... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreThe production value is absolutely amazing and is so informative. You honestly can't believe what your watching because it doesn't seem possible. The shots they do are so creative and is well worth the time. A must watch for everyone.
... View MoreA beautiful snapshot of our earth taken with patient and meticulous cinematography, Planet Earth is a great general wildlife documentary. Covering several themes including the ocean, desert, jungle, forests, caves, and Poles, Planet Earth's singular mission is to present young audiences to the diverse habitats and how each life form intertwines with each other. In this respect, it succeeds immensely. David Attenborough does his usual marvelous exposition. One flaw of this series is that, for veteran wildlife buffs like me, it lacks in- depth exploration of the subject matters but since it is suppose to cover our planet, it couldn't be helped. Regardless, it is a worthy viewing for anyone concern or curious about the world we live in. My personal favourites are the Caves and the Poles episodes.
... View MoreAs I wrote in my summary, this is a worth watch television documentary series at least for nature/wildlife/geography/documentary lovers. The documentary shows the planet earth in the most beautiful way. Whether it is a desert or a forest, winter or spring, ocean or peak of the mountain everything is stunningly pictured. The life of different animals and organisms shown so effectively that one can feel while watching. The time lapse videos, the aerial views, camera movements, etc. made it great. One man who enriched the documentary with his narration, David Attenborough, no one can replace him.Highly recommended to watch the series to experience the planet earth ever before, definitely the best made nature or wildlife documentary series of its time.
... View MorePlanet Earth is one of the best nature documentaries ever filmed for the combination of the mesmerizing images of life all around the world and David Attenboroughs calming narration that fits the subject matter perfectly. The film presents the world with creatures that we have never seen before and the odd rituals the partake in. By watching this film one can begin to appreciate the wonders our mysterious world has to offer. The slow motion shots of the terrifying Great White ambushing its prey by catapulting out of the water combined with the dramatic background music created an image of powerful elegance. My favorite episode of the series was Jungles. One of the most fascinating shots was the Bird of Paradise, in their mating rituals they flaunt their wings back while dancing back and forth, the low angle shots that were used made the bird look even more elegant. The scene characterizes the film as a whole; it is informative by presenting the behavior of animals we would have otherwise never been able to witness while also providing some humor through the narration. Unlike many nature documentaries, this does not have a spoken environmental message, but the amazing world that was shown speaks for itself. If we do not take care of our world, all of the beauty that was seen in this film will be lost forever.
