Movie Reviews of Life in the Undergrowth
Movie Review: a masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Another masterpiece of David Attenborough, for me the best. I'd never thought a documentary about insect life could be so fascinating. Most bizarre adaptations, alliances, enemies... Especially the episode on social insects is breathtaking because we humans also have an advanced technology, and we live like highly organized termites. Termites are slaves of their society, enslaved by their DNA imprinting, whereas we are slaves of our modern economy enslaved by education and indoctrination.Movie Review: Amazing View into a World Rarely Considered
Summary: 5 Stars
Just amazing! I loved the springtails and the mating slugs. When watching the first time, I was entranced by the images. During later watchings, I found myself wondering just how they got those shots. And the video isn't the only good thing about this DVD. There's some info here that even science buffs might not be aware of. Each segment gave me interesting ideas to research and consider.
Even if insects aren't your thing, I think you would enjoy this DVD.
Movie Review: Mind Blowing
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary is one of the finest I have ever seen. The closeup photography of the insects is beautiful and of the highest quality. David Attenborough gives a compelling and extremely informative narrative. The five episodes are structured so that we learn about the insects from the earliest ones to leave the ocean all the way up to the most complex societies of bees and ants. I learned many fascinating and mind blowing facts about insect behavior. It's a MUST SEE!Movie Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little hesitant to by this at first because I thought that I would've been spoiled by Blue Planet and Planet Earth. However, this turned out to be just as wonderful. I dare someone to find something negative to say about David Attenborough. The episodes in this documentary are informative, interesting and narrated beautifully. The camera work is amazing and you continue to watch every moment in awe at what you're seeing. I highly recommend it.Movie Review: highly recommended for armchair scientists like me!
Summary: 5 Stars
My only complaint is that it's only two DVD's! This is by far one of the best narrated documentaries I've seen on the tiny universe, ever. Better than "Microcosmos", "Invisible World", or any of the other productions, David Attenborough really shines as our tour guide in a world full of violence, sex, life, and death! The cinematography is very impressive, and lives of the alien creatures beneath our feet unfolds like a movie you cannot turn off!
