls maîtres sur l'île...
When scientists exploring the Amazon River stumble on a “missing link” connecting humans and fish, they plan to capture it for later study. But the Creature has plans of his own, and has set his sights on the lead scientist's beautiful fiancée, Kay.
A mysterious artifact unearthed below a London subway station proves to have powerful psychic effects on the people around.
David Attenborough brings to life, in unprecedented detail, the last days of the dinosaurs. Palaeontologist Robert DePalma has made an incredible discovery in a prehistoric graveyard: fossilised creatures, astonishingly well preserved, that could help change our understanding of the last days of the dinosaurs. Evidence from his site records the day when an asteroid bigger than Mount Everest devastated our planet and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Based on brand new evidence, witness the catastrophic events of that day play out minute by minute.
Imagine a biology lab filled by a 40-foot specimen, ready for dissection. The creature has skin like a crocodile, eyes the size of softballs and intestines large enough to fit your arm. T. rex Autopsy will go inside a full-size T. rex for the first time ever to reveal how the 65-million-year-old beast may have lived. Using cutting-edge special effects techniques, and in collaboration with esteemed veterinary surgeons, anatomists and paleontologists, T. rex Autopsy will build the world’s first full-size anatomically precise Tyrannosaurus rex, based on the very latest research and findings. The massive monster will be lifelike inside and out, giving scientists the chance to touch it, smell it, scan it, x-ray it and cut it open from head to toe.
A giant prehistoric praying mantis, recently freed from the Arctic ice, voraciously preys on American military at the DEW Line and works its way south.
David Attenborough tells the story of the discovery and reconstruction in Argentina of the world's largest-known dinosaur, a brand new species of titanosaur.
Five times, Earth has faced apocalyptic events that swept nearly all life from the face of the planet. What did these prehistoric creatures look like? What catastrophes caused their disappearance? And how did our distant ancestors survive and give rise to the world we know today?
Two years after the discovery of "Sue," the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton found to date, government officials seize the remains and claim that "Sue" was stolen from federal land.
Titans of the Ice Age transports viewers to the beautiful and otherworldly frozen landscapes of North America, Europe and Asia ten thousand years before modern civilization. Dazzling computer-generated imagery brings this mysterious era to life - from saber-toothed cats and giant sloths to the iconic mammoths, giants both feared and hunted by prehistoric humans.
In a race against developers in the Rocky Mountains, paleontologists uncover a unique fossil site packed with astonishingly well-preserved bones of mammoths, mastodons, and other giant extinct beasts. The discovery opens a highly focused window on the vanished world of the Ice Age in North America.
A documentary about the 1999 discovery of a Mastodon skeleton in a Hyde Park backyard.
Three researchers work on a paleontological project focusing on two dinosaurs: one fictional, the one created by special effects genius Ray Harryhausen for the film The Valley of Gwangi (1969); the other real, the Concavenator corcovatus, whose remains were discovered in 2003 at the Las Hoyas site, in the province of Cuenca (Spain), very close to where the filming took place.
The film reveals the life, plight and loves of the eminent Mary Anning, an 1800's fossil hunter - navigating her career and research in a male dominated society at a time when women's research was largely unrecognised or plagiarised by men. Predominantly unknown despite her spectacular finds, including Icthyiousauri, a Pterodactyl and Plesiosaurus, and notwithstanding the fact that Darwins' 'Origin of Species' was largely influenced by her work. She is at last becoming the most celebrated paleontologist of all time.
In Morocco, new excavations on the site of Jebel Irhoud upset the generally accepted view of the dating of the appearance of man.
An entertaining documentary look at dinosaurs with Emmy Award-winning special effects, feature film clips and stills, commentary by leading paleontologists of the time, and an on camera as well as voice-over narrative by Christopher Reeve.

Quatre ans après le terrible fiasco de son Jurassic Park, le milliardaire John Hammond rappelle le Dr Ian Malcolm pour l'informer de son nouveau projet. Sur une île déserte, voisine du parc, vivent en liberté des centaines de dinosaures de toutes tailles et de toutes espèces. Ce sont des descendants des animaux clonés en laboratoire. D'abord réticent, Ian se décide à rejoindre le docteur quand il apprend que sa fiancée fait partie de l'expédition scientifique. Il ignore qu'une autre expédition qui n'a pas les mêmes buts est également en route.
Huit ans après les événements surréalistes survenus lors de sa visite au Jurassic Park du richissime John Hammond, le paléontologue Alan Grant se rappelle toujours de sa rencontre, d'abord magique puis effroyable, avec ces dinosaures ramenés à la vie grâce aux incroyables progrès de la génétique.
