I didn't like it all that much.
It was nice story. It was certainly pretty. The 'what if' storyline was a bit confusing at times. They kept throwing in real facts in the middle of their made up story and didn't bother to distinguish between the two. There was nice stuff about Chinese dragons and some wonderful pictures of real artifacts, but it was mixed in with the fiction. Like the stained glass windows they kept showing (the dragon in the mountains with the men who had spears) was that a real work? Did they just make it up to fit their 'story?' I've watched it twice now and still have no friggin' clue.
I would have rather seen them talk more about what we do have on dragons (the stories, the engravings, etc...) and then try to show that there's a good possiblity that dragons were real. How they could have survived. What they might have evolved from and under what conditions. Sort of like the Dinosaur series they did a couple of years ago. "Here's what it might have looked like; Here's how we know." They kept talking about how every culture has their version of the dragon, but it never went any further.
I don't know. It was alright, but it certainly wasn't what I was expecting.
