It really was an amazing movie to see if you hadn't seen Planet Earth, which all of the scenes were plucked from. The narrator was lovely - he had a very kind voice you wanted to listen to. Over all, if you haven't seen the clips in Planet Earth, this movie is well worth watching.
Ok, last year, my fourth grade class went on a field trip to watch this movie. It was awful. I hate it. Violence is present, and hurting, killing, injuring, pain, and all of the other things that our eyes want to start to water when we watch it are highlighted in this movie. It's depressing and saddening. A learning expierence is to scare and make you depressed? No, and that is why I highlighted nothing under "any highlights?" Positive message? More like negative message: It's a dog-eat-dog world. What?! Is that a message? Yeah, it's a cruel world, and we already know that, but, gosh, do we REALLY want to watch a whole 90 minutes about the cruelty of animals? Enemies and hate? Hurting, pain, and DEATH? Really, think about it for a moment. Awful movie. I regret ever watching this.
My school went to see it for a feild trip. I don't hate it cause it's life. Little kids might be upset cause lots of animals died in this movie. I couldn't help to cry when the polar bear died.
I just saw this movie today, and it's great! Social Message: Not an issue. Consumerism: Uses some footage from Planet Earth. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco: Not an issue. Violence: Animal violence, but no blood or gore. Sex: Not an issue. Language: Suprisingly, there's bleeped-out profanity in the credits. When I heard the bleep, I was like "WTH?", but I laughed, because it was very unexpected. Overall, this is a great movie for all ages to enjoy for generations. After you see this, purchase "Planet Earth", the series where this originated from.
The movie was great, but it can be saddening. 2 cubs die, 1 father polar bear dies, and more, but it is pretty educational and that is just how it actully happened so don't blame the movie directors
Earth is the first outing for the disney nature series it is very impressive but may pull on the heartstrings of most viewers expecially younger viewers but other than that dazzling.
I am 10 years old. The film makers had the nerv to film a starving father polar bear.The bear was stranded in the water miles from shore and when it finally found land (far away from its home land antartica) filled with walruses, the starving bear tried to get food but was too exhausted from its long swim and could not get any food. When it died they put the death in slow motion.Why? When the guys in the helicopter filmed the starving polar bear that was completly suffering how could thay watch it die without helping? The movie for me was about death and human insensitivity in the face of animal suffering.
I haven't seen this movie, but I have seen MANY commercials for this, and it looks FANTASTIC. My brother is going to see this with his science class. I'm assuming, since it's about nature and animals, that there will be MUCH violence like killing of animals and all that. Movies like these are beautiful, but hard to watch.
