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, David Attenborough the worlds 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 sciences more enduring mysteries, discovering that the marvel of pterosaur flight has evolutionary echoes that resonate even today. Flying Monsters 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 HD. 　　译文(2): 几千年来，人类一直相信曾经有会飞的怪【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。但它们真的存在于我们的噩梦之外吗？两亿两千万年前恐龙开始统治地球。但是另一群爬行动物即将做出一个非同寻常的飞跃: 翼龙正在控制天空。关于这些神秘生物如何以及为什么飞向天空的故事比任何小说都更具有幻想性。在《飞翔的怪兽》一书中，这位世界领先的自然学家大卫·艾登堡着手揭开神秘翼龙的真相，翼龙的翼展长达40英尺，相当于现代喷气式飞机的翼展。爱登堡与科学家合作，以了解令人难以置信的翼龙进化故事，这个故事发生在新墨西哥州、英国莱姆里吉斯的侏罗纪海岸、法国南部的一个古老翼龙登陆点，以及德国的一个化石坑，在那里发现了近乎完美的翼龙标本。古生物学的中心问题和最大谜团之一是: 翼龙是如何飞行的? 为什么？长颈鹿那么大的蜥蜴是如何无视地心引力，在史前的天空中翱翔的呢？在他试图回答这些问题时所发现的信息的驱使下，Attenborough 开始解开一个更持久的谜团，发现翼龙飞行的奇迹有进化的回声，甚至在今天仍能引起共鸣。《飞天怪物》是一部开创性的电影，它利用尖端的3D 技术和 CGI 技术，将巨大的飞天怪物和它们的史前世界的故事栩栩如生地呈现在观众面前。所有年龄的观众将在敬畏，因为他们进入世界和经验，从来没有过，真正的飞行怪物在高清。
