Storyline

From the unique vantage point of 200 miles above Earth's surface, we see how natural forces - volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes - affect our world, and how a powerful new force - humankind - has begun to alter the face of the planet. From Amazon rain forests to Serengeti grasslands, Blue Planet inspires a new appreciation of life on Earth, our only home.

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.

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.

A real moviemaker's movie.
