America the Beautiful

Excellent visuals, and being the Disney channel I can understand the level of narration, maybe targeting younger children... oh, sometimes the predator does get the prey.... all in all, not bad...

The cinematography is stunning and perfectly edited. Really quite beautiful. However, it is ruined by the narration. Why in the world have Michael B. Jordan narrate it?? You might as well have had my neighbor, Frank do it. They have equally lackluster voices. Morgan Freeman too expensive??

Maybe the most creative, beautiful and dynamic aerial shots I've ever seen, not just in a nature documentary but in every media ever. The animal roster is fine, though a bit too much of the most famous species like grizzlies. Man, they are getting really boring now. Seeing a bear catch salmon was fun in the first 50 documentaries they are in, but after that, it gets repetitive whether the cinamtography is creative or not. It's a shame that the creators of nature shows like this don't think that fish, amphibians, reptiles or insects are just as (or more) interesting as a bear or a lion or an elephant. This series lacks these groups, focusing too much on mammals and birds (mostly mammals).

But it's okay, I can't judge a show by the animals it features, so the only negative point is because of the narration. It is just cringe. Especially the totally random "heroes". "This squirrel is hero because it exists. This bear is a hero because it has eaten a fish." - and this is not an exaggeration. The narration is so very far from the beautifully written Attenborough stuff. When I was a kid, I was inspired by his work in every possible way, so I just can't imagine that a goofy narration like the one in this series is needed to get the attention of children.

Cinematography is fantastic, but narration isn't my favourite. It's a little childish, of course they've likely done that on purpose, but I really don't like all the animals being constantly referred to as 'heroes', feels corny. But all in all an enjoyable nature series.

Micheal B Jordan's voice over is so dry and mono tone and sometimes incomprehensible it ruins an otherwise stunning documentary. Why put so much effort to capture these amazing visuals and ruin it with a terrible voice over ? The person who thought his voice suited this documentary should be fired for ruining this otherwise amazing documentary.
