Earth

A nature series documentary narrated by James Earl Jones, follows the lives of several animals over the span of several years.

The cinematography is stunning. Absolutely beautiful and reason enough to go see this movie in the theatre. I did think however that the movie tried to cover far too much of the earth itself instead of focusing, as it claims, on the three species, elephants, whales, and polar bears. Instead it kind of bounces around trying to cover all aspects of life, leaving the audience a little removed from their plight. Keep in mind it is Disney and perhaps this was done on purpose as to not seem too cruel to young children. Nevertheless if you are going to be a story about nature--Go big or go home.

Entertaining enough for children and although a tad unengaged in terms of storyline--the cinematography is worth the ticket.

*** See it on the BIG SCREEN
