YMMV / The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs

Go To

  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • Dinosaurs eating meat in gory detail, and some of the experiments also qualify.
    • The Triceratops killing the T. rex, we see the inside of the T. rex when it's getting punctured by the Triceratops' horn.
  • Tear Jerker: The death of Tyrannosaurus in the first episode is a surprisingly sad moment. The predator has realized the fight with the Triceratops isn't going well and attempts to retreat, but it doesn't run away fast enough and the Triceratops gores it, and the T-Rex limps away. Somber music plays as it collapses on the ground, tries to get back up, but doesn't have the strength, before its eyes shut and dies. It reminds the audience that the feared predator was still an animal just trying to survive in a kill or be killed world like the Triceratops.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: The program had some spectacular effects for a TV Documentary, especially the parts when the presenter walked around and interacted with the dinosaurs. That said, the CGI model for the Tyrannosaurus skeleton looked quite bad.
