Walking with Dinosaurs – The Arena Spectacular
Wembley Arena
Review by Unsa Chaudri
Be prepared to be amazed!
Creatures of a mystical nature, dinosaurs are animals that
have long fascinated the young and adults alike and Global Creatures, in association
with the BBC worldwide, invites us to experience what life was like for those
who walked the earth millions of years ago.
I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was drawn to the posters
dotted around London and I was not disappointed.
The show starts with the birth of small ‘vegetarian’
dinosaurs, as one by one they begin to hatch. Huxley, the palaeontologist then
introduces us to a predator, one who is very hungry and so the journey of the
dinosaurs begins.
The thing that most struck me was the attention to detail. Each and every dinosaur, plant, rock and every part
of the set was intricately designed.
The dinosaurs moved with agility and such precision that you
could almost believe you were seeing the real deal. To anyone with a bit of
imagination, it seems as if you have been catapulted back to when the dinosaurs
walked the earth and you are a spectator watching them in their habitat.
As each dinosaur brings the arena alive, Huxley commentates,
educating the audience, reminding us or explaining for the first time what the
dinosaurs are called, what their characteristics are, amongst many other interesting
facts.
The music and lighting only help add to the atmosphere, the
arena spectacular lives up to the name – it truly is spectacular.
I would recommend Walking with Dinosaurs to anyone who wants
to find out more about dinosaurs or anyone who wants to be amazed by
technology.
