史前系列：大滅絕
歷史上，地球曾經歷過五次世界末日；遭逢劇變，地球上幾乎所有生物都被滅絕，每次只有極少數物種能倖存下來，建立全新的世界。
這些史前世界是怎樣的？是什麼大災難導致一切消失？我們的老祖宗又是如何成功逃過這五次世界末日，存活至今，建立我們現在認知的世界？
今集糅合三維動畫技術、視覺效果和拍攝，將史前動植物活現眼前，並重塑這五次物種大滅絕的情景，見證人類的冒起。科學界認為第六次大滅絕迫在眉睫，而這次全然是由人類一手造成。

Five times, the Earth has faced apocalyptic events. Cataclysms that have swept away all life forms, or almost. Each time, a handful of species has survived, establishing a new world.
What did these prehistoric worlds look like? What catastrophes led to their disappearance? How did our distant ancestors manage to survive the five mass extinctions that the Earth has suffered, finally giving rise to the world we know today?
Combining CGI of ancient animal and plant life, VFX, and filming, Prehistoric Worlds looks back at the five mass extinctions of life on Earth that allowed the advent of the human race. On the brink of a sixth mass extinction that the scientific community considers imminent – this time caused by mankind – this film gives us an interesting and powerful look at Man's existence on the scale of the history of our planet.
