A Beautiful Planet

We do indeed need Earth. If anything, I'd rather fight for humanity than for other society causes. At any case, if we all really tried to do our part, the Earth can at least tend to last longer. According to this film, if causes like global warming continue to spread, the surface of the Earth could look like Mars if we literally did nothing. This was a nice 45 minute Imax 3D experience visualizing the best way possible of the Earth as seen from space. The storms at night was one of the best moments. With some included space station shots and the astronauts that work there, a good majority of the film is a breathtaking experience with much of it coming from the Imax screening and audio technology. The Earth is Beautiful and it needs to be saved.

A delight to the senses, A Beautiful Planet pleasingly captures the essence of what it means to be alone in the universe and why we should do our part to save it. With stunning visuals of the earth as seen from the ISS and a soundtrack so perfect, it has all the elements : the mysteriousness,the vastness and the loneliness.

Also showing the daily life of astronauts inhibiting the ISS, the documentary also reminds us of the grave danger looming over the planet, Global Warming. Jennifer Lawrence did a fantastic job,her voice ever so mystifying and calming.

With breathtaking scenes ,praiseworthy narration, thrilling soundtracks and noteworthy direction, this short documentary tries to depict all things that make our planet truly special, in limited time and nearly succeeds.

I don't think Jennifer Lawrence was the best choice for a narrator.

I'm going to play this on a nonstop loop on my tv. It's that good.

So I really enjoy these types of productions and I would say I have perhaps above the general understanding of space as it's a hobby of mine but I do not think I'm being to judgmental when I say this film is basic to the point I felt like reviewing it. Jenifer Lawrence the narrator says things like "do you wonder if there's other planets out there"...the current generation can be dubbed literally generation exoplanet.. There is a piece on humans being hard on the environment told in the most trite way as "the world was once green then.." No the world has been through tons of disasters on it's own. Yes humans are contributing heavily but being so unspecific is like the people that say eating meat is evil or other ridiculous sayings that help nothing. The film throws mars in to the mix as a half baked lesson on climate changes but doesn't delve into the real reasons for its state. Yes climate change is real and an issue but correct information is necessary. All in all the writing felt like it was made by someone who doesn't have much of a background in the subject matter or chose to be basic in approach.
