Plot: Flying Monsters 3D with David Attenborough.

For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. But did they really exist beyond our nightmares?

220 million years ago dinosaurs were beginning their domination of Earth. But another group of reptiles was about to make an extraordinary leap: pterosaurs were taking control of the skies. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastical than any fiction.

In Flying Monsters 3D Sir David Attenborough, the world’s leading naturalist, sets out to uncover the truth about the enigmatic pterosaurs, whose wingspans of up to 40 feet were equal to that of a modern day jet plane. Attenborough works with scientists to understand the incredible story of the evolution of the pterosaurs, a story that unfolds in such stunning locations as New Mexico, the Jurassic Coast of Lyme Regis in Britain, an ancient pterosaur landing site in Southern France and a fossil pit in Germany where near perfect pterosaur specimens have been found.

The central question and one of the greatest mysteries in palaeontology is: how and why did pterosaurs fly? How did lizards the size of giraffes defy gravity and soar through prehistoric skies? Driven by the information he finds as he attempts to answer these questions, Attenborough starts to unravel one of science’s more enduring mysteries, discovering that the marvel of pterosaur flight has evolutionary echoes that resonate even today.

Flying Monsters 3D is a groundbreaking film that uses cutting-edge 3D technology and CGI to bring the story of giant flying monsters and their prehistoric world to life. Audiences of all ages will be in awe as they enter the world and experience, as never before, real flying monsters – in 3D.

Apparently this was a Christmas special last year on Sky and has just had a 3D re-vamp. Still, I am looking forward to watching this on a large screen and in 3D!

There was some footage for this at the screening this morning when they were promoting Sky 3D

It looked quite good too! Especially the flying sequences.

Just looked at the BBFC website. This is 40 mins long. Hardly seems worth the effort getting up early to go and see it.

I've already decided to pass on this one. There's lots of engineering works on the tube tomorrow so it would be a nightmare for me to get to Westfield. Plus, at 40 minutes long, it doesn't seem worth the effort. It would have been nice to see the 3D though.

Well if the weather in Edinburgh is per thhe forecast the rain tomorrow is probably going to mean it's warmer than it was today at 8!!! if the rain gets rid of the haar. Choice, rain or haar and I'll go. If by some miracle it's warm and sunny I may not!

I gavae up my tickets too. I'm going to see All That Jazz at the ICA which starts at 12.30 so not really enough time to do both
