Earth: One Amazing Day

Astonishingly breathtaking! Gorgeous sceneries and scenes can't resist the eye to sparkle and the mind to be blown away by all the beautiful stuff, yet unknown, by most of us, that happens in a single day. It may seem like creatures of all sizes rule the world, chasing prey for survival, but in reality, the ugly truth is that we humans are the ones that make no room for "others" to coexist with us. It's sad and funny at the same time. We blindly run at full speed like animals, we take no mercy like them, we act without properly thinking like them, leaving only consequences behind. Sooner or later, we will also be chased. By who? God knows.

Robert Redford says early on to listen to the sounds of the animals to the rising sun, but who can hear with the loud music. Only lasted 10 minutes in and had to turn it off because it was so frustrating. This seems to be a common issue that many have complained about but no one is doing anything about it. The few scenes that I did see in the movie were beautiful, but the music ruined it. Redford did speak clearly, however the music sometimes drowned him out. I think it would be a nice option, like subtitles, to be able to turn off background music. I believe voice and music are on different tracks, so it should be possible. More viewers need to complain about it.

Relentless background music, nursery style dialogue. Why not just have the glorious sights and sounds of nature? Have just given up after half an hour. Could have been spectacular.

Why not just watch 'Planet Earth'?

This is basically a mash-up of the series.

Plus it's ruined by having an American narrating... nature programmes NEED Sir Dave.

I turned off after 30 minutes.

Made by the BBC Earth using footage from the nature series Planet Earth II, this film focuses on a single day across the continents as we drop in on the natural world.

Narrated by Robert Redford we get to see that famous sequence of writhing snakes chasing newborn iguanas on the beaches of the Galapagos Islands, the baby iguanas get away just in time. There are a family of sperm whales giving birth and feeding milk to its young, the milk has to have the consistency of cottage cheese.

We have penguins taking a dangerous trek in order to feed its family and hoping to find the right nest. Two giraffes fight for love but the older one has enough knowledge to know when to duck and return with a knockout blow. Zebras cross crocodile infested rivers and a bear trying to scratch that itch.

The photography is wonderful but it is a case of we have seen it all before if you have watched the television shows.
