"Flying Monsters 3D with David Attenborough" is a 39-minute documentary movie from 2011, so this one had its 5th anniversary last year. It is among the most known works by director Matthew Dyas, but the star here is obviously writer and animal documentary expert David Attenborough, who also appears in this one on several occasions as he usually does. This movie that runs shortly under 40 minutes focuses predominantly on the connection between flying dinosaurs back then and birds today, but there are also connection to other animals like we see a lizard early on who somehow manages to glide thanks to his physique. Anyway, this was a pretty good watch I must say. It taught me many things I did not know before and the effects and visual side of this short movie are really on the highest level. Also, it is a very focused film thanks to its runtime and never drags. So yeah the reason i still only give it 3 stars out of 5 is because dinosaurs and flying animals have always been among my lesser known area of interest, so it is all subjective I guess. People with a greater interest in paleontology or ornithology will have a really amazing time checking this one out, even if it probably will mot teach them as many new things as it did to me. Overall verdict is of course a thumbs-up. Go see it.
