Most of the footage is stunning, yet the film is more about observation than visual stimulation. - 70
Variety
While it features some of the most breathtaking nature photography this side of BBC’s “Planet Earth” miniseries, this gorgeously cinematic docu ties said footage to a leaden all-purpose eco-consciousness message that nearly spoils the otherwise timeless experience. - 70

The movie’s cinematographers may hog the limelight, but it’s the sweat of the sound engineers that brings their work to life. - 63
Boston Globe
The voice-over narrator (Perrin) recites environmentally pious platitudes that offer little enlightenment about what’s on the screen. This is annoying when something strange and unfamiliar is being shown.
