Quartile rating: 6.5/10 · 1 rating
Years spent recording footage of creatures from every corner of the globe is bound to produce a bit of drama. Here's a behind-the-scenes look.
A making-of companion to Our Planet, this behind-the-scenes documentary showcases genuinely breathtaking footage and reveals the extraordinary logistical challenges of capturing wildlife on film — the cinematography and dedication on display are exceptional. However, as a supplementary piece it follows a fairly standard 'how it was made' format with limited narrative arc or plot structure, and lacks the novelty of a standalone documentary with a distinct creative vision. The human stories of the crew add warmth but the format is familiar territory for nature documentary extras.
