Dinosaur 13 (2014)

Dinosaur 13: Directed by Todd Douglas Miller. With Stan Adelstein, Lanice Archer, Robert Bakker, Philip Currie. A documentary about the discovery of the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil ever found.

“9.1 of 10. True to its title, it is not only about the 13th tyrannosaurus rex discovered, but even more so about the hard work the paleontologists put in to recover it and maintain it in as good condition as possible. This isnu0026#39;t just another dinosaur quickie to grab easy money.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnlike most documentaries, it has hero and villain excitement that makes everything you learn, including about the law, taxes, prison, and government appointments, that much more interesting and easily enjoyed by those without a strong interest in paleontology or who were looking for visuals, scares, and dinosaur chases.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn sum, we have an educational documentary worthy of even college courses and PhDs that also provides the intrigue of a legal or political drama. It wonu0026#39;t be surprising to see some closely-based fictional movies popping up trying to capture this with more action, music, and sex appeal. You canu0026#39;t, however, count on them to deliver the depth of what you already have here.”
