2.0 out of 5 stars A good but hugely irritating earth documentary at the same time!, 14 May 2009

By	80's rock fan (UK) - See all my reviews

Anything to do with nature or science geographic television always grabs my attension, there has been hugely amazing documentary series over the last couple of years including "Ray Mears, Michael Palin's adventures, Raging planet, Coast and more recently Wild china and Yellowstone on the BBC" these are classics in their own right and are watertight in terms of relative visuals, inspiring narrators, accurate commentary and informative.

Which is rather unfortunate that i'm unable to say the same about Earth from Above, this is actually a reasonable documentary but what's disapointing more than anything else is the fact that it's let down badly in relatively few areas, but seem to an reccuring effect through the whole series, which not only irritates but does to some extent bring the thing down with it, Let me explain.

What you actually have on offer here is a Earth documentary which focuses in on detail a very debatable and contraversial subject matter in the form of sustainability. Two discs in this set cover the sea as one topic and the planet as a whole on the other, a very good idea you might think and you'd be right! Very few documentaries venture into this territory as there are always arguments for and against, pros and cons for lots of conservation issues this series so elegantly examines.

For that reason it deserves some credit, its rather interesting you get taken to various parts of the world, where the narration, specificness and photography of the beautiful landscapes was very good, and areas of scutiny include the impact of humans, pollution and lots of factual information into possible ways we become more sustainable.

However, the irratating areas i find are within the interviews, they are conducted with various environmentalists, conservationists and reserchers from around the world, very few if any speak english and rather than a straight forward tranlation into english, the languages are overdubed with the interviews in ( particularly french ) but with an english overdub over the top, it's very conflicting and very very annoying, this is a recurring problem throughout.

The other is a rather classroom style and annoying pop-ups with factual information from time to time when you least expect it,usually when your eyes are taken in on the beautiful landscapes behind, it's totally unforgivable, mainly becouse they keep on happening.
Lastly i find the series should have been longer as i feel each area gets a poor proportionate value of time spent on each analysis as it should.

Disapointment for me was the order of the day, especially when i spent my money on it, it's not so much bad, just a huge letdown as it could be so much more. I could be just being too critical but i don't think so, when i compare this with the other fantastic documentary series mentioned above it just doesn't feel as good or contain such irratating features.

If your looking for another high quality and in-depth documentary series i strongly recommend a look elsewhere these pop-ups and language overdubs for me have a substantial negative impression and as a result i don't think il ever be returning to this again. To point customers who may agree with my review in the right direction i recommend Earth, the power of the planet" by doctor Ian Stuart as a much better alternative.

To everyone else i would treat with alot of caution and hope you may get more enjoyment out of this DVD than i did.
Thank you for taking the time to read this review.
