IMAX by BacardiRocky	Apr 24th, 2009 10:20:29 AM
Is this going to be on IMAX?
Were these even filmed in IMAX? by MamboMan	Apr 24th, 2009 10:27:49 AM

MamboMan by BacardiRocky	Apr 24th, 2009 10:30:15 AM
The article says "all shot with the most modern camera equipment available." I would hope that means IMAX. I dunno.
am I wrong... by robamenta	Apr 24th, 2009 10:30:26 AM
to feel creeped out with companies using the environment as a way to make money and as marketing tools? The latest hot way to market is being green. green this, green that...(green = new greed) isnt greed the whole reason we have gotten the world in this situation?? ..the 'Disneynature' name make we want to run as far away from this as I can.
it was shot on hd by Dromosus	Apr 24th, 2009 10:36:44 AM
Try lugging an IMAX camera to the mountains of the Pakistan/Afghanistan border and waiting for months to get a glimpse of a snow leopard!
Disney ruined this one... by jabbayoda	Apr 24th, 2009 10:40:06 AM
by removing the squid.
Earth. The place Paris Hilton lives. by Knobules	Apr 24th, 2009 10:41:43 AM

Of course not IMAX by CerebralAssassin	Apr 24th, 2009 10:42:23 AM
"The article says "all shot with the most modern camera equipment available." I would hope that means IMAX. I dunno." Since IMAX is the opposite of modern camera equipment, the answer is obviously no.
Even if this wasn't shot in IMAX... by Geomancer21	Apr 24th, 2009 10:49:56 AM
I'd imagine it would still look incredible on a true IMAX screen. A big summer blockbuster may look grand in IMAX but this is the stuff IMAX (and its theaters) was made for.
Love me some throwback TRUE LIFE ADVENTURES by Six Demon Bag	Apr 24th, 2009 10:51:26 AM
disney made the documentary accessible, give credit where due
Disneynature by menstrual_blitz	Apr 24th, 2009 11:02:47 AM
That's a horrifying oxymoron if ever there was one. I had passes to this and skipped it.
Ooh, a Disney nature movie! by rev_skarekroe	Apr 24th, 2009 11:14:48 AM
Do they chase more lemmings off of a cliff to create drama?
Polar Bear story is bull... by HercsShowerRadio	Apr 24th, 2009 11:23:48 AM
I'm tired of Polar Bears being presented as these helpless care bears having to swim thousands of miles as their homeland disappears under their paws- it's bullshit! Polar bears are naturally designed to swim great distances, it's what they do. Besides it's not Global Warming anymore it's "Climate Change". If you want to scare the kiddies with propaganda at least keep it consistant.
Your spelling is "consistant" with bad by Tell_Your_Mom_I_Said_Hi	Apr 24th, 2009 11:46:27 AM
ZOMG GRAMMAR NAZI IN THE ROOM! RUN!

Don't you have a Holocaust deniers onference to go to?
I loved it. by antonphd	Apr 24th, 2009 12:05:46 PM
Even though I have Planet Earth. Seeing this in a theater was breathtaking. Especially with children. Life kicks fucking ass.
HercsShowerRadio by antonphd	Apr 24th, 2009 12:11:15 PM
I like to scare kiddies by dumping their heads in toilets and flushing while they thrash around in terror. Then I tell them that this is what we do to stop terrorist attacks. Then I take them to church to be molested. It's character building.

Waterboarding stopped a terror attack on LA..........FACT
I have Planet Earth on Blu-ray, so.... by Vic Twenty	Apr 24th, 2009 12:43:08 PM
Is there any point to seeing this? Isn't this just fooage from that cobbled together for a feature? That said, some of the imagery is truly amazing and the thought o seeing it on the big screen is tempting. I know James Earl Jones does the voiceover for Disney, replacing the BBC versions Sir Anthony Hopkins (top notch) and the US versions Sigourney Weaver (considerably less top notch). So Darth Vader can tell you how adorable a baby duck is. Awesome.
capone, you moral crusader by BendersShinyAss	Apr 24th, 2009 01:07:19 PM
kids can handle more than you will ever believe.
how have disney got their claws on a BBC tv series? by billyhitchcock	Apr 24th, 2009 01:15:34 PM
i'm guessing they have the american rights? but releasing this as a film borders on plagarism surely! also disney are the most environmentally irresponsible company i have ever seen. i was at disneyland Paris recently and they gave away plastic bags like nobodys business.

