Taken From Blue Planet II
This bold cinematic experience takes viewers on a magical adventure across the greatest, yet least known, parts of our planet – our oceans. Since Blue Planet aired in 2001, our understanding of life beneath the waves has completely changed. Travelling from the icy polar seas to the vibrant blues of the coral atolls, this series shares these astonishing new discoveries. Meet the strange octopuses lurking in the depths of the Antarctic Ocean. Watch giant trevally fish leap to catch birds in mid-air. And ride on the back of a hammerhead shark as it attacks. Inspiring awe and wonder, Blue Planet II reveals surprising new places, charismatic new characters and extraordinary new behaviours.

The cinematography is simply fantastic. The storytelling ability, wonderful!

The cinematography and music to the story narration of Attenborough's voice, made this six and half minute clip into a nail biting epic short film.

Love that one parent frantically trying to get its chick out of the water. Barely made it too

Mom: Well what did you learn today?

Me: Fish eat birds

Blue planet is such a gorgeous and compelling show

This was just exceptional footage. The crazy teenager, the helicopter parent, and the predator. The drama, the suspense, the close call and the happy ending. It was better than any script. But I liked the scientific angle, and the prey-predator evolutionary pressure on the fish to take to the air.

I just hope that Sir David lives forever.
As if these great documentaries weren't enough by themselves, David's way to present them is the proverbial icing on the cake.
Cheers to you David ;- )

That one shot at 1:58 of the single feathers floating in the infinite, deep blue, made me gasp. Tells stories about the horrors underneath the surface. Outstanding cinematography

[arnoldcardoz]

[squadgamerz]

You can't tell me you wasn't scared for that last bird his mom even warn him.

[phasm]

5:23 bird's heartrate just went supersonic. "Something just touched my leg!"

[chrisbeckers]

Nobody tells a story of nature like David Attenborough 🌲🌊🔥💮

[El.Duder-ino]

Goosebumping even watching it, so just imagine how amazing was to witness it with your own eyes... nature and this planet is simply incredible jewel we should value above anything and always protect.

[stevebennett]
