A visually gorgeous, at times astonishing screen experience.
Top CriticNature films don't come any more spectacular than the BBC's "One Life."
A typical British nature documentary, which is to say, a very good film, and one that mostly balances the "awwws" with the awesome.
A typically eye-catching, years-in-the-making chronicle of animal life that is tainted by the urge to anthropomorphize.
Another gorgeously shot document of nature's majesty, this one focusing on the life cycle-and interconnectedness-of all living creatures.
What's before our eyes suggests we share the planet with some amazingly strange beings.
As much as Daniel Craig's narration can feel tacked-on, it's really secondary to the film's expert camerawork.
The camera work on this nature documentary is so staggering that it really is worth seeing on a very big screen.
Beautifully shot and featuring some genuinely astonishing footage, this is a thoroughly entertaining documentary that delivers a powerful message.
Shot with dazzling technical prowess.
A technically brilliant wildlife documentary from BBC Earth Film, let down by its gushy, absurdly pro-family script.
One Life is a film truly deserving that much-abused adjective of unmissable.
A fascinating salute to all creatures great and small.
Quite a spectacle, and a nice family outing.
Four years in the making, this is simply a staggering achievement, with a standard of photography that continues Britain's excellence in the field of wildlife film-making.
This BBC Earth animal-behaviour doco catches the sheer jaw-dropping mentalness of the creature kingdom round the globe.
Audience Reviews for One Life
Super Reviewer
Documentary covers the struggle of different species on the planet earth who look for foods and survival (out of more than 5 million species) some parenting, diverging from predators, intelligence used by these species to get the best out of their raw foods, like some monkeys cracking seeds with heavy boulder, and them escaping freezing temperature by staying in a steamy pond, the way of attracting mighty male by female whales and swans, the romance and so on, ants cutting down stalks of grass much larger to ward-off poisonous air released by fungus,
One Life is pure lesson to understand the beautiful and yet bizarre side of animal ecosystem, which slightly different from human-ecology. Film gives excellent note of different species in short BUT explanatory episodes with dazzling voice and crispy narration from Daniel Craig. For many of the audience this is great wonderment to watch and accumulate knowledge about the dwellings of species of our beloved planet, in a simple logical way.
I recommend this to everyone, and irrespective of your taste in documentaries, this documentary needs to be seen for it lays its weight heavier on nature (that we're part of).
