I watched the 10:30 PM showing of
earth yesterday, which certainly had more eye-candy than the standard fare on television.
There were obvious problems with projecting anthropomorphic emotions onto animals (no, polar bears
cannot "remember" the spirit of survival their ancestors had), and the film was admittedly sparse in actual scientific commentary. I'm not sure how one can speak about the diversity of life without some mention of the underlying evolutionary connections, but it was done.
Narrative flaws aside, however,
earth was very visually awe-inspiring, especially with the unique timelapse of seasonal changes and panoramic landscape shots. It was also announced that Disneynature will be releasing another documentary that focuses on
oceans next year.
Now, with our purchase of three tickets, there will be three more trees in this world...except that the deforestation of the Amazon is occurring at about six football fields per minute.
