BREATHTAKING JOURNEY INTO ANOTHER WORLD
This incredibly beautiful film is like a trip to the outer edges of Eden. The stunning cinematography is a sight to behold again and again. Judi Dench's measured voice work is a perfect match. This film reminds me a little of "Micro Cosmos" in tone and style. I have an affection for the great beauty of the natural world caught on film. I find it reassuring and also somewhat disturbing that this world is more mysterious than we can possibly imagine and also more awesome and wonderful. Yes, feel the wonder and awe. Because that's what this little gem is all about.

"Bugs! A story about Bugs. Starring real Bugs!"
Awesome film! I saw it at the Franklin Institute iMax in Philadelphia, somewhat ironically presented by Terminix. The vivid imagery is amazing! I don't know how this filmmaker achieved these shots, but you feel like you are about the same size as these bugs, as if you're actually living in the microcosm of their little world. Can't wait for this to be released on DVD!!!!

Awesome miniature world
Awesome filmage. The life of insects is really fascinating and vital for the survival of rest of the living creatures on earth. Magnificent close-ups and time-lap photography. For bug lovers a really nice addition to the collection. The down side is, that the documentary is damn too short. Only 38 minutes. Product information says 40 minutes, yes, only if you count the end credits as part of the total lenght. Many scenes are staged and digital effects have been added. However, it has been well done, it is very realistic and the "making of" section is informative and interesting. The overall impression is that this documentary is worth the price. Although, Microcosmos, Genesis and Life in the Undergrowth are MUCH better.
