Dinosaurs at Dusk is a whirlwind time travel adventure back to the epoch of the Dinosaurs. Propel yourself back through time to explore an Earth teeming with Pterosaurs and ancestors of modern-day birds: the feathered Dinosaurs!

Lucy and her father fly through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous to soar with Quetzalcoatlus, escape from raptors, and ride behind Argentinosaurus while searching for clues to the origins of flight. When time runs out, they experience first-hand the cataclysmic “last day” of the dinosaurs. The combination of all that activity with those gorgeous full-dome vistas makes this the most kinetic planetarium film ever produced.
