Planet Earth
The first high-definition BBC nature documentary, also the most expensive commissioned at the time. It focuses on the various biomes of earth, and shows amazing geographical features as well as their wildlife inhabitants.
Life
Life is similar to Planet Earth, but focusing on wildlife and it's balance. Generally, episodes follow a specific category of life (eg reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, plants, etc) and highlight stories within each.
Human Planet
As you might expect, Human Planet emphasizes our own existence on earth, and our relationship and adaption to nature. Each episode focuses on different environments that we sapiens have made our home in, which is to say, all of them. Of course, there are environmentalist messages scattered throughout, but as a whole, the series retains the beautiful natural storytelling of Planet Earth and Life without becoming preachy.
\If you've never seen any of these amazing documentaries, please do check them out, they are really fantastic.
Those places are beautiful! Hopefully someday I can see them in real life instead on a screen :p.
ReplyDeleteI'm fond towards the idea of reinforcing emphasis of our existence on earth. I often watch these documentaries, and others like them, before I go to sleep.
ReplyDeleteThese shows are awesome. They always remind me of what I am missing out on as I sit at home on my couch. Always reinvigorates me to go out and walk through the nature preserves and go camping!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are fantastic. I especially enjoy the picture of the snow covered mountain range. Do you know where in the world this picture was taken?
