    Beautiful documentary...

    "Terra" is a Documentary in which we watch a powerful exploration of the planet's ecosystems and the delicate balance that sustains life depending on the relationship between humans and other species.

    I liked this documentary very much because it was interesting and presented very well the disturbing truth behind the fragile environment and how easily can be influenced by humans. The breathtaking cinematography and stunning aerial shots took us on a journey across diverse landscapes, showcasing both the beauty and the fragility of nature. It focused on the intricate relationships between animals, plants, and the environment, highlighting the impact of human activity on the Earth. The message about environmental conservation was clear, but the documentary could have done more to engage viewers on even more personal level. To sum up, I have to say that "Terra" is an important, interesting documentary that's worth watching not only nature lovers and those concerned about the planet's future but everyone because everyone can learn something from it.

    Beauty that hits you in the face like a baseball bat

    Terra shows us -with beautiful images- what the world looks like outside of our little bubbles. Over the history of time, humanity has created a world that is completely different from the one we found. Where trees, plants, moss and animals first covered the surface of our planet, now human cities, farms and industries thrive.

    Terra holds a mirror in our faces to open our eyes to the consequences of our society. It makes us realize, hopefully, that what we have made into a world that we see as 'normal' is actually a world filled with destruction.

    Shockingly confrontational, terra clearly hoped to motivate the viewers into changing their lifestyle for the better, or at least changing our perspective to the world.

    Rerecord with a different narrator PLEASE

    The visuals were amazing and the facts interesting however, the narrator was HORRIBLE. Between the weird pauses and her mispronouncing every third word I had to turn the movie off. Please rerecord it with a native English speaker or at least with someone who can speak English properly.

    Existential need to see "Terra"

    "L'homme est la nature prenant conscience d'elle-même." said great French geographer Élisée Reclus in 19th century. Keeping these wise words in mind anyone who is able has to witness this alluring tribute.

    Breathtaking, heartwrenching, beautiful

    An ode to the beauty of life, and our mysteriously unique role as homo sapiens in the web of life. it touched me deeply. both the beauty and the gruesomeness of reality (even though I've seen quite a bit on both ends), the scale of our transformation of this planet
