This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Teddie Blake
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

'Planet Earth' is one of the most awesome nature documentaries. They show stunning videos of Arctic, Mountains, Caves, Deserts, Plains, Jungles, Forests, Seas, Ocean deep etc etc. This superb documentary has the superb narrator David Attenborough !!

There aren't many earth/animal documentaries that keep the interest at that high level! This is a top production that can be considered as part of earth's inheritance for the next centuries to come. The quality of images and camerawork is amazing. Drones must have come in handy for that reason, too. As the earth progresses, depletion of the natural resources is a fact (bear in mind the imminent Blade Runner dystopia!) which threatens survival of most species, even humanity. For that reason, this documentary gets more added value since it shows the abundance of flora and fauna at the peak level of earth's evolution.We see in action some species that really rely on others to survive. The "big fish eats the small" gets a literal meaning here. If the latter distinct, the former follow suit, too! Also, it's impressive how long some animals can stay alive until they find water or their next food (a living creature for that matter, mostly). The evolution ideas hold strong here making the animals adapt to their environment nicely.The tricks some species like the cave worms devise to find food are extraordinary. It's difficult to believe they have the ability and the instincts to setup such traps for the insects to fall into and become their prey. This is the case with the sticky strings and the glowing light to attract the insects.The narration is well written and executed. It is the cohesive substance between the audience and the content of the documentary, actually an integral part of it. It keeps the audience in a state of curiosity and triggers the interest about what's next. There are also some minor issues. The script is not delving deeper into some explanations. I guess it's difficult to find the right balance between the scientific content and the understanding ability of the main target audience.08/10 is nice.

A 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.

Most people spend the whole day in their house, in their office building, and in their car. We rarely look outside to see how beautiful the world really is. Planet Earth explores all the amazing things in nature that we don't have time to see for ourselves. It takes you on a journey from deep in the ocean, to the top of mountains. You see things you couldn't have imagined to exist. There are fish that light up like glow sticks and worms that make a cave's ceiling look like the night sky. Unless you explore the world yourself and actually see this kind of stuff in person, you don't want to miss this amazing series. This isn't one of your average nature shows that you fall asleep to, this is real stuff happening on Earth right now and it will amaze you like nothing else has before.
