Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Feb 5, 2015
More thematically ambitious and less saccharine than the usual big screen nature docs that constitute the primary fare at museum venues, the film is educational enough to please adults while providing the "wow" factor necessary to impress youngsters.

nilufer e @Nilicim Apr 25, 2018 I'm always a sucker for a well narrated documentary, this one was really good but I'm afraid it didn't teach me much new stuff. I might have seen more than enough documentaries about the unseen stuff for my share. See more Aug 31, 2016 A dazzling display of visuals that could and should have been an hour longer.
