Yellowstone: Battle for Life

This documentary proved to be one of the best docu-films ever viewed by me. But it's a production from BBC, so there's no surprise here. The narrator(s) also set an example of how a narration to a film should be. The sound tracks are right on the track to accommodate every scene. The cinematography of it only proved how good these BBC camera guys are on top in this trade. Every scene in this film is like a painting, so beautiful and so breath-taking.

I could never imagine how viewers could give this film below 7, and those who gave 1 to 5 of it should have their eyes and brains checked; obviously CAT scan is needed, besides the visual and hearing problems. What you guys need? Because you rarely see tourists, SUV and RV in this Yellow Stone? What's wrong with you guys?

We love this documentary. This must be one of the best documentary in its category. The narrator is excellent and the visuals are breath taking. I wish I had an opportunity to watch this when I was growing up.

It comprises of 3 episodes: Winter, Summer and Autumn. All of them are excellent.

Overall, excellent value. I recommend it whole heartedly, especially if you have kids in the family. I ended up buying one as a gift for my nephews. Hopefully, they will enjoy learning from it as I did.

Sets the standard for a wildlife documentary. Highly educational with stunning photography and well written narration. I visited Yellowstone in 1995 and wish that I had been able to see this series before my visit. Viewing this series should be mandatory for all aspiring wildlife documentary producers. Rather bizarrely, in 2017 the BBC decided to produce a new three part documentary, again based on the seasons, but this time with on-screen 'presenters'. The result is awful, with lingering shots of presenters walking up hills, speaking as if we are all morons. Why they decided to do it, I've no idea. It's like trying to replace Champagne with Cider. I have this original series on DVD. I won't be buying the 2017 version.

I really enjoy watching well-produced wildlife documentaries. And, this "Yellowstone" presentation certainly had a lot to offer when it came to showing me the incredible diversity of the creatures that jointly inhabit this truly unique region of the American mid-West.

Impressively produced through the BBC Network - "Yellowstone" is an awesome 150-minute program that is sure to hold one's rapt attention from start to finish.

BREATHTAKING!!!

But FIRST... Let us FOCUS on the Title´s Content and Context:

This documentary worked a spell on me and made two and a half hours go by in a flash of glorious natural splendor! The BBC did an incredible job at filming and presenting the seasonal wonders and intricacies of what is, perhaps, the most beautiful, awe-inspiring national park on earth!

The BBC really managed to breathe life into YELLOWSTONE, bestowing it with a cyclical life all its own! The narration, by British actor Colin Firth, both in delivery and content, is heartfelt, crisp and superb. The cinematography is nothing short of breathtaking, with a truly remarkable color palate...and that was viewing an upconverted, standard DVD, not the Blu-Ray version! If you have a Blu-Ray option, you MUST be sure to use it.

Towards the end of the Documentary, Firth explains, step by step, how the reintroduction of wolves into the Yellowstone ecosystem has restored the park to an ecological balance reminiscent of the early 20th century. Thusly offering a crucial real-life example of just how fragile an ecosystem can be if it is tampered with by man!

YELLOWSTONE is one of the most dazzling, enthralling and interesting Nature documentaries I have ever seen in my entire life! Rest assured it will be added to my DVD collection. If you are a Nature lover, this is a world-class must see!
