Watch Earth's Greatest Spectacles For Free

Pretty Good

good back-story, and good acting

Dreadfully Boring

Beautiful, moving film.

Like many people I am a huge fan of BBC Natural History. Overall this is a good documentary, but it is virtually identical to (the in my opinion superior) 'Nature's Great Events', another BBC production that was aired in 2009/2010 and narrated by David Attenborough. I am not sure that this newer series really adds much for anyone who has seen that series, and I would even go as far as to say that I suspect some of the footage may have been reused from this earlier series. Having said that, I watched it all and did enjoy it. The narration was good, but, and I feel slightly silly saying this, there is only one Attenborough, and his absence in BBC nature documentaries is conspicuous!

I have watched many documentaries and and found this one to be superb. The photography and this production is very vivid and also very unique. I suggest you take the time to view this series. I am sure you will find it as delightful as I have. This documentary does not cover the run-of-the-mill features. The scenery and the animals are for the most part very unique. It always amazes me how the photographers can get the exact pose from the creatures featured in this production. It's almost as if they are scripted into the movie waiting for their queue to perform. It's great documentaries like this that allows one who loves nature to see what a marvelous world this is that we live in. I appreciate the fine job of narration done by the speaker. Many documentaries have narrators who possess such an accent that their dialogue is difficult to understand. This becomes a distraction while trying to watch the movie. But in the case of this narrator's accent it is mild yet very clear to understand his words. I wish to thank the producers and photographers of this documentary for putting together such a wonderful educational movie as they have.Yours anytime, Charley
