A Beautiful Planet

This is a very amazing view of earth. Like I have been waiting ages to see this

A Beautiful Planet is a phenomenal documentary narrated by award winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence. The cinematography is spot-on. Every think looks so realistic. It feels like you are in space with the astronauts. All the pictures are stunning. Plus, all the angles and shots taken are perfect.

This film explores the Earth, as seen from the International Space Station (ISS) by three astronauts apart of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) who spent six months there. They are able to see the effects we humans have made on the planet and explore the galaxy in an attempt to understand the Earth a bit more. At night you can actually see major cities around the world. You also see the different storms taking place on earth. Even though it is not so pleasant when you're on earth experiencing a storm, from space it looks pretty cool! Surprisingly, there are many places that have storms occurring at the exact same time. It is very interesting to watch. Not only do you get to see the beauty of our planet, you also see the wear and tear we have contributed to it. Who would have thought humans would have such an effect!

The astronauts show us what it is like for them to live in space for an extended period of time as they venture out into space and go about their daily activities.

The part I enjoyed the most is seeing the Earth at night. It is so beautiful. You can really see where everything is, from the oceans to the continents. The whole planet is dark but then you see a many lights and even cities. It is breathtaking!

I recommend this move for ages 5 5o 18 and I give it 4 out of 5 golden stars. A Beautiful Planet will be in theaters near you, be sure to check it out.

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

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.

A Beautiful Planet (2016) is a breathtaking documentary that earns high praise for its extraordinary visuals and insightful perspective on our planet. The film's stunning cinematography and the unique vantage point it provides are truly captivating, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in the beauty and complexity of Earth.

The documentary's strength lies in its ability to showcase the planet from a perspective not often seen. The visuals are not just beautiful; they are awe-inspiring, offering a rare glimpse into the vastness and diversity of the Earth. The shots captured from space provide a unique and profound understanding of our planet's place in the universe.

What makes A Beautiful Planet particularly impactful is its ability to educate while enchanting. The film not only presents mesmerizing views of Earth but also conveys important messages about environmental conservation and our role in preserving this incredible planet. It's both an eye-opener and a visual feast.

In summary, A Beautiful Planet is a remarkable documentary that combines stunning imagery with educational content. Its exceptional cinematography and the insights it offers into our planet and its environment make it a truly fascinating and enlightening experience.
