Avoids polemic in favor of simply showing the many splendors we may yet lose forever.
Top CriticAn Imax feature that is dazzling yet superfluous.
A repetitive, globe-hopping Imax project that dresses up well-known ecological truisms with pretty nature photography.
A feast for the senses. It's also one from the heart.
A fine thing for families and school groups.
Sacred Planet is a kind of Koyaanisqatsi for kids.
...generally possesses the feel of a hopelessly dry education video...
neglects to let the star, the planet, do the talking
[The filmmakers] have two stated goals... to show the audience places they might never see... and to make a subtle statement about the way we treat our planet.
The imagery is stunning, the message urgent.
Images are very pleasing, but only a few actually take your breath away. Still, this should provide a good springboard for conversation into civilization & environmentalism.
The images are what carry this 40-minute exploration of the nooks and crannies (and cultural disparities) of our earth.
The images are enthralling, as per usual with the giant IMAX format, and cover Alaskan glaciers, the desert Southwest, the jungles of Borneo, Thailand, the African plains, and the shores of New Zealand.
