Final Days of Planet Earth [Blu-ray]

Final Days of Planet Earth [Blu-ray] Review

This movie is definitely for Sci-fi fans. It is more on the subdued side as opposed to the high octane type, like 'Alien'. However, it is a good story.
Fairly formula type: the earth is being invaded by bugs using human skins to blend in in order to get a substance to help their 'race' survive. Humans are expendable.
I gave this four stars because it could have easily been shorter. Coming in close to 4 hours with a low key plot... you really have to like this genre to sit through it. But I do like this genre, still think it could have been shorter though.
Definitely a family type, low key, not much in the way of violence or strong language or sexual situations. Worth a watch.

Water Life: Planet Water [Blu-ray]

Water Life: Planet Water [Blu-ray] Review

Water Life is a very good documentary and probably the best I've seen in a long time that wasn't produced by the BBC. Visually, this documentary is stunning (especially in blu-ray). It covers aquatic environments on land and in water, showcasing the diversity and range of ecosystems.

This isn't simply another version of Blue Planet: Seas of Life. In fact, Water Life features relatively few of the large, charismatic aquatic animals such as whales and sharks (although they are in the documentary). Rather, this series spends a good deal of time with the smaller creatures. It does this well, with great closeups of insects and baby fish. Many of these animals, while not new to science, are certainly new to TV viewers. In fact, it's almost more like Microcosmos in that sense.

Unfortunately, the narrator doesn't match the quality of the footage. The narrator's voice is extremely dry, almost robotic. While the images show awesome scenes of water ripping through valleys, the narrator comes across as pedantic in tone. It's too bad David Attenborough couldn't narrate it. Perhaps the narration could be remixed for a new version of Water Life.

Water Life: Planet Water [Blu-ray] Overview

From wild and pure mountain lakes, where rivers
begin, to magnificent coral reefs constructed by
millions of coral polyps, this is an epic portrait
of life's rich diversity. It presents eye-opening
testimony to the dangers that threaten this
precious, non-renewable resource.

Water Life captures extraordinary locations and intimate animal behavior never before seen on
film. Two years in the making, this groundbreaking series takes viewers on an unprecedented
visual journey to aquatic ecosystems on five continents to reveal how water shapes and sculpts
the landscape and provides food and refuge for an astonishing array of species. This epic series
tells water's story as never before to engage viewers in vital discussions about how water must
be conserved and preserved.
