Reviews for Sacred Planet
Avoids polemic in favor of simply showing the many splendors we may yet lose forever.
Images are very pleasing, but only a few actually take your breath away. Still, this should provide a good springboard for conversation into civilization & environmentalism.
A repetitive, globe-hopping Imax project that dresses up well-known ecological truisms with pretty nature photography.
A glorious ode to nature that dazzles with seamless visuals and an appealing world music mix.
The images are what carry this 40-minute exploration of the nooks and crannies (and cultural disparities) of our earth.
The images are enthralling, as per usual with the giant IMAX format, and cover Alaskan glaciers, the desert Southwest, the jungles of Borneo, Thailand, the African plains, and the shores of New Zealand.
In the least preachy way possible it celebrates the natural world to make viewers pause and consider the profound importance of preserving the planet.
This Imax documentary, a hymn to the harmony of nature, is a seductive visual tone poem that portrays a world without pain, pestilence or aggression.
A by-the-numbers ecology film that's full of pretty images of Mother Earth strung together with precious little imagination, originality or enthusiasm.
