Predadores do Mundo Animal

"Predators" is a stunning documentary series by Netflix that takes viewers on a global journey with five apex predators: the cheetah, polar bear, wild dog, lion, and puma. Each episode focuses on a different animal, showcasing its unique hunting strategies and adaptations across diverse seasons and landscapes.

The documentary uses breathtaking cinematography to capture the power and grace of these predators. The narration is informative and engaging, providing insights into their behavior and the challenges they face in a changing world.

While some viewers might find the lack of focus on a specific theme throughout the series a drawback, "Predators" is still a visually stunning and informative watch for anyone interested in the animal kingdom.

This documentary doesn't show us anything we haven't seen before, but if you like wildlife it's still an amazing watch. There many beautiful shots and epic chases in slow motion.

Tom Hardy is doing the narration this time around and does an ok job, but he's a bit monotone. He just doesn't put enough emotion into his narration. The narrators in previous netflix wildlife documentary did a better job imo.

I also like that this documentary isn't too preachy about how humans should take better care of our environment. That should obvious by now and just showing what could be lost is enough if you ask me.

In conclusion, this documentary is well worth a watch if you like nature and wildlife, just don't expect to see anything revolutionary.

I don't watch nature docs a lot so this is spectacular to me. Tom Hardy is fine, don't know why everyone is criticizing him. I don't want to notice the narrator, just let the info accompany the visuals.

I've just watched the first ep, Cheetah. I love watching the big cats because my house cats are genetically so close to them. Watching cheetahs hunt, groom and loll around is like watching my cats do the same. I just pray humans don't do to cats what they've done to dogs, so much crazy breeding.

Anyway the killing they do doesn't bother me because they kill their prey with a bite to the neck before eating. The only thing that made me nauseous was seeing a croc eat an injured wildebeast face first.

If you enjoy nature while we still have it, watch this. Its hard to realize that these animals are vulnerable or endangered due to poaching and loss of habitat. Very sad.

This series shows some excellent filming of wild predators in their natural environments, with great use of all the latest technology to get close-up shots and to follow animals running at fast speeds. The editing and overall production are pretty good too. However, we don't learn much that we haven't already learnt from previous wildlife shows, and the approach is one which will appeal to the general public rather than the more scientifically-minded viewer. I would have given the series an 8, but the thing that really spoiled it for me was the choice of Tom Hardy to do the commentary. Not only is the content of his commentary fairly tedious and a bit anthropomorphic at times, but he sounds like some TV presenter from the 1950s or 1960s speaking in the RP of those times. Is that his natural voice? Is he trying to sound like David Attenborough? If so, he fails. He comes over really plummy and traditional upper class, and you would have thought that an actor of his experience could have adapted his voice to something more 21st century and cosmopolitan. It's really irritating, and I had to watch with the sound down after a few episodes. If they had to employ a posh English bloke to do the commentary, I think I would have preferred Benedict Cumberbatch.

Not 'just another wildlife documentary'. The filming is fantastic, with crews on-site over a full year for each episode, and there is new information in every one. But the writing varies wildy between colloquial and formal in tone and overall is more typical of some of the cheaper sentimental documentaries. It makes you realise that one of the things that made David Attenborough's documentaries so good was the avoidance of sentimental personifications and idle speculations about what the animals might be thinking or feeling. But the filming and educational value is so good it's best to overlook all of that in this case.
