"Earth"(09)...B

"EARTH" ... Disney ought to be ashamed of themselves for putting out these recycled images in a messy and nearly incoherent cut and paste job. It seems that Disney is trying to cash in by leveraging every single asset that they have. 


For example, midway through this movie lush scenes of the Okavango Delta are shown, and then a reference is made to their headwaters up in the distant mountains. Suddenly, the scene shifts from Africa all of the way to the Himalayan Mountains in India and then half way around the world to the Angel Falls in South America without any explanation or narrative. Admittedly dramatic visuals, but from three different continents with nary a rhyme or reason...


Yes, the scenes are beautiful, but any aficionado of the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet has seen many of these very same scenes before. David Attenborough did it far better in his excellent series. (B, Skip this movie and rent David Attenborough.)