Disneynature Oceans footage by Ironhead	Apr 24th, 2009 01:30:48 PM
["I was pleased to see a trailer for Disneynature's 2010 offering, OCEANS, which seems to be all-new footage."] Much like the footage for "Earth" came from the shoots for "planet earth," much of the footage for the upcoming "Oceans" came from "blue planet."
Hobocode by HercsShowerRadio	Apr 24th, 2009 02:23:36 PM
I don't know what an "onference" is but don't let me keep you from buying your carbon credits. Twit.

Reasonaxe by antonphd	Apr 24th, 2009 03:05:43 PM
We executed waterboarders after WW2. That was the war against the Nazis that we won without torturing anyone. Then there was that cold war that we also won without torturing anyone. But I guess that now instead of doing what is proven to work against Nazis and superpowers with which we are in a nuclear arms race... we are going to do what losers do. Losers that we executed. But yeah, you know, I'm sure that the heroes of WW2 and the cold war got it all wrong. Now that everything has changed with a much scarier threat. Ok.

THANKS FOR THE REVIEW CAPONE by BringingSexyBack	Apr 24th, 2009 04:30:07 PM
I saw this on Earth Day, and yeah I have the whole Planet Earth series but on standard def DVD. This big screen experience was one to savor. It was really beautiful and touching, and gave the audience a wonderful communal experience.
GREAT JOB ALL FOR DEBUNKING REASONAXE by BringingSexyBack	Apr 24th, 2009 04:35:09 PM
NPR had an exhaustive report that all the valuable intel was derived through interrogation and before torture was applied. And they made a good point - if torture was so effective why didn't they give up Bin Laden? The former Bush Admin better suit up for a (figurative) flogging.
Earth, the final frontier, these are the voyages of the star stu by kbarber29	Apr 24th, 2009 05:31:41 PM
Earth, the final frontier, these are the voyages of the star studded polar bear. It's 2 hour mission: to seek out new non-melting ice, to seek out new meat, and to boldly go where no polar bear has gone before... McDonalds.
PLANT! by ChrisPC24	Apr 24th, 2009 06:11:59 PM
He spelled it "Plant Earth". Also he gotta eat, has a bomb in his ribcage, etc.
Vic Twenty by EWS	Apr 24th, 2009 08:16:07 PM
It was Richard Attenborough, the King of nature. I've got this on DVD, and the Shark breaching is still the best in the world. See, THIS is why I love that we pay a TV Licence fee.
Nothing will ever compare to The Living Desert by DDMAN26	Apr 24th, 2009 09:48:17 PM
or The Vanishing Prairie, Seal Island and the rest of the True Life Adventures. Those we're all great.

IMO most kids can handle some violent nature footage. by GibsonUSA Returns	Apr 24th, 2009 11:07:48 PM
It's nature. Lions hunting. Sharks hunting. Kids burn bugs under magnifying glasses. IMO most kids can handle graphic footage of nature, in fact its educational.
The Cheetah Scene by Anything But Tangerines	Apr 25th, 2009 12:21:35 AM
is the second coming of cinema I'm fucking serious
Why is it so important to see this on the big screen? by Dreamwriter	Apr 25th, 2009 03:28:52 PM
From what I understand, most of Planet Earth (which is where they got all the footage for this) was filmed with 1080p video cameras, not film cameras. So all we get from seeing it on the big screen is...bigness. No extra visual detail. In fact, it'll have less detail than the average movie shown at the theater. Better just to get the British version of Planet Earth and watch that, get better narration and 550 minutes of amazing footage rather than a mere 90 minutes.

Right you are, Sir Richard is was. I am scheduled to have my head surgically removed from my butt on Monday so hooray for me.
