Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
bellino-angelo2014 I saw this movie for the first time in April 2009, when it came out in theaters in Italy, and I loved it . After some month I bought it in DVD and I re-saw it multiple times until now.The first time I saw it I was literally blown away because I never saw such wonderful images about our planet Earth (I was 18 years old at the time), and I am a great animal lover (of all types of animals). And the music is just wonderful, in every single scene, from the North Pole scenes to the ending sequence, and the narration of James Earl Jones is just awesome.Here the central roles are of three animal families; Polar bears, Humpback whales and African elephants. It follows in particular a mother polar bear that stays always close to their cubs while battling the harsh elements of the Arctic, a Humpback whale migrating with her baby in the search of warmer waters, and an African elephant with her baby that search, with her elephant group, the Okavango delta, full of fresh water and grass.And there are some spectacular scenes of various environments, and clips of various animals in their daily routines, like New-Zealand's birds of Paradise attracting females, or great white sharks attacking (in slow-motion) sea lions, and even dolphins and sail-fin fish attacking tiny fish.My favorite scene was the one with the male polar bear (the cub's dad) fighting with a walrus, eventually being wounded and scratched by the other walruses's tusks, and I also loved the baby mandarin duck sequence.This movie is also a summary of BBC's ''Planet Earth'', of the previous year, and that was narrated by David Attenborough. I also saw the featurette about the making of Earth, with the cameramen narrating the behind-the-scenes fatigue of getting perfect shots of our planet, and they made it.It's perfect for everybody to see and I never get tired of re-watching it almost once a year because, for me, it's one of the greatest documentary movies I ever seen in my life!
Cristian Danilo I only was a child when i saw this movie but i think is one of the best documentary films ever made. Is no only the incredible way how is narrated the three stories of family animals, is how we can feel really close to feel what animals could feel and that is something very different of every documentary films. On this film you will be expecting the full one and a half our about what would be next. Of course it supposed to be a movie where you learn abut nature, but this experience is something incredible.far of 2007 i think that nowadays is a good way of remember what we lost across the years.
saad hayat The portrayal of nature was amazing, because its clips are taken from the wonderful 'Planet Earth'. It seemed not only the feature film version, but also a more global warming and conservation adjusted version. However, the storytelling seemed a bit loose and the transitions from story to story were a bit clumsy. The narration was a bit let down at first but as I kept watching it became difficult to take. It was so dull. I watched the US version/narration. At some places, it was difficult to understand the wording of the narrator, where I had to rewind and listen to it again to get a better hearing. I'm not complaining about David Attenborough not narrating, it's just that this narrator does a brilliant job at turning this visual masterpiece into a drab and unclear audio experience. Since, in this documentary the narration was absolutely essential to get the information through, this vague narration scored really poorly, in my opinion.
Peter Grunbaum I just saw this tonight at the cinema in my hometown. I thought it was a 2009 release but now I realize it is from 2007. Anyway, it's a very nature film but no different from what one might see on television in an average show from National Geographic or Animal Planet. Nevertheless it is awesome to see it on the big screen, and I guess this movie is out because there is a climate conference in Copenhagen this year. Some attempts at a narrative is attempted in the story with the passing of the year but nevertheless there is no real plot. The narrator sounds like David Attenbourough but it is someone else by the name of Patrick Stewart. Anyway, this film has some splendid images and the background music is very good. Honestly, it is hard to understand that someone would rate this lower than a 10. I must say it is very refreshing to see a wonderful and beautiful movie like this one with all the superfluous garbage which is out nowadays. I cannot recommend this title highly enough. It is an extremely beautiful and wonderful experience to watch something like this in the cinema.
