I was expecting a show with images of animals living in hostile environment, and valuable information about their lives and HOW they manage to live and survive but the show falls short in this. Don't get me wrong, the images and the shots are spectacular, but what they have focused upon is mostly prey being preyed upon and killed. This series seems to be about the struggles animals are facing when it comes to find food our being killed by predetors. Its obvious the intent is to create an atmosphere of action and thrills. They don't focus more then 2-3 minutes on each species they show us, whick feels like such a waste when we see the behind the scenes photage of some of the scenes. They haste from one animal quickly to the next.
Like the photage of the bats in the dessert. What a waste! We are shown around 1-2 minutes of photage of bat swarms getting preyed upon by hawks. Thats it. Its like the show does not care about sharing anything valuable about the animals and species itself, what kind of bats they are, how they live and suvive. They just wanna show action photage. Like the hunting hawks in the dessert hunting a rabbit, what valuable information do we get? None! We just see beautiful action photage of hawks, killing a bunny. Same with the kangoroos, we just see a 2 minute of photage of kangaroos melting in the sun. There is no valuable lessons or information to this series. Only nice action shots where the behind the scenes videos at youtube actually were more interesting to watch. 3 years of filming small 2-3 minute sequences? You can do better national geographic!
In short, beautiful photage. But this is no BBC production, and it shows.
