Parcs nationaux: Ces merveilles du monde

As someone who can't concentrate on anything unless there's animal visuals on in the background, I have seen more than a hundred nature documentaries. The cinematography of Our Great National Parks is absolutely breathtaking, but that's the case for many other docs as well. What makes this one unique is that it zooms in on lesser known facts about animals, facts that even I --as a self-proclaimed connoisseur-- was flabbergasted by. On multiple occasions during each episode, the documentary tackled the animal protagonists from angles that I have never seen before. Plus, despite loving the big five, it's nice watching something that's not constantly about them, but about less common critters as well.

Sir David Attenborough is and will always remain the ultimate nature doc narrator but Barack Obama has made a solid impression and I'm eager for more.

I don't understand why Our Great National Parks has such a low rating but don't let it fool you. It's an absolute must watch. I've rated it 9 stars, the same rating I gave to Planet Earth I & II, Chasing Coral and Blue Planet I & II.

Ignore the Obama haters and check this series out if it piqued your interest. Some truly beautiful camera work and a score that matches quite well make this as entertaining as any nature and animal docu-series, short of Planet Earth. But come on, nothing in this genre touches that series.

For those who are not still clinging to their anger about Obama his narration is relaxing and informative. Absolutely worth a watch if you have an interest in the natural world!

This having a 6.5 rating can ONLY be a political thing....this show is objectively EXCELLENT. If you love nature docs, you will love this...unless you can't get past the Obama thing I guess? No matter what you think about the man, Barrack Obama is very articulate and really has a great voice for this kind of thing. Now, to be clear, i watch nature documentaries for the scenery and the wonderful plants and animals. The voice is important to an extent, but I'm not focused on it. My score is based on the absolutely amazing footage! The lemurs jumping around in Madagascar was spectacular! Hippos in the Atlantic....penguins...crocodiles...all of it! Please do yourself a favor and either put your politics aside (watch it on mute if you must...it'll still be good) or ignore all the bad scores....this is really great stuff.

I really enjoyed thjs documentary about national parcs. Yes, there are hundreds of documentaries but seeing new, recent and HD-quality pictures of national parcs around tge world is a real pleasure, especially in today's tv-landscape.

For the narrating, I am not bothered that the person is a political figure but probably Republicans are and thus are bashing this docu and rated it below 5. For me, watching this docu is about earth, about nature and not about politics. For this reason, I enjoyed all episodes and rated it 8*.

It's beautiful, relaxing & informative. What's not to like? Like many other well made nature documentaries, the patience and skill needed to capture these moments in nature is truly impressive. Obama does an excellent job narrating and any extra attention given to him doing a documentary focusing on the preservation of wild life habitats is a very good thing. I highly recommend.
