Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With
spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces.
Episode 1: Water
Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. This time he explores our complex relationship with water. Visiting spectacular locations in Iceland, the Middle East and India, Iain shows how control over water has been central to human existence. He takes a precarious flight in a motorised paraglider to experience the cycle of freshwater that we depend on, discovers how villagers in the foothills of the Himalayas have built a living bridge to cope with the monsoon, and visits Egypt to reveal the secret of the pharaohs' success. Throughout history, success has depended on our ability to adapt to and control constantly shifting sources of water.
Episode 2: Deep Earth
Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces. In this first episode, Iain explores the relationship between the deep Earth and the development of human civilisation. He visits an extraordinary crystal cave in Mexico, drops down a hole in the Iranian desert and crawls through seven-thousand-year-old tunnels in Israel. His exploration reveals that throughout history, our ancestors were strangely drawn to fault lines, areas which connect the surface with the deep interior of the planet. These fault lines gave access to important resources, but also brought with them great danger.
Episode 3: Wind
Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain sets sail on one of the fastest racing boats ever built to explore the story of our turbulent relationship with the wind. Travelling to iconic locations including the Sahara desert, the coast of West Africa and the South Pacific, Iain discovers how people have exploited the power of the wind for thousands of years. The wind is a force which at first sight appears chaotic. But the patterns that lie within the atmosphere have shaped the destiny of continents, and lie at the heart of some of the greatest turning points in human history.
Episode 4: Fire
Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain explores man's relationship with fire. He begins by embarking on an extraordinary encounter with this terrifying force of nature - a walk right through the heart of a raging fire. Fire has long been our main source of energy and Iain shows how this meant that the planet played a crucial role in Britain's industrial revolution, whilst holding China's development back. Along the way he dives in a mysterious lake in Oregon, climbs a glacier of salt, crawls through an extraordinary cave in Iran and takes a therapeutic bath in crude oil.
Episode 5: Human Planet
Series in which Professor Iain Stewart looks at how four geological forces have shaped human history. He explores the most recently established force, humans. It's easy to think of the human impact on the planet as a negative one, but as Iain discovers, this isn't always the case. It is clear that humans have unprecedented control over many of the planet's geological cycles; the question is, how will the human race use this power?
实在是失望，这么大制作下，摄影确实更加宏大、精致，但也更加空洞、无趣；剧本方面北欧版《王子复仇记》也没啥新鲜的，我期待的“女人的秘密”这个点最后还是处理的很tacky。对比同样打了三星的《绿衣骑士》，还是比这部强，果然A24才是真的牛。
是王子复仇更是自我救赎，约等于看了两个小时神神叨叨画面很美的北欧摄影大片集锦。
间歇性莎士比亚式的台词配上北欧的壮美景色、古老神话色彩、以及电影营造的恢宏气氛颇有一种史诗电影的气质 总之 在这个时代 这样的电影真是太难得了
画面质感可太好了，把一个传统的王子复仇记拍的神神叨叨粗旷又原始，挺好
雄性荷尔蒙爆炸！大概是今年最神奇的观影体验之一，再次证明世上没有老套的故事，只有老套的讲述方式
故事上没有任何新意，就是哈姆雷特式王子复仇记。上次看王子复仇记，还是冯导的《夜宴》，本片拍的比《夜宴》高出一个《满城尽带黄金甲》。在融入维京历史和习俗的基础上，故事完整且紧凑，没有明显的剧情bug。故事基底是莎翁剧，片中所有人物的表演都比较外放，有明显的戏剧表演风格，但在导演的统一安排下，并不突兀，反而呈现出异样的美感。画面——属于大银幕的画面是本片的最大的亮点之一。安雅在片中特别的美，闪烁的女性的光辉让维京的阴霾一扫而空。期待看好莱坞商业动作片的就算了，期待看故事反转的别点开了，期待看阿宝色风光片的也请出门右转。本片存在较大的审美隔阂，粗颗粒的狂野风，对于习惯了美颜磨皮的人来说很难受。电影是视听的艺术，本片的视听享受绝对是一流的，仅仅是套用了一个经典故事的内核，这决不是原罪，这是传承！
外媒口碑爆棚而中国口碑遇冷的最大原因是文化差异，这种基于历史传奇的神话色彩浓厚的类似于莎翁舞台剧情节对白的电影并不适合中国观众。但不否认它可能是明年奥斯卡的大热候选。两个多小时的复仇简单直接猛烈血腥，是直男式的史诗般作品，加上神秘主义和宗教色彩的融合，看的像是一场关于命运轮回的幻术。
但奈何不若《女巫》般具有现代性，又不若《灯塔》般有力量感，只配了个中规中矩的俄狄浦斯。
作为莎翁原型故事的原型，拍口耳相传的folklore故事，神神叨叨的豪横调度和怎么横移推拉也不怕露怯的长镜，不但是有带投资了之后的任性，更有栩栩展开历史画卷重温导演悚人民俗美学的意谓，在那个土鳖懊恼特土鳖的戏剧核心上，真是现实不得不往预言上靠，这么一看，所谓现实主义神话传说，那不就是民俗吗......
…我懂了 尚气想杀他爸 纯粹是因为他爸比他长得帅还能打
我有时候还认不清谁是主角
为啥西方老爱翻来覆去拍哈姆雷特，这次还拉上北欧神话一锅炖，看起来一派庄重史诗，然而打来打去目测不过几十人，顶多算农村械斗。当然，两大男主都演过极冨魅力的吸血鬼，肉也露得很有诚意，当属实浪费。还不如正正经经写个剧本专聊皇后这类妇女被抢拐的悲剧。顺说，影片开头显示了时间为公元895年，同时期中国为晚唐，两者文明差距明显。
在混沌无光的世道里，
7分的水平，相比于故事人物逻辑啥的，质感这一点还算不错。演员喊叫越是声嘶力竭，越能代表这导演技法多笨拙，到最后甚至妮可基德曼都开始疯狗叫喊搭配王八剑法了…
男主看着妈死啥也没做，然后又看着爸死啥也不做。。。
7分吧，画面很美，演员演技也不错，但我不了解北欧神话也没看过莎士比亚
不不不还是不必了…… 杨紫琼对刘思慕说他长得跟陈法拉一模一样的时候我整个人在影院笑出声
简单来说就是一部充满悲剧色彩的北欧版王子复仇记。片中部分镜头跟《麦克白的悲剧》有相似的格调，即想刻意复刻一种来自莎翁剧作的戏剧感。要说导演前作《灯塔》里强对比的黑白光影视为加分项，本片夜伴时分的低饱和色调同样诱人迷恋，浅以为它准确赋予了复仇性格——不是激烈的红，也不是冷酷的蓝，而是阴郁的紫。不过要说到迷恋，怎么可能不痴想在绝美逶迤的自然风光下，水雾氤氲的温泉里跟安雅·泰勒-乔伊来一场巫山云雨呢。
没看之前，以为会是仔细架构野蛮神秘的北欧童话，结果到头来又是大家跟在莎翁屁股后面玩了五百多年的王子复仇记那套，唯一算是自以为是的反转，就是想救之人就是万恶之源，在层层特效虚构的所谓神话之下，硬生生蹭女武神的热度，完全无视从头到尾见到到无聊的剧情，到头来能跟北欧人粘上关系的，貌似只有恶劣的生存环境造成的脆弱的人伦关系和利益链条了，真心没劲的故事……
