Sir David Attenborough: Frozen Planet II


VIDEO: Christopher Stevens reviews the weekend's TV: The only way to get closer to a wolf...is to be eaten by one. Sir David Attenborough's Frozen Planet II reveals new behavior and animal secrets that naturalists might never uncover by watching through binoculars in the wild. The photography is spectacular, sophisticated, and is vivid and spectacular.
Sir David Attenborough describes nature rather than watch Ray Mears on one of his Boy Scout nature treks. It’s nonsense to suggest that the spectacular ultra-high-definition video sequences in Frozen Planet II (BBC1) are just pretty pictures. The photography is so vivid, and the filming techniques are so sophisticated, that every segment reveals new behavior — animal secrets that naturalists might never uncover by watching through binoculars in the wild, the Ray Mears way.
