Although they use a lot of footage from the BBC series, it still had new narration and a certain storyline based on the theme of life and death or more specifically predator and prey. Since it is Disney, they took out all the eating and whatnot. The ochestra was heavenly. The cinematography was breath taking. They have things where you seen the seasons changing. There is this tree that they starting panning slowly that has the leaves changing on the tree. It was beautiful. To tell you the truth, I knew a lot of these things they already showed, but it doesn't stop me from watching these things over and over. I bet this was an awesome job collecting all this amazing footage. I love usiqng my knowledge of geology whenever I can. Earl Jones narrates the perfection of the tilt of the planet that creates the seasons and whatnot, but they never really brushed up on the perfection of the earth's homeostasis that makes life and eveything we know it today possible. It's beyond the tilt of the planet. It's our distance from the sun. The size of the sun, the size of our plannet. The fact that Jupiter being such a huge gas planet shields a lot of the meteors and comets that would hit Earth if were weren't being shielded at all. It's way more than just a tilt. The whole system is just so complex. Earth is this perfect mathematical equation of thousands of elements that make this earth what it is. No hour and a half movie could ever capture the essence of earth. I watched this on Blue Ray which is as close to seeing it in real life can be. I would rather much rather see it all in person than to have technology that makes me feel like I'm really there. Odd, this reminds me of a short story about a room and the African Sahara. I really enjoyed watching this documentary.
