CommentsXp Best movie ever!

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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!

Max Lewis For a series called North America, it seemed too focused to the US market and called some places that were Canadian, American, and some Canadian inhabitants, American. I'd like to see a more continental and balanced viewpoint in some terminology in the narration. OK, that's my only gripe really here.Photography and production were first rate and I do recommend this. Shows of this calibre deserves a good reception because we need to see more stuff like this and take better pride of our great continent. The BBC sets the benchmark for this type of documentary, but this is a very worthy contender and I will definitely be watching all of this series. The cinematography is stunning and it's a definite must see.

welshNick I am a fan of wildlife documentaries and take in as many as I can. I live in Washington State where we do have our share of wildlife. First of all the plus points: It has been beautifully photographed with great attention to detail and the sequences under water have been quite breathtaking. On the ground the one eyed bobcat hunting gulls and the intelligent hunting by the wolves has also been beautifully photographed.Tom Selleck does a great job narrating in subdued though expressive tones and this is a good accompaniment to the already mentioned superb photography.Now the BIG negative. The music choice. Playing 'wild thing' when the snakes are mating and California dreamin (that hippie drug anthem) whilst showing the west coast is completely unnecessary and in a way displays a lack of respect to the dignity of what we are watching.

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.
