Watch Earth For Free

Touches You

Admirable film.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Earth is a feature-length cut-down of some of the most jaw-dropping nature footage ever shot... the Planet Earth series. I'm a huge fan of the series, and watch it often with my family, and because of that I wasn't as impressed with the movie version.I understand Global Warming problems, but the voice-over comes across as preachy and tries to hard to tug at the heartstrings. I'd prefer a more factual approach... not even the mellifluous voice of Patrick Stewart can overcome the script issues.Planet Earth gets 10 of 10 stars in my book, and Disney makes an admirable attempt to piece together a feature film in an hour and a half. But there is so much ground to cover (har har) with these stories, and so many incredible locations that it feels overly stuffed and unfocused. You can tell they were cramming it all in, instead of the lush exploration of the original episodes.I think once you see something in one format, to see the same elements mashed up together in a different way can often be less satisfying. But for first-time viewers, I wouldn't miss this documentary film... if for nothing other than the footage. You will undoubtedly see things you've never seen before.

Just finished watching it. Amazingly beautiful scenery, beautiful stories, it really opens the eyes of someone regarding global warming. Our world is beautiful, each and every creature living on it makes it more beautiful. We should preserve as good as we can our environment. I could watch this documentary over and over again without getting bored, just not to forget how much animals are struggling these days to survive.Disney has once again fascinated me as it always did with its unique way of describing things, of making me understand.Show this documentary to everyone. Maybe we can change something. Make this world a better place.

This movie is fun to watch, though one starts to feel kind of voyeuristic soon, watching so many "intimate" moments between animals. I put 'intimate' in quotations, because the script given to James Earl Jones is full of human projections upon the animals with more or less success; at times the captions are far-fetched and detract from the movie; other times, they are hilarious (like with monkeys avoiding getting their hands wet). Hands down, the funniest animal is the bird doing the jumpy wide-wings mating ritual; we couldn't stop laughing.This movie is incredibly sad and in a very un-Disney-like way, leaves a lot of loose ends. I suppose this is the Realism of Nature, yet, the storyboard in the captions makes it nearly traumatic as a viewer (like the baby elephant going the wrong way and the daddy polar bear who dies because of global warming making the ice thin...the same point and animal in CGI in Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth). I guess I am very appreciative of the camera-work capturing such beauty, but for strictly an artistic experience, the captions should be dropped and viewers should make their own interpretations (which happens anyway!)

Did not Planet Earth as I do not have cable but I have to say it was stunning. I never saw any blood and some of the scenes were just breathtaking. Now as for the polar bear part,I understannd that animals die every day and I will admit seeing the father bear dying was sad but cut out the stuff about climate change dooming us all. I mean really,we have been here what not even 200,00 years and earth is 4.6 BILIION years old. Earth has been wamring in the past and has been hit many times by rocks the size of Teaxs and yet we are here and so is Earth. i would be more worried about a asteroid wiping most of Earth out then a less then 1 degree rise in temps over less then 100 years. Point is the Earth is not going anywhere,we might but things will go on like we were like the dinosaurs,here but unnoticed.
