Jose N 2d Me encantó. Es un documental impresionante a nivel visual y sonoro. Me gustó mucho cómo combina entretenimiento, historia y ciencia de forma realista y envolvente. Es de los mejores documentales que he visto.

Tom Hiddleston does well to step into Attenborough’s place despite the tall task. If I had any criticisms it would be the lack of identifying certain species names and going off of a larger group name such as rhino, hyena, manatee, etc. The transition between different scenes could also be a bit more pronounced to really know when the animal being focused on has shifted. See more anonymous c @anonymouscoward Jan 9 Great visuals, terrible commentary. * some animals are not named (Elasmotherium), or given very generic names * jumps between locations across the planet, misleading the viewer. In New Lands (an episode about North and South America merging), the narrator talks about animals sometimes getting marooned on islands as a mammoth walks along a land bridge. But the following scene is in Flores (Indonesia)! In Desert Lands, animals of Australia are shown, until a Moa appears, in New Zealand! We are never told. * avoids mentioning when animals lived, leaving us guessing whether humans were already present or not (Gigantopithecus). But worst of all, the show massively downplays the role of humans in the extinctions of the animals shown. One would think that they were already doomed (due to climate change) when humans struck the killing blow. But these animals were adaptable and survived many cycles of glacial and inter-glacial periods. Without humans, most of them would still be around.

It's a pleasant dramatization of life forms we never winessed with ambient music and witty commentary. Concluding with a reminder on preserving the only place that's certainly habitable to us. The prehistoric planet wrap up another great season. See more Nikita G @AngrySloth Dec 14 I could tolerate it, till episode 4, where I swear they went OUT OF THEIR WAY to avoid mentioning Aotearoa New Zealand. Since the show clearly isn't going to tell anyone, the Moa is from our little left-off-the-map country. There was no competition because there were never any mammals or marsupials (not counting a couple of bats). Assuming I could forgive that oversight (I can't), this series has other flaws. Like it's predecessors, there is a lack of clarity about location (yes, even if I forget about the moa). Vague continents are mentioned, but few maps. Similarly, there is no clear timeline, unlike the Walking With Series. Tom is a breathy and relatively dispassionate narrator, and an established actor in a very different and distinctive niche. David Attenborough is of course incomparable, but if you can hire Tom, why not Morgan Freeman? The biggest tragedy is the blurring of fact and fiction. You just can't trust what they tell you. And I'd say more, but the word limit hits See more David S @Drseid Dec 9 The visuals are amazing, but there is just something wrong with watching a phoney narrative read by an actor, Hiddleston, (albeit a great one) to show us what *might* have happened, but presented as if it was complete reality. I think I will stick to Planet Earth with Attenborough. See more Read all reviews
