Planète Hostile

One of the most fascinating and incredibly shot documentaries I have seen in recent memories. Its impossibly hard to fathom how they shot it. If you have as fervent a taste or even a few degrees less for wildlife docs... this should truly enchant you. Must watch !

The facts are the global climate IS changing but never once did he say it was 'the end of the world' or that 'it's mankinds fault', I'm not sure what some of these naysayer reviewers were watching but they were hearing what they wanted to hear, not what he said. He did blame man for overfishing during the ocean episode and it wasn't a lie or liberal propaganda, just an observable fact. There is no way crews of cameramen, scientists and naturalists can spend this amount of time in the field gathering data and shooting footage without seeing the state of the environment. You want them to NOT report what they see and the data they record? I recommend watching this show for anybody willing to pull their head out of the sand and just learn a few things.

This Series is a true masterpiece of photography and documentary film making. The visuals are stunningly beautiful and the soundtrack brilliantly compliments the spectacular visuals. This is a truly wonderful show. Its prominent references to climate facts are also exceedingly brave for a documentary aimed at a primarily American audience - The high levels of scientific illiteracy and science denial in the U.S. will no doubt result in a 'hostile' reception among some.

I watched all latest David Attenborough documentaries and this one is just as good. Footage is amazing, this is an undertaking of gigantic proportions. As for the "political" part, all I can say to those climate change deniers is to paraphrase JFK during The Cuban Missile Crisis: If we ... do what they want us to do (which in this case is nothing), none of us will be alive later to tell them that they were wrong.

Truly captivating work! And who doesn't like bear grylls, I ask you, who? Not I
