This documentary won a very deserved Oscar for Documentry Feature. The cinematography and visuals are beautiful. But some of the narration is atrocious. The narrator isn't the problem-not much, anyway. I am thankful for the 'mute' button when I watch this. I know scorpions have a public relations problem anyway, but what happens to them here is over the top. See it for the visuals and keep the remote handy. Recommended (except for the narration.)
