Whilst this sounds like a bold statement, everything from the lighting to the framing, right up to the intricate camera movements are on point and at times its so mesmerising to see these majestic creatures in their habitat. The breathtaking imagery and technically challenging shots that are shown in this documentary are a step up from the previous Blue Planet and arguably from every other nature documentary too. His calming voice is as pleasant as it is charming and his continued passion and enthusiasm for these projects is inspiring, especially for a man who’s over 90. The episodes go in depth showing the incredibly delicate eco systems of these animals as well as showing some new species, helped along by the returning David Attenborough as the voice over narrator. The documentary explores different regions of the sea in each of its seven distinct episodes, exploring the crowded coral reef through to the isolated blue desert of the open sea. If you’ve seen other BBC nature documentaries then you’ll be at home with the feel and layout of these episodes as beautiful, picturesque landscape shots are used to break up individual stories of animals as they go about their normal day to day routine.
Boasting groundbreaking filming techniques and a blockbuster orchestral score, Blue Planet II is an incredible filming achievement. From the awe-inspiring deep sea chasms and the creatures that inhabit them, through to the coastal wildlife that reside alongside crashing waves and rocky outcroppings, Blue Planet II is a comprehensively crafted, perfect illustration of just how special our watery world really is.
The numbers speak for themselves – Blue Planet II is a documentary of epic proportions. 4 years, 125 expeditions across 39 countries and over 6000 hours of underwater dive footage.
