One Life (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Wow. This video gives an impression of the awesomeness of life more than other I can think of. To watch this you cannot but be inmpressed by the hand god must have had in the evolution/creation of life- however you think it came about. (Of course it never references that- it's purely observation, purely science :). It's just SOOOOO amazing.There is the water buffalo/Komodo dragon scene, for those with kids or sensitivities, but the actual death occurrs off camera. The elephant scene mentioned in the Africa film I think is here, too, but no baby elephant dies here. The only actual mating I remember is with beetles. There is the courtship of humpback whales- something I've never seen before! I think this is safe to show to my young boys. There is an ostrich being taken down by cheetahs but I think it's manageable. No blood/gore.This film does jump subjects rapidly, but it's slow moving within each subject. Not too fast for kids I think, as far as movies go anyways.Lastly I think it might be better had David Attenborough narrated, alas, but certainly the film is outstanding regardless. I can see from reviews how this one has repeats from others, but as a stand alone, (from someone who hasn't see "Africa" or " life") it's great! I think this is a great one for adults and especially for children, in regards to fostering empathy, respect, commonality, etc with/for the life we share this planet with.

I had no idea what to expect, but One Life continued to amaze. I surprised my family by choosing it for our movie night, and my 5-and 8-year old grimaced. But, from the opening, the boys were won over, glued to the film. My 5-year old said, "I want to pick this for my movie night!" During the film, my wife and I kept looking at each other in amazement. It is not ideological or left-leaning (as I expected), yet it is deeply moving and unmistakably moral.I think everyone needs to see this film.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. This documentary will drop your jaw with its cinematography and just the simply astonishing way it's been put together. The locations are awesome and the actors in leading roles - the quirky, clever, cruel, lovable animals - are unbelievable. Perfect film for not only adults who need to be reminded of the beauty of our planet and the animals that exist on it but also for kids who need to be taught early on to respect nature.

Had initially a problem but was it was worked out to satisfactory and I am happy again. Thank you for remedy of problem 👍

I like these videos of wild life. It shows wild animals in its kingdom with espectacular quality.

a truly beautiful look at animals all over the world. Great narration and cinematography.I rented this as streaming, but this is one I'd like to own. I know I will want to watchit many times.

Have many of the BBC series. Love them.

I own Life, Planet Earth, Human Planet, Africa, Baraka, Samsara, and many other tales of mother Earth. Unfortunately most of my ,somewhat, older series are on DVD. So I ordered One Life on BR for image Quality expecting may be a few extras. There is nothing new. What was a little sad is that they tried to stick too many sequences into one disk. The story jumps from animal to animal in Life, giving each maybe 5 mins (approximate). The fast pace doesn't allow for a connection between me and the subject to form and blossom.

Un bellissimo film da guardare con i bimbi! Contiene due CD,il primo con il film, mentre il secondo con una serie di temi specifici per varie specie animali. Al mio bimbo di 4 anni è piaciuto molto, e anche a me. Incuriosisce e non è affatto noioso.

I bought this for my kids to introduce them to how animals live in the wild. It’s quite difficult to know which documentaries are appropriate for kids, since nature can often be very violent and cruel. This is a great film, nicely presented by Daniel Craig, in clear, understandable language. The selection of animals and habitats is very good, a bit of everything. The photography is beautiful and the ‘stories’ are really extraordinary. The only minor point is that there’s one story about hungry dragons in Indonesia which is seriously scary: it actually gave my 5-year-old son nightmares... so I wouldn’t recommend this for under 5s.

Excellent documentary!

les images sont magnifiques et les commentaires agréables avec une pointe d'humour, ce qui ne gâte rien. Un beau moment à partager avec toute la famille, d'autant que les scènes sont classées par thème (la naissance, la nourriture, la fuite devant le danger, la conquête d'un partenaire, la protection des jeunes...). On s'attache aux "personnages" car on partage tous ces aspects de leur vie.

Un gran documental, en alta definición se ve soberbio. Por poner una pega, quizás no aporte mucho para quien ha visto los documentales de LIFE en HD por separado. Este blue-ray sería como el resumen de los mejores momentos de todos ellos.
