Summary: Truly amazing insects world
Review: One word to describe it; it is just "Excellent"; I have got it on a VHS. You will be amazed; with minimal narration, but many spectacular scenes of insects to watch! It makes you think and wonder more about the greatness of the Creator.I wished there were other type of insects included in this program.

Summary: Don't get this one for the kids.
Review: The fascination of absolutely gorgeous photography wanes as the puzzling insect antics remain unexplained. My 6-year-old and I are great fans of all that's to do with creepy crawlers, but within 10 minutes, he lost interest. If your kid sits still and doesn't ask questions, this movie is fine; otherwise, buy this movie for the beauty of the best insect photography I've ever seen--but don't expect to be educated. And don't expect the kids to sit through it.

Summary: Why no DVD??
Review: The preceding reviews say it all - this film is a visual feast, and as soon as I discovered HDTV I went looking for Microcosmos on DVD. I'm very disappointed that it hasn't been transferred yet. I want to show my 4-year-old what bugs are really like; I guess he'll have to see it on VHS.

Summary: Amazing experience
Review: The universe of insects and their environment is normally almost invisible to us. This film exposes one to the beautiful, fearsome, and even romantic world of stag beetles, snails, ants, and more. The scene of the re-birth of a mosquito from its larval stage is as graceful and inspiring as any ballet. Caterpillars are comical and the viewer can see every hair shimmer upon their chubby bodies. Stag beetles lock horns over territory while their battle resounds from the speakers as if they were the size of rams. This film inspires anyone at any age. I will never tire of seeing it.

Summary: Wow!
Review: There are only two videos I have seen that can keep a roomful of people from age 2 to 75 from talking because they are so mesmerized by what is on screen. One is Wallace and Grommit. This is the other one.

Summary: Stupendous "day in the life of a meadow"
Review: There are very few movies I would rate with 5 stars; this is one of them. The insect photography is stunning and often humorous. The stag beetle fight, reminiscent of rams; the ladybug on the "trampoline" during the rain storm, and the tenacious dung beetle will cause you to view insects in a way you never have before (no pun intended). Truly a masterpiece. I appreciated that there was no talk of "evil"ution, too. The only thing I didn't care for was the music.

Summary: A film for all ages
Review: There are very few things ( and I mean VERY few) that I will let my son watch on television and this is definitely one of them. It depicts things in a way that doesn't put limits on the imagination, but allows the viewer to view the world of insects without boundaries.

Summary: The evilness of the film studios
Review: This beautiful film is done a disservice by the motion picture industry. It was released on DVD in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2003. In the US, it will be released on January 13, 2004. This just goes to show how much regard the film industry has for documentary films, especially one that trumps most of the special-effects-laden, vacuous, empty action films that are turned out every summer to entertain the masses with mindless violence and cheap (in quality and effect, not in price) computer wizardry.

Summary: MicroCosmos
Review: This film's visulals are astounding. The problem is that with such limited narration you can't always figure out what the insects are doing and why, which is the interesting part to me.

Summary: Please release on DVD!
Review: This is a fantastic, eloquent documentary on the life of insects! This is truly a unique, stunning approach to the infintite beauty that surrounds us in this world. Viva La France! Please release this on DVD though. It seems like it is meant for it.
