 Something Special October 12, 2007
Ooooooooh this is so gorgeous, especially if you're recovering from illness,stress, feeling down, or just stuck in on a rainy day or listing to a childs first sentences. such as Stag beetle..."fierce" Bee orchid...."Happy"
Another of my favourite films. There are some special places such as ancient chalk downland at times when the surroundings buz and rustle.
It absorbes and moves and uplifts you, this beautiful film does just that.
Captivating...larger than life, literally! September 30, 2007

Absolutely brilliant. Free from all bias, which makes it all the more easy to simply sit back and enjoy the wonder of the world beneath our feat. The most amazing special effects in this are the stars themselves - what you see is ultimate beauty, mystery, complexity and simplicity - all at once.
Well worth a look!

I bought this DVD to share with my retired father - and when he'd seen it we shared it with a room full of cynical teenagers...who just melted into fascinated and awestruck silence.
They laughed out loud at the toils of the dung beetle, they flinched as the ants were eaten and they were amazed by the spider building its nest out of air bubbles under water.
This is a beautiful film which you will watch again and again -each time wishing there was more. If ever there was a family film this is it.

This film is absolutely spectacular. You might think that a whole film full of insect footage may be a bit too much but it isn't at all. It is just brilliant.

This is absolutely superb! One of my first experiences with a docu-film that doesn't have a commentary & it was absolutely riveting. The music blends effortlessly and emotional;ly with the visual feast. My only complainmt would be the lack of special features, on which would hopefully have included an explanation of how the producers made the film and an explanation of some of the creatures seen. Then the film would also have an educational element.
