Movie Reviews of Life in the Undergrowth
Movie Review: An extraordinary wildlife cinematography.
Summary: 5 Stars
Life in the Undergrowth
Life in the Undergrowth is simply extraordinary .The Macrophotography is excellent providing an unbelievable Depth of Field and Clarity .And also the detailed coverage of some of the rare species in their hard to reach living places. With the excellent work by Mike Salisbury and Sir David (Including narration by Sir David) makes this DVD amazing and very interesting to watch over and aver again.Bonus interview of the producer Mike Salisbury is also interesting.
After watching this DVD I realized that how much interesting activity is going on in the world of small animals like insects we used to see everyday in our surroundings.this film brings out the secrets of their life.
Movie Review: Wow! This Could Be One Of Attenborough's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! I am dumb-founded by the production quality of this DVD.
I am ready to put it at the top of my Attenborough collection.
I have them all, and have seen and re-seen all of them many, many times.
But good photography (don't get me wrong - the photography of this DVD is better than excellent) does not make an excellent wildlife documentary. It is always the "teleplay" or the subject matter, and perhaps even more importantly, the way in which the episodes are ordered.This one is simply perfect. You can't edit one word out, or re-sequence something.
Watch all of them in order, until you are blown away by the mutinies of the insect world...
If you are a fan of Sir David Attenborough, this is a *must* have for your collection.
Movie Review: Unique!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just when you thought age was finally catching up on Sir David, he proves us wrong again. With Life in the Undergrowth, he just proves how much of energy he still has in him, which we sure can aspire to have!
Life in the Undergrowth is a superlative documentary, touching on the invertebrates in a way which we might not have imagined. The photography is almost unbelievable, the narration is awesome and the overall presentation if the DVD is excellent. This is a must buy for anyone who enjoys anything to do with the natural world.
I don't get creeped easily when it comes to animals and bugs, but that centipede sure got to me! Spent a couple of nights not sleeping and watching under the doors and window gaps!
Movie Review: Excellent Teaching Resource
Summary: 5 Stars
This series would easily fit into a middle or high school life science curriculum. Each program is made up of five segments that cover a specific aspect of invertebrate biology. The segments can be shown individually to fit the classroom topic instead of just showing the entire program. This DVD would definately enhance any lessons on invertebrate biology. The first program chronicles the evolutionary rise of Arthropods from their watery environment and features such creatures as velvet worms, millipedes, centipedes and annelids. The rest of the videos explore the biology and reproductive strategies of insects and aracnids. This series is captivating and inexpensive.Movie Review: BBC & Mother Nature: Peas & Carrots
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot state succinctly just how amazing this series was! It was an extremely thorough treatment of a portion of our planet which, frankly, we humans do not offer the level of appreciation and conservation that we very much need to. I was ignorant of this fact until watching this series. I had no idea just how complex and diverse are the insect and arachnid worlds. Even if the nature lesson isn't what you're looking for, then you have to watch it at the very least to be amazed by the video footage. In full color and live action, you get to see insects at a scale and level of detail that used to be reserved for electron micrographs. Simply stunning!
