This is epic, nature don't obey human laws. This is marvelous. I've watched this so many times on boxxy software
... View MorePE2 is a first rate production, as professional and polished as they come. Logical, well structured and visually wonderful.It's also not as good as its predecessor, and the gap between the two series is quite clear. This is because of certain narrative decisions in the Part II. Most noticeably, the thunderously illustrative music gets in the way. This was a small concern with the brilliant first series, but here the music is, well, just bad, to put it bluntly. The sound design is also distractive: the foley work is easily noticeable, and the sound is irritatingly dramatic during the many slow-motion sequences.Another problem is the narration itself, which is written in a story-telling style, wherein the animals are anthropomorphized; binge watching the series, this strikes as infantilism. It doesn't help, that the "jokes" are often really poor.There are a surprising number of sequences revisited from the first series. These could have, mostly, been omitted. Like the wolves chasing the baby caribou.The camera work is quite a marvel - still, personally I prefer the more classical compositions of the first series. But to each his own.All in all, PE2 is still great, but the bar has been somewhat lowered. Compared to PE1, it's lighter and more pompous in tone - and more eager to entertain for entertainment's sake.
... View MorePlanet Earth II gives you amazing stunning views of nature and the world that we live. David is just a brilliant narrator and only the BBC can provide us with something amazing like Planet Earth II. If you can binge-watch it all over again, I would recommend doing so.
... View MoreI can't think of a show I miss more then Planet Earth II, it remains one of the most visually impressive shows I've ever seen. Each moment is awe inspiring and jaw dropping. For anyone considering the Blu ray I would recommend absolutely, loaded with moments you'll wish to watch and re-watch. Incredible filming, breathtaking views, an incredible insight into this planet we live in, the dangers it faces, as well as some of the positive things going on. Best thing of course is the narration by legendary Sir David Attenborough, who is as incredible as ever.Quite simply put this is one of the best things I've ever watched, has been a privilege to revisit. 10/10
