Africa convincingly, emphatically, establishes that you ain't seen nothing yet.
Discovery's Africa is yet another marvel of high-definition photography. [14 Jan 2013, p.56]
People eat this stuff up, and a skeptic can find himself riveted by the best of it.
A treat for armchair travelers.
The filmmakers at times push too hard for a sense of freshness and drama. But at its best, the seven-part series is a breathtaking chronicle of species both familiar and rare, some of them engaging in stranger-than-fiction behavior in otherworldly landscapes.
Africa feels somewhat victimized by having been there and seen that. Still impressive in moments, based on the premiere, it appears to be less memorable than some of this collaboration's recent nature projects.
