Levit 3/4 "Every bit as majestic and eye-opening as the title infers."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B- "As a movie made with kids -- and mass consumption -- in mind, Earth labors under some frustrating limitations. But as a palatable, engaging reel of incredible nature photography, it has few equals."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "Enriching, informative and noteworthy, Earth explores the wonderment of our neighboring species and the behavioral observations that ensue in glorified curiosity."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng 4/5 "A top-drawer documentary that provides the perfect occasion for families to celebrate together the wonders, diversity, and miracles of nature and animals."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat C "It feels like this has all been done before. And better."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 3/4 "There's no question that, given the option, Planet Earth is the way to go. This movie will do in a pinch, however, and it is impressive -- provided you find a way to block out the voiceovers."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 3/5 "ena entyposiakis klimakas kai filodoksion ntokimanter (fysikis istorias), poy katagrafei me eikones eksopragmatikis omorfias toyto ton kosmo mas ton mikro ton mega, ksekinontas ap' ton enan polo kai kataligontas ston allo"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3.5/5 "Don't let the fact that this film is re-edited from existing footage stop you from seeing it. It is quite simply breathtaking on the large screen."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr "It's not that this lovely-to-look-at nature documentary is bad: it's just that it's completely redundant as a film."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "Fundamentally a condensed trailer for the BBC's portrait of the globe's myriad habitats, the film offers a skimpy but reverential portrait of the intertwined relationship between the environment and its inhabitants."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager B "The production values of this film are very good, but it wanders away from its three main storylines often enough that it may not hold the attention of children."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 7/10 "Setting new standards in precision wildlife photography, "Earth" remains little more than eye candy. A Playboy magazine of the planet earth."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson "Reminds us that no matter where you are, this third rock from the sun of ours is a gorgeous thing."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 3.5/5 "entertains as much as it educates"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell A- "In a sea of Hollywood formula, artifice and escapism, here is an invitation to wonder, awe and gratitude."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 9/10 "If your family enjoys this kind of entertainment, do yourself a favor and rent the BBC's "Planet Earth" from which most of the spectacular footage was lifted."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 86% Fresh Page   1
