Hello all you English-language learners! How are you doing? Well, spring is almost here, so please stay strong and put up with the cold weather for a few more weeks. By the end of this month, we all can enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms all over Japan. Until then, you might want to watch a good movie or TV show in the comfort of your own home. If that sounds good to you, we’d like to recommend a fun, new educational show for you to watch in English .
A new documentary series called The Dinosaurs has just been released and is very popular on Netflix. The four-episode show has a perfect score on the popular American review website Rotten Tomatoes. Famous actor Morgan Freeman narrates the series, and famous director Steven Spielberg is the executive producer. Spielberg also directed the dinosaur movie Jurassic Park.
The show explains what Earth looked like millions of years ago. About 50 experts helped create the series. Using computer graphics, the team rebuilt the ancient supercontinent called Pangaea. They also created volcanoes, storms, floods, forests, and many dinosaurs. The story begins with the first small dinosaurs that lived long ago.
The series later shows the biggest and most famous dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops. In the final part, the show explains how a huge asteroid hit Earth. This event, called the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, caused the dinosaurs to die out. A review by The Guardian praised the show’s realistic science and visuals.
What do you think? Does this sound interesting to you? If so, please watch the show and share your thoughts with us about The Dinosaurs when you come to BRIDGE again.
