Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real is (I believe) a continuation of the "Walking with Dinosaurs" Trilogy, with a lesser known "Sea Monsters" at the following this.
"Walking with Dinosaurs" was interesting. However, it was WAY too long. (If you watch the episodes as if they were a whole movie. That adds up to 180 minutes.) "Dragons: A Fantasy made Real" has luckily been cut down to about 99 minutes, which is a great and short run time.
So, here's what "Dragons: A Fantasy made Real" really is: It blends folklore and science together to make up how dragons would probably have lived if they existed.
The people who made this took parts and abilities from real animals to create our dragons. For example, the dragons in this movie spit fire exactly how the Bombadeir Beetle does.
What else is interesting is how they blend in folklore. After the massive death of the dinosaurs, most of the survivors were aquatic creatures, such as Colecanths and Crocodiles. Therefore, science says that the dragons must have gone aquatic if they wanted to survive. When the dragons in this movie do somehow evolve to become aquatic, they end up looking very similar to the Water Dragons that were rumored to exist. When the dragons emerge from water, they keep their snake-like form, and move to the forests. This is similar to the Chinese dragons in myth.
"Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real" does get boring, but it ends up looking very smart too. It blends fact and fiction to make up one wild ride for the viewer. The special effects are amazing too.
I think I would give this something like a 6.5 out of ten, but since it is so well-done, it ranks higher than that.
You will believe.
8/10
