Well I have just spent the whole day binging this series and I loved it! I found it hard to put the remote down, it was an rollercoaster of emotions for the life that has come before now.
I loved everything about it, I thought the special effects were great, I've no idea what the other reveiwers are talking about, the special effects were amazing. Morgan Freemans voice was wonderful and it made it for me knowing that he is a beekeeper and lover of animals, it had to be someone like this. As much as I love David Attenborough I found it a refreshing change to hear someone else narrate the story of a life on earth.
The score was great, it did have an orchestral, dramatic Steven Speilsberg feel to it. What made the whole thing for me was how the story of the start of life, to where we are now came together, well done to the script writers and producers here. I think going through the episodes as they did and featuring animals relevant to that era for that episode was great, the timeline I found a very useful visual to visualise the time involved, otherwise to me it is just a number and doesn't represent the immense scale that this series covered. The story writing was full and a lot to take in, I'm going to have to watch it again to really absorb all the information. You can really see how this series has been over 6 years in the making.
As usual with Silverback Films the camera work was just incredible, every single frame in the series could have been a National geographic photograph, utterly breathtaking scenes.
Well done too all of the production team and everyone involved in the making of this, you have done it proud.
