This is without doubt the best thing I have seen on television for years. The photography, narration and general story telling of the lives of the animals is simply breath-taking.
Episode 1 was animals that live on islands. As others have mentioned I have never seen such a more terrifying piece of natural-history photography in my life. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it or caught it on YouTube but I never thought I would be shouting at the TV for Iguana's to run.
Episode 2 was mountain living wildlife from Grizzly Bears coming out of hibernation to Snow Leopards.
This programme is one of the few examples which envelopes you in its documentary telling. You are seeing things for the first time and you are left with wanting more. Roll on episode 3, jungles.

Went into a preview showing this morning half excited half worried on what they had done with the Star Trek universe. I didn't need to worry, it was truly great entertainment. Excellent set action pieces The story flowed from one piece of excitement to another with incredible special effects. These bits of CGI not only looked beautiful but not once did you say to yourself "Oh look its badly done CGI". But unlike the Star Wars prequel films these special effects did not overtake the film they were just there to tell the story.
The music score was very enjoyable especially the final few minutes of the film. I was very impressed with the direction and the acting was excellent from actors who are relatively unknown.
Will be seeing the film again and bring on the sequel.

Queued up like many more to watch the first showing today of the film at 11am and I'm pleased I did.
The film was beautifully acted not only by the side cast which there are many, but the main trio. Each brought there character to life unlike in previous Harry Potter films. Dumbledore was Dumbledore from the books and not like how he was played in the Goblet of Fire.
A special mention must go to Imelda Staunton who was fabulous as Umbridge, a right nasty piece of work.
The special effects were amazing and although I wish the wand fight at the end was longer it was beautifully shot.
As one of the shortest Harry Potter films I did feel that perhaps another 10 to 15mins additions might of been nice. Maggie Smith is hardly seen.
But as other people have said you need to remove yourself from the very thick book and just have a roller coaster of a ride.
This has been the best blockbuster film of 2007 so far after a year of big disappointments namely Spider-man 3 and Pirates 3.
Its beginning to feel like the days of the Lord of the Rings films, you look forward to the next chapter and will miss it once its all gone.
Lets hope The Half Blood Prince brings more of the same.
