Critic Reviews

Walter Addiego

Its gently delivered theme and friendly images of nature (no lions eating antelopes here), this is a fine thing for families and school groups. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

It's an ideal film to open on Earth Day, for in the least preachy way possible it celebrates the natural world to make viewers pause and consider the profound importance of preserving the planet. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

Despite his obvious passion, Long never fully ties together the human and animal footage, and so the film feels disjointed, as if two different documentaries are being fused into one. Read full review

Sheri Linden

In this well-intentioned celebration of nature and traditional ways of life, giant-screen images feel generic when they should inspire wonder. Read full review

Robert Koehler

Respecting Mother Earth should never be as dull as watching Sacred Planet, a repetitive, globe-hopping Imax project that dresses up well-known ecological truisms with pretty nature photography. Read full review

Jami Bernard

If Sacred Planet helps kids appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature and animal life, it will be worth it. But surely civilization can come up with a more generously entertaining delivery system. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Beautifully shot and well-meant -- but fairly snoozy. Read full review
