GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

tankace North America is an other one of the documentary about the corners of the world in which wild life does its thing and the inhabitants try to survive. To be honest I have seen more or less a dozen of this type of documentaries and see one more I was thinking " The faction of that is out and the documentary number 17 is unnecessary and what has more to give?". It was fine ,but didn't give me something I didn't already know.For starter I have been watching wild life series since I was nine years old ,so I can say that I know well these series. North America just show you the creatures of the wild west (wow what a twist) ,again the California coast and the Midwest. Although the series isn't badly made or be offending to the audience the fact it doesn't try to be original just gives me a dejavou filling yet again. That is tiring and frankly why eat again pizza when I have eaten every combination imagine?If you like it ,fine I don't blame you it is an entertaining documentary and the images showed are good looking. My problem is it doesn't give something new and that's an issue with the majority of the documentaries nowadays ,it seem, they have been out of content and they just give you the same things again about WW2, Dinosaurs, Vietnam, Irak , Rome, WW1, Inventions, China and so on.In the end as said by Immortal Joe himself :" Mediocre!" ,no originally is a sign a laziness on the creatures part and I want to see new content for ones ,I crave it since 2013. Three whole years, even if you aren't an expert ,you can get that the documentary genre is stagnating.

amy-r-jarvis North America has amazing and stunning photography. What the photographers had to endure to capture just the right scene was astonishing, and at times nerve wracking. Tom Selleck does an amazing job of narrating each show. As stated above by a less than desirable review, Mr. Selleck's political choice and right should not come into play when viewing or buying this series of DVD's. Also be aware that Mr. Selleck did not write the narration of North America, he was hired to read a script which he does a wonderful job of doing! I would like to see more North America films with him narrating, his voice is perfect for it. As for the music, it was actually funny at times (and keeps an audience of smaller people engaged, and lets older ones laugh). The theme song is perfect for the series! One review above stated that the series did not show animals further south... Yes it does, they went to Costa Rica!

ibn-1 The photography is fantastic, however the narration is exceedingly poor. A curious melange; assuming your audience is a naive eight year old whose never experienced nature, coupled to a especially bold level of American Jingoism. I've never heard such chauvinistic patriotism in a Nature Documentary.It comes across as Americana delirium mated to beautiful visuals, like a pet propaganda project. The Music is often misplaced and overwrought as well... when they shut up and just show the wonderful visuals it's a striking meditation on Nature, but those moments are few. It's a shame that visual genius was coupled to written lunacy.

MartinHafer "North America" is a nature show about the animals of North America that has been shown on the Discovery Channel here in the States. While I have not seen all the episodes, I was blown away by "North America". As I sat and watched with my aunt and uncle, I just couldn't believe the cinematography--and it simply looked too good for television. It has about the best camera work of any show I can recall--with breathtaking scenery, clips of animals doing things you've never seen on film before, and a scope that is incredible. Seen on a large HD TV, it is simply a delight. Now I would give the show a 10 but for one small annoyance. Too often the filmmakers thought it would be clever to show clips of these animals set to pop music (such as a pika running about set to the tune "9 to 5") and I found this really annoying and took me out of the moment. Still, a minor crime in an otherwise impeccable show.By the way, although the show is called "North America", it only seems to be about the animals of the US and Canada--not the rest of North America (such as Mexico, Belize, and the Caribbean).
