Nature’s Great Events [DVD] [2009] Excellent documentary – R. Lewis – UK
Filmed in 1080i, but image quality and photography is stunning nonetheless. Truly remarkable and worth watching on Blu-Ray to fully appreciate the raw power and wonder of the natural world. I would recommend anyone to buy this.
‘Nature’s Greatest Events’ is a series of superb documentaries, about one hour long each. They cover different aspects (fauna, flora, landscape, etc…) of a particular event, and are all captivating.
The photography is fantastic. The commentary of David Attenborough very instructional and captivating. The ‘Behind the scene’ section following each documentary is as enjoyable as the documentaries themselves!
I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD and highly recommend it. I lived in Angola, Africa and went to the Okavango delta in Botswana, yet I learnt so much more about this ecosystem covering these 2 countries by watching the DVD!
I own (too?) many DVD series by BBC/Attenborough, and out of my extensive collection, this DVD is my favorite! : Nature’s Great Events takes up the mantle left by the stunning BBC series Planet Earth, and offers a closer look at some of the most fascinating and dramatic natural happenings on the planet. Narrated by David Attenborough, it digs in some detail into the impact on nature of certain events, and manages to hone in on small stories in the midst of major happenings. It’s a breathtaking cocktail.
What particularly lifts Nature’s Great Events too is the stunning photography. Those who recall Planet Earth will recall just how superb the shots within that frequently were, but if anything, Nature’s Great Events tops it. The cinematography here is world-class, and it greatly enhances the series around it as a result.
That said, there’s more than enough substance to Nature’s Great Events as it stands anyway. Diligently made and researched, and presented in an accessible, yet not condescending manner, it’s another major success for the BBC in this area, and further cements why it’s a world leader where natural history documentaries are concerned.
Credit must go too for the decision to include the making-of material. Back when the BBC broadcast The Blue Planet, these were often just as interesting as the main feature itself, and the same is true here. It’s a genuinely fascinating insight into the production of such an ambitious, and unmissable, series. –Jon Foster Nature’s Great Events [DVD] [2009]
