Earth is a spectacular showcase of nature and the tragedies that happen within the wild, all narrated by the sexy voice of James Earl Jones :D. This is a movie that you need to see on the big screen, or at least on a large High Definition TV on blue-ray as soon as it is released. The beautiful sweeping shots of Earth is enough for any fan of film making to appreciate it. It's the most beautiful movie of this year without a doubt and one of the most gorgeous to look at in quite a while.
The film starts with a Polar Bear Family, their struggles in finding food and separation from the father of the family. They must also complete their journey before the ice melts, because if they do not, they could be stranded at sea. The next animal family is a mother and baby elephant. They must journey to an area with water, but must get through a dry and barren land, with dead trees and a few very small watering holes, as well as a few sandstorms. They must also escape hungry, prowling lions. The final family is a mother and young humpback whale. They travel from a tropic breeding ground to Antarctica, the longest journey of any water mammal in the world. They show a few other animals, most memorably a cheetah hunting an antelope and a tropical bird trying to attract a female, through a rather entertaining dance.
James Earl Jones' voice is spectacular and his work makes the film all the more entertaining, especially during the bird's dance to attract a female. He should definitely narrate every movie that requires narration, because his voice is perfect for it, sorry Morgan Freeman.
The score is beautiful, and the mood changes in accordance with the tone of the film perfectly. Disney usually has amazing scores to go along with their films and this was no different. The cinematography is breathtaking and it's incredible how they got some of the shots. I love how they show the various methods they used to shoot the film during the credits. I recommend the film to anyone who loves nature, or to anyone who loves cinematography. It's truly a beautiful film.

Oh and I can't wait for Ocean next year, it looks glorious.
