Basically everything
>Name is a cashgrab, remake is WWD in name only and nothing connects it to the original everyone loved
>Music is forgettable
>Narrator is nothing special
>Storytelling is weak even without constantly being interrupted. All that ever happened was that herbivores walked around and had to avoid getting eaten, which they usually did because the predator stepped on a fucking twig at the worst possible moment
>Paleontology segments were baffling. Killed the pacing of whatever story they were trying to tell and explained very little science behind what was actually going on. Also tried to be diegetic in a way that ultimately made it make even less sense because why the fuck do paleontologists have a 3D printer in the field? Why are they explaining what a T. rex brain is like to each other? Is it everyone's first day on the job? Do they make the same poop jokes every time they find a coprolite? Why didn't they just do regular talking head segments?
>Paleontology segments were put in because people are so retarded now that a significant portion of the population think dinosaurs are fictional, but clearly staging all of the dig site footage is only going to strengthen that belief because none of it even feels organic to begin with
>Biodiversity is at an all time low, there were max 4 species in any given ecosystem and there's a 50% chance one of those species was Edmontosaurus and another was an azhdarchid pterosaur
>Reused models and recycled footage everywhere which only makes the biodiversity factor feel worse
>Incredibly jarring stock sound effects compared to the iconic sound design of the original
>No practical effects, no gore/uncensored violence. Nothing on the level of the dead T. rex fetus, the bisected Ophthalmosaurus carcass or the cannibalistic Coelophysis. Animals can't even die in a flood without a cut to black.
I genuinely have no idea who this documentary is even for. Kids will be as bored to tears as I was.
