Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
EnoVarma PE2 is a first rate production, as professional and polished as they come. Logical, well structured and visually wonderful.It's also not as good as its predecessor, and the gap between the two series is quite clear. This is because of certain narrative decisions in the Part II. Most noticeably, the thunderously illustrative music gets in the way. This was a small concern with the brilliant first series, but here the music is, well, just bad, to put it bluntly. The sound design is also distractive: the foley work is easily noticeable, and the sound is irritatingly dramatic during the many slow-motion sequences.Another problem is the narration itself, which is written in a story-telling style, wherein the animals are anthropomorphized; binge watching the series, this strikes as infantilism. It doesn't help, that the "jokes" are often really poor.There are a surprising number of sequences revisited from the first series. These could have, mostly, been omitted. Like the wolves chasing the baby caribou.The camera work is quite a marvel - still, personally I prefer the more classical compositions of the first series. But to each his own.All in all, PE2 is still great, but the bar has been somewhat lowered. Compared to PE1, it's lighter and more pompous in tone - and more eager to entertain for entertainment's sake.
bettycjung 1/3/18. Like anything that Attenborough's done, this one is fantastic all around! The cinematography is fantastic! So many close-up videos of many animals in moments of suspense, during a chase, and moments of survival and mating. The best were the recordings male birds of many species doing their mating dances in colorful regalia. Each episode covers a different environment and the animals that inhabit those environs. Most amazing was the wildlife in the cities. Yep, it just not rats and cockroaches that roam the city streets.
thenerdofsuperstuff If you love nature,you'll enjoy this one but if you think nature and wildlife is boring. I recommend you stay away from this as you won't like it. I'm kind of in the middle. If you don't like animals being killed. Don't watch it. I'm not the biggest fan of David Attenborough. But if you do geography in school. You'll probably watch this at least once. 8.2/10
John Zackarias It's difficult to explain the magnitude of this series' brilliance.They ways in which the crew has been able to film all sorts of creatures in extreme detail left me speechless more than once. Insects freak me out a bit, but I can't deny the impressiveness of the feat that is to fully capture, down to the tiniest details, the workings of an ant colony or what have you. Not to mention the many hunter vs prey scenes, the mind-blowing footage of mountain ranges and vast grasslands, colorful birds performing strange mating rituals and the spectacularly beautiful presentations of the change of seasons. This is, without a shred of doubt, the greatest nature documentary (and stands among the greatest of the documentary genre in general) that has ever been produced, and surely will remain so until BBC produces the next chapter of the series. Planet Earth II is nothing short of a masterpiece.
