Movie Reviews of Life
Movie Review: Honest Review From a Biology Teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though many reviewers are giving this product negative review because of Oprah's narration, I think that it is time that someone wrote an honest review about the product. After watching the first two episodes last night, I must say that this series is simply AMAZING! The footage was entertaining and educational at the same time. This is the same reason that Planet Earth has been so successful as well. When I show the Planet Earth series in the class the kids actually cannot wait to watch it. They always ask when we are watching it again. Like Planet Earth, Life tells a great story in every episode and we get to see things that often times we have never seen before.
All those complaining about Oprah being the narrator are missing something. When my students are watching a series like this, a narrator they can identify with helps them relate to the subject matter even more. You should see the kids when they realize that the narrator from Planet Earth is from Avatar. They make the connection, and they can relate to the narrator. David Attenborough may have more a "scientific" background than Oprah Winfrey, but my students and many other non-science folk cannot relate to him. If he were the narrator of this series on Discovery, many might quickly view this as "too scientific" and move on. If you don't like her narration, buy the other version. I'm buying this version to show my students because her voice makes this interesting educational series even more appealing to them.
If you like a great story with great characters, then you need to check out this series. Words cannot describe how awesome it was to see a "Jesus Christ Lizard" running across the water, monkeys using rocks as tools, a toad that tenses up its muscles to become "pebble-like" and roll down a mountain to get away from a predator, or three cheetahs working together to take down an ostrich! Another fantastic series from BBC and Discovery!!
