Kanada Kev Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 This show is friggin' INCREDIBLE. Watched 3 episodes earlier this week and was blown away. Stunning visuals ... interesting content. The Rainforest episode was bizarre. Those fungi that "attack" insect as spores, make them go insane, and then "sprout" out of the carcass was FREAKY! The chimpanzee attack on a neighbouring colony was slightly disturbing with the canibalization of the little one Nature. The long shots in the Polar episode were mind blowing. The one where they pan back from a polar bear and you get a sense of the immense size of the glacier! And the other one at the end where they are fying above a couple of polar bears and zoom out to show the vast, and desolate, terrain that they wander. WOW. Later . . .

Kanada Kev Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 The time lapse photography in this series is the best that i've seen. The scenes showing the penguins huddled together and moving around was fascinating.The show is on Newsworld tonight, in case anyone missed it this week (like me!)Later . . .Kanada Kev =8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
