Hey All!
We recently had the opportunity to see two amazing nature documentaries from BBC Earth. If you saw my previous post about One Life. It opened on February 21, 2013 in over 450 theaters across the nation for a limited engagement. This special Nature Adventure of a film is narrated by Daniel Craig and this is the first time the actor has lent his voice to a documentary feature. Check out the trailer for the film below.
We saw it last Sunday and we had an amazing time at our local Lammle Theater.
We couldn’t wait to get our tickets to see this amazing movie.
The movie was a great story about how even in nature, animals do anything they can to ensure their legacy will live on. They will even go as far as to die for their children. It was so beautifully shot and such an amazing tale of how far animals will go to have their young.
They really showcase how animals can truly convey love and dedication when they have children. Animals do have these emotions and are like humans when it comes to their children. It was an amazing film.
We then came home and watch our AFRICA BluRay.
It too was amazing! We made our favorite popcorn and watched the film.
It was an amazing way to see the animals in the wild. I haven’t seen a documentary on animals that was shot this beautifully before. It’s truly a remarkable series. I’m so glad we got this BluRay as AFRICA just finished airing on Discovery Channel (It premiered January 8). The series was a Discovery Channel/BBC co-production. It took 4 years to make across 27 countries. The crew used 553 cameras, spent 100 days on horseback and 601 nights in tents, and consumed 6,526 anti-malarial tablets! Of the 553 cameras used, only 8 were harmed in the making of Africa: 1 chargrilled, 2 eaten (by a lion and an elephant), 2 mini-helicam crashes & 3 drowned! “Filming firsts” included the first footage of lizards hunting for flies on the backs of sleeping lions, as well as a new hunting behavior in chimpanzees (hunting for honey using 4 different tools).
You can get 20% of the AFRICA DVD that is valid from Thursday, February 27 to Friday, March 1 and can be redeemed in the U.S. only using the code: AFR213. Copies of the DVD may be purchased on Amazon or the BBC America Shop. AFRICA is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.
