Yann Arthus-Bertrand, is without a shadow of a doubt one of the truly great masters in photography. And this film is a treat to watch, if for no other reason than it is visually stunning!
Admittedly, one of the key ingredients that has made his so famous and I am sure quite wealthy was the fact that he focused initially on capturing images that almost no-one ever sees (including pilots). That being the earth from directly above and straight down.
Now that isn't a negative comment - In fact, it is the exact opposite. In my humble opinion, one of the markers that truly differentiates a master from the good is that they portray something original and from a totally unique point of view.
For those that know his work, examples and links to it below, this film is pretty much a high definition, motion version of his stills. With, the addition of an emotive voice over regarding the state of our planet, what we are doing to it and what we need to be looking at doing now to stop the slide into oblivion.
Politics and beliefs aside - It is a truly great watch - even if you durn the volume down, or better still, if you are offended by climate change and green issues so much, choose a language to one you simply do not understand, as the music goes very well with the film.
Personally, I watched it for what it was. Absorbed the beauty of the filming and took/left from the ideology what I wanted.
For anyone who has a passion for imagery of any kind, this is a must see!
