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?
传统的复仇故事，北欧人的原始硬核暴力，导演独有的神秘宗教风格。目前我最能接受的一部罗伯特艾格斯作品。
略微有些失望，古早的哈姆雷特，依旧带着悲伤与复仇的面具，但在蛮荒且古老的土地上，他的吼叫更像是一只野兽而不是决心复仇的王子，长镜头虽多，但沉缓笨拙，安雅虽漂亮，但与这部电影的气质亦格格不入。
3.5星，个人蛮喜欢的，说故弄玄虚，节奏慢或者剧情老套的建议就别看此类片子了，不在你的阅片范围和审美体系里，建议少看
追逐欲望和痛感，展示内在的不可遏制的改变，反叛而后接受，隐秘地迎接未来。
杜比影院的视听效果太棒了，刺激直接的复仇故事。
话剧质感，卡司强大，风景原始，基本上是写实北欧那时候的野蛮残酷生活了，还有些神叨叨，树的画面美到窒息，残暴的画面也是极度舒适。剧情简单，不过，内容有血有肉。连着把北欧几个国家走完，我是真的不喜欢北欧，骨子里就野蛮没文化，如今也就是仍旧贫困的暴发户啊，挪威风景很美。看到最后发现是北欧版《王字复仇记》，真真大悲剧!安雅太好看了! 特效真的太美了，最后王子复仇了，还变成了神灵？
【C】如此空洞，如此可悲，艾格斯在前两部作品里所追求的影像质感在《北欧人》中已沦为通俗的视觉噱头。多个平稳顺滑运镜繁复的长镜头似乎总在号召观众对电影工业的崇拜，但这一奇观的设计实在过于死板。推镜、摇镜、群演走位、隐藏剪辑点，种种属于长镜头的要素总是透着令人尴尬的机器感，没有灵魂的影像也自然无法诞生更多的可能性。正如最后火山口的决战，故事内的角色力图以吼叫获取气势，但其所作所为只能将观众不断驱散。似乎与《沙丘》同理，疯狂挥洒着类似“场面调度”“视听盛宴”“回归影院”等可被量产化的奇观鸡汤，却在自我轰鸣的过程中轻易崩塌，仅留下满地破碎的空壳残渣。
视觉的登峰造极和文本的乏善可陈简直是极与极的交战，如果是游戏的话必然满星水准，但是我们真的还需要这样的电影吗？哈姆雷特的故事随时代变迁改良重述了千遍，但这版在艾格斯作者趣味和大众娱乐导向的拉锯之间走向了最原始最平庸的诗篇荒蛮，然而诗样的台词和狂暴的画面呼之欲出的史诗感依然奉欠。表象越声嘶力竭观感越如坐针毡。一个男孩被洗脑终生的复仇不过是偷窥母亲卧房钻回母亲子宫的俄狄浦斯搬演，孩子都能背诵几句的弗洛伊德以回溯原型故事恰恰也最保守的叙事与摄制真正回到了退守原点。乔特鲁德的形象从纯粹恶女到女巫再到为奴隶的母亲，看似进步但这种草率修正，落点还是弑亲礼赞的敷衍，甚至比莎剧原初的面目更不堪。对于北欧民俗的细节考据和神秘暗黑的图像迷恋，电影，尤其是此类定位为暴力神话爆米花的类型，实在不是其理想的输出媒介。
打戏完全不行，文戏我寻思北欧人也不兴跟英国人似的文绉绉的啊。同样是北欧的复仇故事我还不如回去看《冰海战记》，虽然后者毒点也不少。
把手术和自残视为new sex，充满了性的符号，导演意淫的是有点恶心了。我总是不太能接受男性导演这样的视角·····台词、调度、部分演员的演技让人很出戏。
是死亡，那小黑所说就是对的
对白完全莎化了
啥玩意儿 好多好多年没看过这么这么难看的了。我k出场几分钟 一句整话都没说 大家能清清嗓子好好说话么？演员知道自己在演什么么……
3,5 风格与15年《麦克白》有异曲同工之妙（甚至可以怀疑参考了最后的duel）至始至终都没脱离莎翁式复仇悲剧的框架，但电影从后半部分愈来愈失控，朝着外放与疯癫的方向散发，任由血腥暴力扩张。
其实评分真的不至于这么低，至少在我心里能达到7分以上。虽然剧情老套，简直就是翻版的《哈姆雷特》和《麦克白》的综合体，但是开着电脑关着灯戴着耳机开着杜比看完全片也是真的很爽。视效和音乐都足够优秀以至于把整个故事都太过于弱化…
維京文明中的獸性是建立在鮮血之上的，影片全程充斥著一種陰暗和野蠻的氣息讓觀影過程變得很壓抑，關於宗教和巫術的部分也完全戳不到我的爽點上，好無聊。。。ps安雅還是一如既往的漂亮。
1.5 / 倒也勉强能放到艾格斯重述传说故事的脉络里去。只不过完全没有前两部那种重构语气的决心，而只有改个情节然后吼些一句话意图的表层罢了。以及建议男一男二的片段单独剪个片子吧，不需要全程假高潮地搞这么冗长靴靴。
观看过程中我心说这抓玛的莎士比亚风咋这么熟悉呢，合着是<灯塔>导演作品，得~啥也不(裂)说(开)了
昭华如烟，雪花飞逝奈何天~ahh
