Critic Reviews for Planet Earth: One Amazing Day

All Critics (21) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (21)

If there is a human sour enough not to enjoy the sloth swimming leisurely to meet his mate, then he or she deserves to be pickled alive.

Donald Clarke
Irish Times
This gorgeous nature documentary megamix, with sequences liberally culled from last year's BBC Planet Earth II series, rightfully earns its place on the big screen.

Kevin Maher
Times (UK)
This perfectly serviceable and somewhat conventional documentary tracks the daily struggle to survive for an assortment of wild animals.

Leslie Felperin
Guardian
It's breathtaking to watch, although its meditative possibilities are limited thanks to Redford's narration and an overbearing orchestral accompaniment.

Earth: One Amazing Day proves inspirational in its depiction of the wonders of the natural world.

Hollywood Reporter
"Earth: One Amazing Day" is kid-friendly, but adults will be equally awed by the animal wonders and how the filmmakers captured them in such exquisite detail.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea but it is worth a watch.

S. Indra Sathiabalan
The Sun Daily (Malaysia)
Projected onto a big screen in all of its digital glory, this footage is spectacular. And yet the movie as a whole feels like a missed opportunity to explore how humans also fit in with this cycle of day and night.

Shadows on the Wall
As expected from the [BBC's] wildlife team the photography is top-notch with clever use of framing and film speeds capturing some amazing imagery...

That need to draw a movie-style narrative from animal behaviour gets annoying. The beautiful footage is good enough.

John Lui
The Straits Times (Singapore)
Our guide is Robert Redford, whose warm and avuncular narration keeps things light, and is reminiscent of 1960s-era Disney broadcasts.

You may well prefer the David Attenborough approach, but the footage is still wonderful.

Audience Reviews for Planet Earth: One Amazing Day

Sep 27, 2018

Amazing film and one of the better documentaries coming out with a sense of fun and wonder. Robert Redford might not have been the correct choice for the narrator but even he can't shadow this wonderful film. The film is family friendly and for those looking for depth, like the Attenborough documentaries will be letdown. The film is beautiful to look at and is a visual splendour from beginning to end. 27/09/2018.
