This is why I pay a TV licence. Beautifully filmed and wonderfully edited.

Leisurely paced BBC nature documentary, narrated by Robert Redford, which travels across the globe, in one day, to discover some wondrous goings on in the animal kingdom. I've seen many nature films but this one had numerous scenes that I had never witnessed before, like a sloth crossing a river trying to answer the call of a potential mate.Often shot in close-ups, slo-mo, or time lapse photography the movie offers some truly amazing insight into wildlife and our natural habitat. There is one sequence involving snakes lying in wait to attack young iguanas as they emerge from their nesting place that may be too much for young children, but otherwise I would think the entire family could enjoy and learn from this documentary.Overall, I found this film to be exceptional.

So, I completely disagree with other comments. I found this documentary amazingly beautiful!! I didn't know what to expect after the first movie Earth which was amazing but Iwas stunned by the images they filmed..the high quality footage of Earth is just wonderful. I never had the chance to watch the serie Planet Earth so I can't compare it. One amazing day on earth tells differents stories at different time of the day with different kind of animals or plants. The music is going great with the film and I can't even imagine how many hours they've had to wait to get that kind of beautiful images. There is also a strong message trough the movie, we have to protect our planet, the future is in our hands. It is so sad too see what we've done with this planet. Watch it if you can ;)

Why not just watch 'Planet Earth'?This is basically a mash-up of the series.Plus it's ruined by having an American narrating... nature programmes NEED Sir Dave.I turned off after 30 minutes. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
