The presentation is light and joyous and an easy viewing experience, which, unless you’re a self-hating earthling, you’re bound to love.

It is impossible to leave the theater without a deeper appreciation for the world in which we live.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

If you don't require a plot and just like seeing all these animals and learning about them than you'll enjoy it.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 30, 2019

Disney has a lot to answer for, but its worst sin may be one of its oldest -- anthropomorphizing nature.

It's impossible to not come away with a renewed respect, appreciation and awe for this place we all call home.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 29, 2011

When Disney gets involved in making things green, we're talking about the color of money.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 5, 2011

Earth hits all the right notes, and if Disney corners the market on nature documentaries and creates an annual cinematic event of this caliber tied into Earth Day, so be it.

Solid docu about global-warming informs rather than preaches.

A beautiful mix of humor, heart and spectacle that puts the studio that invented the True-Life Adventure back in touch with its wild side.

Reminds us that no matter where you are, this third rock from the sun of ours is a gorgeous thing.

| Sep 27, 2009

Like Arctic Tale, this is a great looking and interesting view of nature. Also like that other 2007 film, Earth falls short of being truly memorable.

Those familiar with the Discovery series Planet Earth won't find anything new here, but the James Earl Jones-narrated movie is fine on its own.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 30, 2009

Earth may be the most striking collection of nature photography I've ever seen. It isn't flawless, but it is a one-of-a-kind treat.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | Aug 11, 2009

A gorgeously photographed nature documentary that doesn't have enough happy moments and has far too many tragic ones.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 25, 2009

What this is, in fact, is the live-action version of the opening of The Lion King, celebrating the 'circle of life.'

Earth caters to a younger audience, keeping its biological and environmental lessons at a basic level of understanding.

| May 7, 2009

...if not exactly innovative, at least breathtaking on a how-in-the-world-did-they-get-that-shot level.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 1, 2009

I give directors Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield huge props for being able to so concisely whittle down their massive 11-episode magnum opus into such a delightfully entertaining and visually stimulating streamlined version.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 30, 2009

Setting new standards in precision wildlife photography, "Earth" remains little more than eye candy. A Playboy magazine of the planet earth.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 29, 2009

It's not only a good watch but is informative.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 27, 2009
