Attenborough's deep-focus cinematography adds necessary wonder to these overcast days, and shows how the pursuit of a restored and thriving natural world may yet become humanity's greatest collective struggle of all. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 01/10/2022

Brandon K @TheKeizer Dec 15 An amazing perspective of planet and insect life. See more Erica D @RT52559907 07/20/2024 I will never look at plants the same again. Extraordinary. Pure consciousness; alive. Loved it! Attenborough is a true treasure. See more Tim R @twiddly 07/31/2022 This is fantastic! The slow motion timelapse videography is remarkable. The only poor reviews here must be from ignorant climate change deniers. See more 07/01/2022 Beautifully crafted to sell... but full of errors and a tremendous lack of context. Some of the errors are based in popular beliefs and not in actual statistics. For instance Attenborough said 80% of cultivated land is used to grow feed for livestock... as though the primary use of crops is not human uses, and livestock only get waste or byproducts from those crops. Citrus crops are not grown to feed livestock but after we squeeze oranges the excess pulp is fed to livestock. Most other agricultural land is similarly used. Context is everything in order to be accurate. See more Read all reviews
