I take no pleasure in dumping on a 25-year-old pseudo-experimental nature documentary, but neither did I find much to like in Blue Planet.

The exhilaration is triggered by the documentary's glowing depiction of a beautiful Earth; the depression comes from the knowledge that the natural bounty that God bestowed on us is being destroyed by greedy humankind.

A real moviemaker's movie.

As witnessed here, nature is its own avant-garde artist, but Blue Planet loses some of its splendor when Piavoli diverts his gaze to the world of humans.

If anything, Blue Planet should leave a lingering desire to spend an afternoon appreciating the splendors of nature, and a lifetime need of preserving and protecting it.
