A Beautiful Planet

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

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.

I love documentaries and i love that the last decade the quality of the images and animations have progressed so much. It makes this documentary beautiful. Having that said, the informatoin shared lacked depth and sophistication while the images flashed by way too quick.

Flying over our beautiful earth it would have been nice to just hover over an area for a while so the scenery could be taken in. It felt rushed and made for an audience that the creators judged to be in a hurry and not capable of more then a 3 second attention span. This was a real shame.

What was a shame as well is that little "agenda's" had to be pushed.. border agenda's, ideology agenda's, climate agenda's. Dont get me wrong, each and every subject of those agenda's are worthy of public awareness and debate, but not in this shallow, narrow and single sided way. Do it propper and fully or do not do it at all.

Which brings me to my closing of my review.. I really like Jennifer Lawrence, love most of her movies and can really enjoy and laugh at her interviews. Though she really lacks the voice tone and capability to do an interesting narration and for me it brought a disruptive element that lessened the experience. Money wise she doesnt need to do these kind of things and results wise she shouldnt so I hope her support team will protect her from these things in the future.
