Attenborough matches the natural world’s grandeur with his own intellectual and moral seriousness.

This cracking campaigning documentary makes a galvanising case for action – and without lobbing its audience overboard with an anchor weight of hopelessness yoked to their heels.

Brilliantly done. I am awed by the way this film manages to convey an urgent message about nothing less than our survival, while keeping us riveted with jaw-dropping photography, a sense of hope, and a musical score that will stir your soul. Many movies are called "must see." This one truly is.
