Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Robert Redford narrates this BBC Earth documentary. It follows the natural world from daybreak to night for one full day. It's the same people who produced Earth and the picture is as beautiful as expected. There are lots of epic life and death struggles. It's also got the simple natural beauty. They did promote this movie by giving away the juiciest snippet. I remember the iguana chase clip in a few ESPN shows. Mostly, this is a familiar lazy Sunday afternoon watch. It's beautiful. It's easy. It's soothing. It's family friendly.

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.

Astonishingly breathtaking! Gorgeous sceneries and scenes can't resist the eye to sparkle and the mind to be blown away by all the beautiful stuff, yet unknown, by most of us, that happens in a single day. It may seem like creatures of all sizes rule the world, chasing prey for survival, but in reality, the ugly truth is that we humans are the ones that make no room for "others" to coexist with us. It's sad and funny at the same time. We blindly run at full speed like animals, we take no mercy like them, we act without properly thinking like them, leaving only consequences behind. Sooner or later, we will also be chased. By who? God knows.

The same old formula for this type of film is trotted out with a "why bother?" result. Various life forms on planet Earth are shown in various stages of peril/battle/life threatening situations. Between these dark, lovingly photographed segments are scenes of "cute" animals performing silly antics with jolly music. Really? We all know animals must hunt to live, may freeze/starve to death, etc but why dwell on it? With the budget and resources these filmmakers had, why not throw caution to the wind and make a celebratory, joyous TRULY amazing film? Robert Redford delivers uninspiring narration with some real cringe-worthy lines at times. Avoid! Rated a 2 for the scenery/photography.
