REVIEW
VIRGINIA HEFFERMAN
THE NEW YORK TIMES
The show's supreme naturalism adds polemical heft to its visual hypothesis, (they caught all this stuff on camera, didn't they?), making its account of prehistory seem like much more than a hypothesis. Monsters We Met looks like reportage; that's what makes it exciting.

AUTHOR
Monsters We Met benefits from excellent animation of the extinct animals and intelligent reenactments.
