    As others have mentioned in their reviews, I too was hoping there would be a little more explanation as to what was happening on screen. However the footage is amazing. It's also important to note that there was a BBC documentarty series done by the same filmmakers, and that actually used a lot of the same footage. The difference being that there is more narration in the documentary. If you like this than check out the doc series for much more -> Blue Planet: Seas of Life.

    This movie contains footage I have never seen in my life! I was blown away by the cinematography and loved that it wasn't overnarrated. It does however contain some graphic footage so you may want to screen and judge for yourself before showing children. If you love nature films, this one is a must-see!

    This movie was shot all over the globe, and took about 1,200 days to get all the camera work done. It make you realize how all these creatures are connected, and the cinematography is the BEST! Cool extras on how they filmed it.
