If there is a human sour enough not to enjoy the sloth swimming leisurely to meet his mate, then he or she deserves to be pickled alive.

The Times (UK)

This gorgeous nature documentary megamix, with sequences liberally culled from last year's BBC Planet Earth II series, rightfully earns its place on the big screen.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

This perfectly serviceable and somewhat conventional documentary tracks the daily struggle to survive for an assortment of wild animals.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea but it is worth a watch.

Shadows on the Wall

Projected onto a big screen in all of its digital glory, this footage is spectacular. And yet the movie as a whole feels like a missed opportunity to explore how humans also fit in with this cycle of day and night.

Rated: 3/5

As expected from the [BBC's] wildlife team the photography is top-notch with clever use of framing and film speeds capturing some amazing imagery...

Rated: 3/5

Amazing film and one of the better documentaries coming out with a sense of fun and wonder. Robert Redford might not have been the correct choice for the narrator but even he can't shadow this wonderful film. The film is family friendly and for those looking for depth, like the Attenborough documentaries will be letdown. The film is beautiful to look at and is a visual splendour from beginning to end. 27/09/2018.

Showing how animal families are driven by the rhythms of night and day, this sometimes awe-inspiring doc is visually stunning. - Total Film

There are a few absolutely amazing scenes in this film. Some of them are very funny too. You will know what i mean when you get to these parts. If you like nature documentaries, this is not a waste of time.

Honestly lost interest after 20 minutes. Would have been okay if the footage transitions felt smoother and if the overall footage was more interesting.
