Customer Reviews

The narration of this particular documentary had the sophistication from your average piece of broadcast television - that is to say, probably far below the expectation of those who actually watch nature documentaries. Add to that the dated CG, and the collection of stock footage, and well, its just another piece of low quality material churned out.

Honestly, I gave this program a three star rating because I happen to like the earth. Listening to the narrator reminded me of 9th grade speech class and term papers: an excuse to link cliche upon cliche. I'm not easily impressed by big words or dramatic tone of voice either; maybe the constant reference to belching, burping and indigestion didn't coincided with my dinner, but I say, "let the earth speak for itself."
