Earth

An absolutely stunning documentary film, a theatrical companion piece to the BBC series Planet Earth (albeit narrated here by Patrick Stewart in place of David Attenborough), in some parts shocking, in others heart-rendering, but always very fascinating and beautiful. With so much of the globe to cover and such a wide range of amazing creatures to showcase within the 90 minute running time, the only disappointment is that it never has the chance to go into very much depth with the vast majority of species it covers - obviously, it scratches merely the surface, but it's quite a surface nonetheless. My favourite in the featured line-up was a male bird of paradise (sadly, I wasn't able to memorise the exact kind) with a deep invested passion in keeping his display area clean at all times, although like everyone else in the audience I had to "awww" over those delightful baby Mandarin ducks whose first step involved hurling themselves from their nest in the tree-tops and bouncing off the springy foilage upon the forest floor below.
