Go on a breathtaking adventure through time and across five continents to reveal nature's most vital secret. Climb into the prickly jaws of insect-eating plants. Watch a flying fox gorge itself on a midnight snack of figs. Witness a mantis disguised as a flower petal lure its prey to doom. You'll see the alarming destruction humankind has caused to our ecosystems and find hope in recent efforts to restore the natural balance we have disturbed.

1 out of 5 stars Not good. Picture faded. Information is brief and skin-deep.   July 24, 2008
I owned more than 10 DVD collections of this genre such as Planet Earth, Walking with dinosaurs. Secret of Life on Earth is ranked at the bottom because of the reasons listed below.

- The picture looks washed out. Planet Earth looks sharp, vividly colorful.

- The information is very brief and skin deep. It's more suited for grade 6-7 students than for adults.

I'm glad I rented it not buying it.



2 out of 5 stars Evolution all thru the movie   August 17, 2007

I loved the cinematography and the food chain explanation and its delicate balance but could have done without all the evolution stuff. These incredible systems could have been designed that way. We will be watching the video without sound. Would recommend IMAX Deep Sea as a better movie.


5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended   December 24, 2006

I rented this movie about a year ago and the scenes were so beautiful i teared up. I finally purchased it, against my minimalist ideals, and i couldn't be happier with owning it. Truly a fantastic look at the nature around us. Goregeous cinematography, great content. I wish it were a longer video.
