Seven Worlds One Planet

Yet another superb production of the most amazing filming and narration by the master legend David Attenborough. You will be taken on such beautiful journeys and see species up close that you would never in a lifetime experience or know exist! Simply Stunning and put together like a story sad at times amusing many breathtaking always.

It does seem unfair when attempting to compare a masterpiece, (as this most definitely is), against 'popular', well-executed fiction 'blockbusters'. (A look at IMBD's most highly-rated films shows public discerning proof of this). As indicated, four years in the making, editing many thousand of hours footage, would render a 90+ minute slice of popular entertainment rather inconsequential by comparison. It is more a reflection of our world and its precious diversity that is magnificently portrayed here. Yes,it is 'political' exhibiting how we, (as a supposedly superior race ), are systematically annihilating creatures that do not have our capacity to protect and preserve this beautiful planet that we are so privileged to inhabit. But we do have an obligation to tell future generations why their ancestors did what they did to reduce diversity. Place yourself 100 years from now - would 'The Shawshank Redemption' resonate over how our present generation disregarded, exploited and left the planet they were left with ? The choice is yours. I'm not an activist in any form - have never been on marches, signed petitions, called for changes, to my shame. I'm like the majority of the people who read this - benignly concerned, yet apathetic. I'm an old failure. And I'm truly, truly sorry for my lack of action. SHAME ON ME.

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

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.

Great cinematography and a few interesting facts though we've seen much of it before in the many shows of this variety that have aired before. Not much on the 'ways' and 'hows' of the planet and it's continents, but more of a quick overview of pinpointed areas that then focuses on a few animals in these areas and how they live and survive, especially in the dire situation of deforestation and climate change. (A dark and worrisome theme throughout many episodes). More of a new version of the vintage "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom," than a in-depth series like BBC's 'Planet Earth' or 'Blue Planet.' Though like those, it is narrated by the great David Attenborough. It is listed on TV as season one, so maybe it will benefit from additional seasons that when combined will give us a more thorough overview of our world's continents. I was hoping more for a thorough look into everything about each continent, from their land, the forests, deserts, rivers and climate, to their societies and people. Instead we just get some selected tales of how a selected animal hunts and struggles in about an hour's run time. Still an important series to understand what man is doing wrong to this planet.
