Rating:  - Awesome miniature world
Awesome filmage. The life of insects is really fascinating and vital for the survival of rest of the living creatures on earth. Magnificent close-ups and time-lap photography. For bug lovers a really nice addition to the collection. The down side is, that the documentary is damn too short. Only 38 minutes. Product information says 40 minutes, yes, only if you count the end credits as part of the total lenght. Many scenes are staged and digital effects have been added. However, it has been well done, it is very realistic and the "making of" section is informative and interesting. The overall impression is that this documentary is worth the price. Although, Microcosmos, Genesis and Life in the Undergrowth are MUCH better.
Rating:  - Wow, eye popping
Our whole family, my girls(2 and 3yrs), my wife and I love it, didn't expect to enjoy it this much. Wish we could see it in the original 3-D. It is obvious that they put a lot of effort into this, details. details details, all blown up to see up close. Makes you want to got to your own back yard to see what is living in the weeds. The extras are full of even more cool footage and stories. Buy it, otherwise, it's going to bug you!
Rating: - bugs
One of the best bug dvd s I have seen. Several of my friends have also viewed my copy and every one, bug lover or not, thinks it is great. several even commented on the narration being so clear. I loved it absolutely. Such wonderful photography.
Rating: - Wonderful photography
This DVD is a wonderful window into the world of bugs. However, it was not the Nature film I thought it would be. The DVD tells a "life story" of a butterfly and a praying mantis and all of the photos are staged and posed. That may or may not be a deterrent to most people who like to watch this type of DVD. This is NOT an animated kid's film - a clue is the reference to IMAX. The "how did they film this?" section of the DVD was fascinating.
All in all a wonderful DVD with some amazing close ups of the bug world.
Rating: - BREATHTAKING JOURNEY INTO ANOTHER WORLD
This incredibly beautiful film is like a trip to the outer edges of Eden. The stunning cinematography is a sight to behold again and again. Judi Dench's measured voice work is a perfect match. This film reminds me a little of "Micro Cosmos" in tone and style. I have an affection for the great beauty of the natural world caught on film. I find it reassuring and also somewhat disturbing that this world is more mysterious than we can possibly imagine and also more awesome and wonderful. Yes, feel the wonder and awe. Because that's what this little gem is all about.
