Trivia
The Allosaurus got a complete visual make-over for this special. They look much different from their original appearance in the second episode of Walking with Dinosaurs (1999). See more »Goofs
When one of the Allosaurus babies catches a scorpion, you can see the shadow of the scorpion moving in a different direction than the Allosaurus' shadow. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

I was honestly touched by this show, really. Both parts of it, how they entirely made the show in part 2, and the show itself in part 1.
Big Al is an amazing insight into the life of this creature, and what amazes me even more, was that I felt for the creature. I felt as though I was watching its life, and when Al died, I honestly felt bad for how it all ended for him.
I thought it was greatly done, just all in all. visually stunning, extremely informative, and it really does tell a story, a story that seems real.
For making me actually care about this, and for just such beautifully work (scientifically and story-line, which is also technically science :P) I give Big Al a 10/10.
And I'd like to say. Rest in Peace Big Al.
