Humans are the most unlikable species in our planet and this film didn't change this opinion of mine one bit. Sure we came up with some genius ways to kill every other animal and exploit Earth over the ages, but I don't really enjoy watching how monkeys gets shot. Photography is as good as you would expect BBC nature docu. In my opinion, better series could have been made, even with the same topic.

The beeb have made some amazing documentary mini-series over the years, however "Human Planet" isn't one of them. It does have some extraordinary moments, often displaying some amazing people, and the photography is often excellent also. But something is missing here, and overall it just feels like it could have been something much more substantial. It undoubtedly relies on its photography too much and tailed off in it's final episodes with something of a whimper.

Amazing!

Contains some very good photography and some remarkable moments, but overall this is disappointingly simpleminded and too often underwhelming. It also has a rather irritatingly formulaic way of introducing each episode with a montage of images of what is to follow, and concluding each episode with a similarly unnecessary "recap." Given the resources expended, much more could surely have been achieved. The final two episodes were the weakest, perhaps leaving an unfairly poor impression.

Disappointingly average. Not a bad viewing but doesn't seem to be creatively powerful or even as magical as series such as 'Life' or 'Planet Earth'.
