Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

manuelnardin-76063 This is epic, nature don't obey human laws. This is marvelous. I've watched this so many times on boxxy software

EnoVarma PE2 is a first rate production, as professional and polished as they come. Logical, well structured and visually wonderful.It's also not as good as its predecessor, and the gap between the two series is quite clear. This is because of certain narrative decisions in the Part II. Most noticeably, the thunderously illustrative music gets in the way. This was a small concern with the brilliant first series, but here the music is, well, just bad, to put it bluntly. The sound design is also distractive: the foley work is easily noticeable, and the sound is irritatingly dramatic during the many slow-motion sequences.Another problem is the narration itself, which is written in a story-telling style, wherein the animals are anthropomorphized; binge watching the series, this strikes as infantilism. It doesn't help, that the "jokes" are often really poor.There are a surprising number of sequences revisited from the first series. These could have, mostly, been omitted. Like the wolves chasing the baby caribou.The camera work is quite a marvel - still, personally I prefer the more classical compositions of the first series. But to each his own.All in all, PE2 is still great, but the bar has been somewhat lowered. Compared to PE1, it's lighter and more pompous in tone - and more eager to entertain for entertainment's sake.

CinemaClown Planet Earth II may not be as groundbreaking as its 10-years old predecessor but it is just as epic in scale, abundant in content & splendour in detail, if not more, and is a roller-coaster ride that lives up to its promise of taking its viewers through a whirlwind of emotions. An extensively researched, meticulously carved & passionately filmed documentary series that further benefits from David Attenborough's tranquillising narration & Hans Zimmer's evocative soundtrack, Planet Earth II is another standard-setting work from BBC Natural History Unit, and is essential viewing in every sense of the word.

John Zackarias It's difficult to explain the magnitude of this series' brilliance.They ways in which the crew has been able to film all sorts of creatures in extreme detail left me speechless more than once. Insects freak me out a bit, but I can't deny the impressiveness of the feat that is to fully capture, down to the tiniest details, the workings of an ant colony or what have you. Not to mention the many hunter vs prey scenes, the mind-blowing footage of mountain ranges and vast grasslands, colorful birds performing strange mating rituals and the spectacularly beautiful presentations of the change of seasons. This is, without a shred of doubt, the greatest nature documentary (and stands among the greatest of the documentary genre in general) that has ever been produced, and surely will remain so until BBC produces the next chapter of the series. Planet Earth II is nothing short of a masterpiece.
