Earth

Documentary / Nature
5 stars
Absolutely stunning. Gorgeous photography, jaw dropping landscapes, breathtaking beauty. This film covers everything: both poles, the oceans and everything in between. It moves along at a pace that is never dull and is narrated by the smooth baritone of James Earl Jones. Almost every scene is worthy of being displayed in an art museum and even the music is wonderful and soothing. The movie loosely follows the journeys of three families in different parts of the world: polar bears, elephants and humpback whales. Many other species are featured as well. Stay through the closing credits to see the camera crews and their own close encounters. Just go see it and bring the kids too; it must be seen on the big screen.
