This is why I pay a TV licence. Beautifully filmed and wonderfully edited.

Leisurely paced BBC nature documentary, narrated by Robert Redford, which travels across the globe, in one day, to discover some wondrous goings on in the animal kingdom. I've seen many nature films but this one had numerous scenes that I had never witnessed before, like a sloth crossing a river trying to answer the call of a potential mate.Often shot in close-ups, slo-mo, or time lapse photography the movie offers some truly amazing insight into wildlife and our natural habitat. There is one sequence involving snakes lying in wait to attack young iguanas as they emerge from their nesting place that may be too much for young children, but otherwise I would think the entire family could enjoy and learn from this documentary.Overall, I found this film to be exceptional.

Why not just watch 'Planet Earth'?This is basically a mash-up of the series.Plus it's ruined by having an American narrating... nature programmes NEED Sir Dave.I turned off after 30 minutes.

The same old formula for this type of film is trotted out with a "why bother?" result. Various life forms on planet Earth are shown in various stages of peril/battle/life threatening situations. Between these dark, lovingly photographed segments are scenes of "cute" animals performing silly antics with jolly music. Really? We all know animals must hunt to live, may freeze/starve to death, etc but why dwell on it? With the budget and resources these filmmakers had, why not throw caution to the wind and make a celebratory, joyous TRULY amazing film? Robert Redford delivers uninspiring narration with some real cringe-worthy lines at times. Avoid! Rated a 2 for the scenery/photography.
