One Strange Rock: Pianeta terra

This show is wonderful. Story is amazing and cinematography is incredible but man... the Will Smith narrative scenes are cringe worthy. We have these awesome scientists and astronaut interviews then we get clips of Will Smith narrating to us like we're children. I hate to be harsh but his scenes are so distracting. Without him speaking this is the best Earth documentary since the original Planet Earth.

As an Earth Science teacher in an urban school district I was very happy with my students engagement in the first episode of this series. Although just one episode I would rank this with the best episodes of cosmos, planet earth, and blue planet for student interest and behavior. I personally enjoyed it as well. Some of the photography is stunning and unlike what you will see in "Blue Oceans" and "Planet Earth" (not necessarily better but refreshingly different). Will Smith by no means makes the show but I don't think he takes anything away from it either, and he can be amusing at times. The Astronauts are going to be the real stars of the show, and they have come across great so far.

Vivid and thought provoking. Photography and visuals are stunning. Fascinating perspectives from astronauts. Planet Earth on steroids!

I don't do reviews much apart from ratings but this one got me down to write one just to say that it doesn't deserve a miss. Never seen a documentary this visually stunning and thrilling before. Just witness it.

Gives you a deep appreciation for earth and all of its complexities. Videography is simply stunning. An absolute MUST watch!
