Seven Worlds One Planet

Its exactly what you would expect from Sir David Attenborough. beautifully shot and it does well to draw you in and hook you leaving emotional at times. now is it at the level of planet earth 2? for me so far it isn't but its very close. you wont be disappointed.

Noticed footage of walrus falling from the cliff in the first episode is the same as footage of walrus falling from our planet episode 2

Every wildlife series the BBC seem take it to another level and this is no different... truly sublime...

Just seen the 2nd Episode and that includes Indonesia where I have lived since 1986. I've been to Sumatra and more recently Tanjung Puting and the Leakey research centre and feeding stations. Truly an experience you must see. Only 2 hours by plane and boat from Jakarta

I have been waiting for this series to come out for a long time. And, the wait is over.

The first episode is magnificently breathtaking, the shots are eyegasmic, scenes are marvelous and the theme which runs through the episode is eye-opening.

Such a beautiful planet with all Her creatures closely and mysteriously entwined, making the viewers wonder and ponder over the beauty and majesty of all these correlations and existence.

Of course, there are harrowing scenes which are part of this mystery and beauty. This Our Planet with all her beauties and harrowing scenes. However, those scenes are nothing compared to what human beings are doing to each other and the Planet we are living on.

Unfortunately, we humans are wreaking havoc on all this majesty and glory, blithely producing waste, consuming too much and dumping all the contamination on this magnificent Planet.

The gem, Sir, David Attenborough, added more beauty to this episode and brought more enjoyment to watching it. May this shining gem live for another 50 years to bring more delights and pleasures to our eyes for the generations to come.

Always a fan of Sir David's works and this is no different. The BBC has a monolith like arm for cinematic splendour, and as a photographer myself, seeing the behind the scenes at the end is always inspiring.

I also found out that the cine lenses they use are Canon 70-1000mm, yes 1000mm! Those things cost around £70,000 each. This kind of gives you an idea on the type of distances they are from the wildlife to get many of the shots that would otherwise be impossible.

The musical score, the action, the insight and the narration, a better combination that Hollywood movies costing hundreds of millions of dollars.... And you end up having a new found respect and understanding for nature as a whole.
